Plan Your Wedding, One Step at a Time
You get engaged and there is a rush of emotions. Surprise, happiness, love, so much excitement you don’t even know what to do with it all. But then people start asking you, “So when are you getting married?” And you literally have no idea. No idea when, no idea where, no idea how much money it will cost. Luckily for me, most of my closest friends had just recently gotten married and I was able to pick their brain when it came to the details (google helped too). I am no expert wedding planner, but I will say I think we did a pretty good job with ours, and we…

Relaxation Essentials
I don’t know about you, but there are few things in this world that make me happier than bumming around and doing absolutely nothing, All. Day. Long.

Whether it’s 5 pm and I just got home from work or Sunday afternoon and I just woke up, the first thing I do is throw on a pair of slippers and go digging through my bed sheets for the remote. While I do think it is important to stay active, I also know there is nothing more comforting than having absolutely nothing to do but catch up on the last episode of The Bachelorette,…
