Once again, Bryan and I made our way to the Speed on Saturday to attend their annual fundraiser, the Speed Ball. Dinner before, for the two of us, was at Bistro Le Relais, a sweet little French restaurant tucked into the airport Bowman Field. After laughing, hugging, dancing the night at the ...
The Firstiversary
Bryan and I knew that there would be a few hiccups in getting married so close to the holidays. It would be hard to take an anniversary trip because that would mean spending time away from family. Gifts? They'd be given two days before Christmas. No matter what, we know that our real wedding ...
Our Wedding: The Flowers
All I can say is that we are so, so lucky to have a friend in Bridget down at Mahonia Studio.
When we settled on a Chicago elopement, I knew Christmas was the perfect time- the city lights up, the skies turn a silvery blue-gray, and Champagne becomes immediately appropriate for every day. ...
Our Wedding: The Paper
I realize that some folks may think that spending money on paper is ridiculous, but I love good stationery. I write an average of 10 notes a week, always send birthday and anniversary cards, leave love notes for the Hubbo, and have personalized notecards for every day use. To me, the paper I use ...
Our Wedding: The Outfits
It makes any bride giddy to hear folks compliment her wedding day attire! Bryan and I have gotten so many compliments on what we wore for our big day- I wanted to share a few details.
My dress was Joanna August from Nordstrom. Sadly, the website only had a teeny size I couldn't have ...
Our Wedding: The Story
Oh, sweet readers, I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to post something like this! December 23rd, Bryan and I had the best day of our lives, waking up in our Chicago hood to walk to brunch at Hashbrowns before spending an hour or so wandering around book shopping. At 2:30, however, we met ...
A Note on Christmas: Cedar, a Shag Rug, and my Emotional Undoing
Each year, around September, I begin brainstorming that year's holiday decor. Moodboards are pieced together on Pinterest, showing topiaries made of tangerines, Aerin Lauder's New York home, gifts wrapped in a multitude of coordinating papers... This year, my heart settled on really decking out ...
To the Fathers
There's something to be said about the men in our lives. The ones who held our hands as we learned to walk, who handed us the keys to an old Oldsmobile on a Sunday afternoon when we were 14. There's a strength in an opinion unmarred by fluff, and heart-to-hearts against a stubbly cheek.
There's ...
The Brunch Bunch Does Derby
I'm not sure how it started. A couple of us thought we may need a quick outside-the-office meeting every few weeks or so to discuss our goals, air any grievances, and encourage one another through life. After so many months, we brought on a couple more members, changed our group chat name to a ...
