I’ve Been Dying To Tell You Something For Awhile Now…

WE’RE MOVING TO SPAIN!!! Specifically…Barcelona! In just 3 months! And I’m thrilled to finally tell you all about it today! ??? Seriously, I’m the worst at keeping secrets, so it has been killin’ me to keep this on the DL these past few months while while we have been wrapping up some logistics....

Our Honeymoon In Mexico!

Hey hey, we’re back from our ??! Well, actually, first of all I’d like to just celebrate the fact that we actually got to go on our honeymoon. As many of you heard, I realized about a week before our wedding that my passport was missing (whoops). But, since we still...

Us.

Our engagement pics are in! And they’re making me all –> ? ? ? ? ?. Truly, Barclay and I love them so much. And, I’ve gotta admit that I especially love them because — as opposed to 95% of our photos up until this point — they’re not selfies! ?...

Weekend In NYC

Happy Friday, guys! Life behind the scenes here has been a little crazy lately between work projects, planning this wedding, renovating a kitchen, and getting ready to move. (I know…what crazy girl decided to do all of these things at once?! ?)  BUT, I finally just got around to editing...

I Said “Yes!”

Oh my goodness, I’m not even a sentence into this post and already — especially seeing this picture again for the hundredth time — the happiest tears have sprung back to my eyes. Because it’s still sinking in that a week ago, the most extraordinary man I’ve ever met got...

Loving this Instagram account so much. Just ordered a letter board for myself this month too! Wanting to know all of your best recommendations for what to cook with my new Instant-Pot (<- on sale again this week on Amazon!). I’m already feeling like this thing is going to be a life-changer....
