For Christmas I got the Red Head and his brother tickets to the Wild game tonight. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it turned out to be a gift to myself as well and I’m enjoying the quiet around the house this evening. So I’m doing what all girls do when they have [...]
I chickened out and didn’t go to Target last night. Instead I video chatted with my lady love Michelle in Peoria. She had just hailed from Target and managed to get flicked off and harassed in the parking lot so I figured it best to avoid that hostile scene after a rather tranquil afternoon and [...]
I’m dashing out the door, throwing on some red heels and toasting to a happy couple tonight. I can’t wait to see the Minneapolis skyline from the Dome of the Millennium Hotel and dance the night away! After that, who knows what the weekend holds but it’s sure to be a great last hoo-rah of [...]
I’ve had this idea stuck in my head all day after spotting it on Kate’s tumblr, paperback books as wedding favors. I imagine it would be really fun to try and find a book that best represents each guest or matches your event color scheme or makes you laugh, whatever route you decided to take [...]
I just wanted to share a few pictures from the Warrior Dash this weekend. If you’re not familiar with the Warrior Dash, it’s a 5K race with obstacles throughout.

This might be the oddest assortment of images this blog has ever seen, but please allow me to explain… Today is the Red Head’s 24th birthday! As I was brainstorming an image to post I flipped through some old photos of us and searched for beautiful birthday treats on Pinterest but none of them seemed [...]
The Royal Wedding is almost here and in honor of the big day some friends and I are having a tea party on Saturday. We’ve got the DVR set to record the live coverage, the hats picked out and now all that’s left it to is gather the grub. I’ve been delegated to make cucumber [...]
Cheers to Friday, my friends. I hope you made it through the week in one piece and are counting down the minutes until it’s officially the weekend. Whatever you’re up to this the next couple days, baseball games, watching the Masters or indulging in some adult beverages, I hope it’s just what you need. The [...]
The mailman has been my best friend this week. He delivered this delicious scent on Monday, this software on Tuesday and this much-anticipated book yesterday. I quickly skimmed through Handmade Weddings last night and it was love at first sight. I don’t have any weddings coming up but I think that some of these projects [...]
