Wedding Mojo February 21, 2012 2 Comments

Hey friends, sorry I started off the week by leaving you hanging. A busy Monday will do that to you. Thankfully yesterday afternoon was filled with fun things like chats with friends, happy hour with the Red Head, meeting an amazing wedding photographer and having some of the best garlic Parmesan french fries this side [...]

Ahh… February 17, 2012 No Comments

I don’t know about you guys but I’ve had one of those weeks where I feel like I’m constantly running around and working, but nothing is getting done. Can you relate? Tell me I’m not alone on this one! Thankfully, I’ve got a couple days ahead to get back on track. And the globetrotters are [...]

Venue: Check! February 16, 2012 5 Comments

Big news, friends. We have a wedding venue and a wedding date! The hunt for the ideal location was an eye-opening process in many ways and, after many failed attempts, we managed to find a location that has the perfect mix of DIY potential, tons of personality and a beautiful view (that’s it pictured above!). [...]

Welcome to the World Everett February 15, 2012 7 Comments

Before I hit the road this past Friday, I didn’t have a chance to share any photos of the newest Braun family member, which is a shame. So today, I would like to formally introduce you to my newest nephew: George Everett William Braun (you can just call him Everett). Weighing in at 8 pounds, [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day February 14, 2012 2 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! The office has been buzzing with cupcakes, cookies, flowers, candies and general merriment for the most of the day, so I’m just going to ride that (sugar) high right into the evening. I gave the Red Head his gift on Sunday because I’m impatient, so tonight should be pretty low key. [...]

Wine Time February 13, 2012 No Comments

As usual, I’m feeling like the weekend just wasn’t long enough so, in a shocking change from my usual weeknight pajama lounging, I’m dashing out for some drinks with friends. I’m starting to think all weeks should start like this (sorry, PJs!). Hope you have a great Monday night, friends! Source: a well traveled woman

Happy Birthday Baby Boy February 10, 2012 2 Comments

After nine months of waiting and 25 hours in the hospital my nephew arrived last night and I am overjoyed. I thought this time I would be able to hold it together hearing his little cry over the phone, but I lost it. I absolutely cannot wait to meet the little guy in person over [...]

Til Tomorrow February 7, 2012 No Comments

Tonight just magically went from calm to crowded so I’m leaving you hanging with a sneak peek at one of my Goodwill finds from this weekend. The trip was fruitful in the trinket department and included a pit stop for a $5 footlong Subway sandwich, so that’s a win in my book. I’m sure you’re [...]

Hello, Friday February 3, 2012 3 Comments

I went to bed at 9 o’clock last night. That makes me a few things: 1) well-rested 2) awesome and 3) very old. But, I’ll take it. The only downside of my slumber was the wedding stress dream that snuck in. I had a very clear dream that my sister and I at 10 a.m. [...]

Weekend Ahead January 27, 2012 No Comments

We’ve made it to Friday, my friends. I was worried for a minute there that it was never going to come, but, at last, it has. The next couple days are shaping up to be filled to the brim but I’m looking forward to it. Some time in Minnesota with friends, family, work and play [...]
