White Tee Tuesday: In My Mother’s Garden

On a hot summer day, a wide-brimmed straw hats and flip-flops keep me cool from the heat!

This post contains affiliate links. Since finding out the news about my mom, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend most of this time at my parents’ house in Greenwood. For this week’s installment of White Tee Tuesday, my sweet husband took photos of me in my mom’s garden. The first few pictures are by the… [Read More]

When Life Continues to Be Hard

My mom's cancer is terminal. I'm trying to spend as much time with her as possible, while I still can. While her physical condition deteriorates, I can't help but think of this song from RENT.

For possibly the first time in my life, I’m at a loss for words. More than two weeks ago, my parents called me with the worst news of my life. My mom’s cancer is terminal. There’s nothing else the doctors can do for her. How do I write about this? How do I explain how… [Read More]

Our Personalized, Nerdy Engagement Shoot with Trinity Photography

My husband and I love our book-themed engagement photos! I'm so glad we chose to work with Trinity Photography.

Engagement photography is a newer part of the wedding planning process that some couples choose to do. While some folks think an engagement shoot is just another expensive add-on in the extravagant wedding industry, it was one of the few things important to me. Dan and I don’t have many pictures together unless we’re all… [Read More]

White Tee Tuesday: Skinny Red Ankle Jeans

Red, black, & white is my favorite color combination! This is a quick and easy outfit featuring petite clothing from JCPenney and The LOFT.

Disclaimer: Post contains affiliate links. Confession: I literally only wore this outfit for the pictures. The weather in Montreal was a lesson in extremes. The day when Dan took my pictures was a chilly one. Plus we mostly walked everywhere in Montreal, so I didn’t plan on wearing my wedges for sight-seeing. I promise this… [Read More]

Why My Husband & I Did Premarital Counseling Before He Proposed

Premarital counseling is a must before marriage, but have you thought about pre-engagement counseling instead?

On July 29, 2011, Dan and I had our first date. On October 16, Dan asked me to be his girlfriend. I was already in love with him. On Thanksgiving Day, Dan and I first uttered those three little words to each other. I already knew I wanted to marry him. On December 17, my… [Read More]

White Tee Tuesday: Black & White for Date Night

A quick and easy outfit for date night with my husband

Post contains affiliate links, which means I might get a few pennies if you click them and buy something. A few weeks ago, Dan and I combined errands with a date night because that’s how we roll. Alas, we left the good camera at home. My sweet husband still snapped a few shots of my… [Read More]
