Sigh…
Thankfully my friend Annie- resident of Cake Town- is getting married this Summer. Maybe she has an opening for a wedding day busy body so that I can get back in the game.
…Annie?

My husband and I just passed the 8-month mark on gettin’ hitched. Ya us! Now the only thing we talk about is saving for a house and buying a house and what kind of house to buy and what houses go for in this neighborhood and maybe we should build a house…notice a theme?
So it was a much needed breath of fresh air to receive this video of our wedding as a gift from our friend Chad last week. Chad lives in NYC and currently works as an assistant editor for the TV show “Parking Wars”. (He also works on Dog: Bounty Hunter- a fact a find hilariously awesome.) He’s a husband, a cat lover, an avid D.I.Y.er & an incredibly genuine human being who made this f*#@ing amazing video for us in his “spare” time. (Oh, and he skates, you can see him shred (and fall down a little) in some of his other videos.)
It was so special to receive this little 2 minute reminder of why we got married in the first place. It immediately took us back to our wedding day. So now, when I want to strangle my sweet sweet husband for making me talk about mortgages, I’ll just take a break, watch this video and hold off for tomorrow.
Thanks Chad! ❤ ❤

This weekend I went to my very first potluck wedding. The idea was to have each guest bring a dish- either appetizer, entree, main dish or dessert- to feed 6-8 people. A risky move and I’m happy to report that it was wildly successful!
My own contribution was a recipe I had found on NotMartha.org a while back and couldn’t wait to make- Mini blueberry cobblers in mason jars. Adorable! Megan from NotMartha has a wonderful tutorial on this project with great pictures, easy to follow directions and some very helpful tips.
Megan’s recipe calls for 8oz. half pint jars. I decided to use even smaller 4oz. mason jars for my own-

Next, gather ingredients, rinse blueberries and preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Long overdue thank you “card” painting made for Aurora,
head crafty lady and Owner of Fabric Bliss in Denver, CO.
Not only is Aurora a super duper double crafty lady, business owner, cat lover and hockey playing bad ass, she is also the most thoughtful and talented girl in the Northern 48 States.
When I approached Aurora with the idea of making bow ties for my wedding in May she not only shared my enthusiasm for the project but took it to a whole ‘nother level with multiple emails on color selection and fabric choices and she even sent me an entire Excel spread sheet dedicated to the topic. Amazing!
And the results were spectacular:
The boys all loved their bow ties, even if they needed youtube to teach them how to tie them, and it added such a special, personal touch to our wedding day.
Thank you SO much Aurora! Love you!!
