Hi friends, as I am sure most of you have heard yesterday Barbara Bush ended her time on earth at an incredible 92. I am a big fan of the Bush family (and that reminds me, I still owe the blog a post on seeing her granddaughters speak) and so to think of her life … More Remembering Barbara Bush
Its about time we get back to collecting the memories from this past year. My sister got engaged last summer and her wedding was early January, so the past few months provided some wonderful moments of celebrating her and her family to be! Katy is my middle sister, 7 years younger than I, fabulous hair … More Fall in Love: Katy’s Bridal Shower
There have been quite a few moments I took to my keyboard feeling a lot of painful and ugly things. If I am being honest writing wasn’t just cathartic or about documenting our lives.

But for me … More Holy Week
One of my favorite things about being a blog follower is how the experience goes from just following along to eventually feeling like you are taking advice from a friend. As a result of my love for blogs, I have purchased clothes, tried hair styles, decorated mantles, read books, organized my office, discovered health tricks, and … More These are a Few of My Favorite Things – JCrew Flannels
On March 8 I turned 33 and I continue on with the love affair that is my 30s. When you transition into a new decade it always feels a little unnerving because the days can be long but the years are always so fast. 30 particularly felt so monumental because life had just not gone the way I had expected (I know…. … More 33: Present Over Perfect
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone! Both Danny and I hail from Irish Catholic roots (with a few other things mixed in there- God Bless America!) and this year it has me thinking a lot about family. This day of wearing green and enjoying festive drinks is about fun – but in some ways it just … More Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2018
