Airbnb Abroad

We loved our Airbnb in Amsterdam. This place was so cool. Our host had such great style. We stayed just out of the city center in a super rad area. Being mere minutes from all of the sites, while avoiding the touristy crowds was perfect for us. The comforts of home were just outside our…

Paris

Part two of our trip brought us to Paris – the city of fashion, art, pretty people, and amazing architecture. We spent our days visiting the popular spots like the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower and even caught mass at Sacré Cœur. Everything (and I mean everything) was so beautiful. From the Wedding…

Easter 2017

Reese’s Eggs are exponentially better than the originals…and dare I say even the Valentines and Christmas shapes, too? –> Pretty sure Dill had two and I had about nine. After months of back and forth to Chicago, D and I decided to spend our first Easter together here in Wisconsin. We love our families to…

Amsterdam

Came into this trip with the belief that there was going to be one magical canal bridge that everyone got their pictures at and it was going to be so iconic. Turns out that’s not the case and there are canals and bike-ridden bridges everywhere. Our days in Amsterdam were spent in coffee shops (the kind…

Apartment Living

We moved into our new apartment almost 3 months ago. Finally, things are starting to settle into place. It always felt like home, but now it really looks like it. With some final home decor pieces, an accent wall painted, and all the throw pillows you could dream of- I might be able to say…

DIY Eucalyptus Hoop

During my many hours of wedding Pinterest planning, I always saw embroidery hoops being used as ceremony backdrops. They often had full floral arrangements and were absolutely stunning. I decided to take that idea and attempt a little DIY for our wall above our couch. We’ve got photos, prints, and mirrors elsewhere in the apartment,…

Dream Chasing and Heart Moving

At one of the many happy hours we attended on our honeymoon, Dillon and I found ourselves talking big picture creative goals. Our chat over margaritas in Arizona was basically coming to the realization that what moves our hearts deserves our time and effort. This phrase “heart moving” has become my mantra for 2017 in…

LiveSideMedia FTW

I cannot, for a second, believe that these beautiful photos are ours for the keeping. Our photographer, Mike Williams, executed one the most important aspects of our wedding…the images speak for themselves. As I’ve said before, photos were a top priority; they’re one of our love languages. For the best day of our lives, we wanted…

Dirty Dresses and Day Old Hair

By far, one of our best decisions was taking day after pictures. We knew with a December wedding, we would be racing the sun to capture outdoor pictures in the daylight, especially without the luxury of a first look (I went old school with this one! Didn’t see Dill until I walked down the aisle!)…

Wedding Flowers

Let me start this post by saying- florals are expensive. Okay, we knew this going in. But yes, if you want fresh flowers at your wedding, be prepared to put down a nice chunk of change. With that said, get your money’s worth! Make sure your florist delivers, literally and figuratively, and absolutely nails your…
