April and May 2017
It is June! Hooray! We just celebrated 5 months of marriage and are amazed at how fast the time flew. Lately, we found ourselves taking the camera with us and shooting footage, but didn’t quite have a place for it. We decided we will capture memories and edit them little bits at a time. Here…

Rain Walks
May in Wisconsin means potential for colder days. We embraced the chill and ventured out into the cloudiness recently. We spent some time at Picnic Point and had the place almost to ourselves- only a handful of people out on a day like that. The rain let up a bit, but the fog lingered across the…

Sunset Shots
D and I were downtown for Madison’s first annual night market. Taco trucks, boutique vendors, and live music all night long. We were so down. (But really, you had us at tacos) Usually I’m up on the Madtown happenings, but I actually had no idea about this one. Thank goodness for Madison instagrammers that filled…

DIY Embroidered Jeans
I remember my mom making me wear embroidered jeans way back when- but I’ll tell you that I am really digging them now. I will 100% hop on the trend trains if I love them. Overalls? I tried. The cold shoulder sleeve? I just can’t pull it off. But, embroidery? Count me in. I snagged a…

Farmers’ Market Return
Easily one of my favorite parts about living in Madison- the farmers’ market. Finally, it has made its triumphant return for the 2017 season. Bring on the flowers, cheese curds, fresh veggies, and sourdough baguettes! I finally purchased these flowers that I’ve had my eye on. They are these beautiful dried flowers with some bold…

Travel Planning
We bought our Europe tickets almost 7 months before our trip. That was really our only solid, well-thought-out planning done for this adventure. The rest was crammed in a couple hours, just 2 weeks before the trip 🙂 Honestly though, once the plane tickets are purchased the rest just falls into place. We decided our…

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…

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,…
