I'm so excited about one of today's weddings. When Kerinsa Mullins of Kerinsa Marie Photography sent in this gorgeous wedding in Granby, Colorado, I knew right away I would feature it. Then I received an email from one of my favorite fellow bloggers, Alicia from The Charity Wedding, asking if I would like to team up with her and post the wedding together. "Of course", I said. And so here we have it, with each of us posting a different part of the wedding so if you visit her site and then mine, you will see the whole story. Alicia has posted the "Pre-ceremony and ceremony" images and Click Here to Read More

Atlanta, 5 Seasons Brewing & A Wedding
As soon a I saw Jesse & Paul's wedding submitted by Jessica Ashley of Peachtree Photography, I knew I had to feature it. I mean, not only are there some stunning images...but a wedding at a brewery? Seriously that has to be next to perfect! And if The Hubby and I weren't already married, I'm sure there'd be little convincing to get him to fly out to Atlanta and have a wedding right there at 5 Seasons Brewing...since we both love us some beer and awesome breweries like this. At the very least I definitely want to go visit it the next time we're in that amazingly fun town. And if by Click Here to Read More

A Sunny Engagement Session in San Juan Capistrano California
About a month or so ago I began to request for all engagement submissions to have at least one outfit change for more variety in the blog's imagery. And although this adorable engagement session of Mia and Tim from San Juan Capistrano, California sent in by Kelly Mendoza of True Bliss Photography was submitted before I changed my requirements, I think these images are special enough to make them stand out even with the one outfit. I just love how these two really play to the camera. And that bouquet from Pixies Petals, simply gorgeous! So go on then...have a look see and enjoy!

One of My Favorites…Delicious & Healthy Vegetable Risotto
So sorry...I know I've been lagging on my cooking section, but I've been dealing with a lot of neck pain from the accident that occurred on our vacation in July and I just haven't been able to stand very long in the kitchen. I know...I know, we have this brand new kitchen that is begging me to cook in it and I can't. It's like a perfect spring day where everyone is outside enjoying the beautiful weather and I'm inside dealing with a bad case of allergies. Serious sad face! So, instead of not posting anything for a while I decided to enlist a little help from The Hubby and here we go...

The Journey Begins Here
Yesterday while I was pursuing other blogs I love, I was reminded of a moment on my honeymoon in Breckenridge Colorado. It was a poignant moment...one of those rare situations where you look at the person you are with and blink or shake your head and say to each other, "Did you see that?" Here's what happened, it was the first night of our honeymoon and The Hubby and I went to a Sushi restaurant...I know, Sushi in Colorado is like a luau in Texas and believe me I was a bit concerned at first...but our hotel concierge assured us we would love it and so we went. But when we arrived at the restaurant Click Here to Read More
