Listen to my episode on The Big Swing podcast to hear all things baseball, fantasy football, and social media. I filled in as co-host with Dodger pitcher, Ross Stripling. Let me know what you thought of the episode.
We are so honored to announce our December wedding has been featured in the special Spring issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. MSW have also launched an online portion with our exclusive wedding trailer as well as additional wedding photos.
Martha has always just been GOALS to me. Growing up, she was someone I admired. Her attention to detail, ability to create warmth in a home, and incredible creativity. I told my wedding planner, Mindy Weiss, that Justin & I would be open to doing a magazine feature and Martha Stewart Weddings was my dream. I was at the gym when she called me to tell me they chose us and I almost fell off of the stair climber. It is such a beautiful way to remember our incredible destination wedding in Cabo.
It is so fun to look back on your wedding photos and relive all of the feels from that day. You really do miss so much when you're the bride & groom. We love seeing our images and footage but the ones with our guests having a blast are a close second. I always tell Justin I want to go back to our wedding and experience it as a guest as well.
I am so excited to introduce my blog! I have thrown the idea around of creating this space for years and as a newlywed and first-time homeowner, I felt there was no time like the present!
I’m an Indiana native living in Los Angeles. I moved in LA after I graduated high school at the end of 2005. I shoved everything I could fit into my bright red '91 Toyota Celica and drove across the country with very little in my bank account. I went through a great deal of struggles to eventually land on my feet. Through various jobs and money-saving techniques, fueled mostly by $5 footlongs & generic spaghettiO's, I eventually found myself accepted to my dream, school, UCLA.
Although I admire people that have their life planned out and are able to stick to it, I wouldn't change my journey for anything. I learned how to make friends, let go of things that weren't serving me, struggle (and struggle some more), manage bills, live within my means and land on my feet in a completely new environment.
A mix of seeking a creative outlet and having a lot of life experiences was the perfect recipe to start this blog. I am excited to see where this new project takes me. I hope to share all of my experiences as a baseball wife, homeowner, traveler, coupon-cutter, DIY'er with you. If you have any suggestion for content you would like to see here, drop me a line.
