I just got back from Seattle this week & am already a little homesick! Here are some pictures from my trip & a few of my favorite things to do when I’m home sweet home.
Drive my mustang around for old times sake
Admire the family Christmas tree!
Drink lots and lots of coffee! My mom even put...
A clove & berry inspiration board created for a May bride :)
This one is for you Alexandra!
So funny – this morning my hunky husband rolled over and said, “Christmas with my first wife!” I think he meant to say, “My first Christmas with my wife.” Haha! Buying me a 7D Mark II definitely redeemed him from that one!
Here are a couple of my first shots up in Seattle.
And then it was...
A few staples that make Christmas feel like Christmas…

A couple of days before we left for our honeymoon, Troy and I tried this cute little place off of the Pacific Coast Highway called A Market. It has fresh coffee, pastries, bread, box lunches, as well as boutique wines, cheeses, specialty grocery items and gifts. It has THE cutest atmosphere. If you are ever...
We just got back from our tropical honeymoon & rushed back to put up our tree! It felt like we were on summer vacation but were reminded it’s holiday time as soon as we landed! We found a cute chubby little tree that fits perfect in the front window of our beach house & this...
