Now that I am back from the honeymoon I have been working on getting the house put together! It has been a big organizing job, but very rewarding. It is actually starting to look like and feel more like our home. One thing that has been tricky is decorating the walls. I don’t like things...

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...

In just two short weeks I am going to be a “Grover”. Changing my name hasn’t set in until recently. I’ve heard that the whole name change situation can be difficult for some women – almost like a new identity. I will miss being a Tangeman – such a strong German last name. But, being...

Aren’t chills so strange? You get them when you’re cold. You get them when you’re scared. Sometimes, you get them when you are deeply touched. How do three very different things trigger the same reaction? There is a special song at church that gives me the chills, it’s called “Hosanna” written by Hillsong United. Every...

Today Troy & I had the opportunity to do an engagement shoot in Disneyland. We had a blast! Upon leaving, I ran over to get my “exit hand stamp.” Since I was little I have loved the smell of Disney’s hand stamp. It may smell like a mixture of cleaners to some people – but...

While walking around down-town Omaha with Troy’s family, we found an amazing thrift store that has been open since 1978. If you could get past the cigarett smell & put your cat allergies on the back burner, this place was covered wall to wall & ceiling to ceiling in treasures. Antique mirrors, Titanic looking old...

Last week, I had my friend Lindye Galloway over to help me with wedding crafts. She is a very creative & inspiring friend, the same one in fact who created that amazing suitcase chair I recently featured. I had seen some images online of a Strawberry Farms wedding, where the couple made their initials out...

Yesterday morning I met up for coffee with my friend Allison, who I worked at Montage Laguna Beach with this past summer. While we were talking she mentioned how neat it was that Troy and I are in the same “muse” now. I love that word, MUSE. I’ve been thinking about that today & re-appreciating...

Ever get in a funk? Here are my 5 fave mood busters!
1. Chocolate covered Strawberries. These along could be my saving grace! So yummy. I like to cut off the tops of the strawberries, heat some ghiradelli milk chocolate, fork ‘em, dip ‘em & devour! Besides the chocolate I never feel too guilty!
2. Dogs. As...
