I have a dream life.
I mean, I have a dream-like life and also a daydream.
I want to tell you a little about each. Today,the daydream.
I’m, no we (I’m still getting used to the fact I have husband), are living in Italy. Somewhere in the south, perhaps Otranto, or maybe Procida.
We live in a villa with [...]

You know how much I love LOVE STORIES.
I have much to share from my own love story (today marks our 2 week wedding anniversary), like how we got through one of the most stressful things a new couple can do- joining bank accounts and paying bills- with enough fire and love and hope in our [...]

It took me a month to tell my parents I was pregnant.
Even though I was an adult, I felt like such a child, so unprepared to be a mother, so scared to death of being single to boot, so uncertain of how the rest of life was going to go.
In my heart of hearts I [...]

A lovely Friday afternoon surprise: while lost in a world of editing photos in an effort to try to make it as a successful portrait photographer, one of my long-lost soul sisters, @Bellissimatina, delighted me with the Honest Scrap Award.
I’m not usually known for jumping into blog memes, but this opportunity sounded fun.
The Honest Scrap [...]

According to a woman in Georgia, there are four legends of the honeymoon.
Legend 1:
In ancient times, many of the first marriages were by capture, not choice. While the moon went through all its phases, (about 30 days) the unwilling bride and barbaric groom hid from the searchers and drank a brew made from [...]

Honestly, I am still recovering from last week. (The Ustream Bachelorette Shenanigans with @MissIve, plus the whole getting married thing). Note to future brides: DO NOT plan bachelorette parties of any kind without at least a week’s recovery time before nuptials.? (This is probably the oldest rule in the book, but everything else I did [...]
