This project started when I saw this incredible photo shoot on Pinterest. My husband, Nate, and I were trying to decide what to be for Halloween, and this just looked so so fun. Nate even had a ’70s themed outfit, and I had a vintage ’70s dress ready to go. The one snag was: We didn’t want to do this with actual pumpkins. Not fun to wear for any length of time, right? So we started brainstorming ways to create…

Hard to believe I haven’t really updated this blog since moving to Colorado! Guess I’ve been busy eating the things I bake rather than photographing them haha. I popped on today to share some photos I took of my sweet girl, Margot. My husband and I adopted her from a rescue almost exactly a year ago today, and we’ve been smitten ever since! Here’s the story of how we got her. After Christmas of 2020, Nate and I were really…

No laughing at the fact that I never post here, okay? Honestly, I’ve been posting more on May Contain Sugar these days (though, admittedly, still not that often). Just thought I’d share here that Nate and I moved to Denver! He matched for residency here back in March, so we relocated in late May. What a time to move. These are a few pics we took at Chautauqua Park in Boulder—it’s so so gorgeous there and most definitely my favorite…

How I Moved My Web Hosting From SiteGround to Bluehost

July 3, 2020

Not too long ago I got an email from SiteGround telling me that my web hosting was due to renew in 30 days—and that it was going to cost way more than I expected. Um, not okay. Web hosts tend to do that, you know. They offer highly discounted pricing for your first term and then the rates jump back up to their normal rates as soon as that term expires. Anyway, I researched my options and realized it was…

Well, hello, there! Long time, no bake. Actually—I have been baking, but every once in a while it’s nice to take a break from photographing everything that comes outta the oven, you know? That said, because my baking hobby has kind of gotten a life of its own on this here blog, I thought it was high time it had its own home. So today I’d like to introduce you to May Contain Sugar! Oh, hey, chocolate cranberry granola that smells…

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge

Nate and I went on a fun adventure last weekend, so I wanted to share! It was cool and sunny, so we decided to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. It turned out that just about everyone else in Manhattan had the same idea as us, but it was still fun nonetheless. I don’t often do portraits of myself, but I decided that it was time to brave the camera haha. So Nate did a little photo shoot with me on the…
