Our Halloween Pineapple

November 1, 2017

Posting this a little late, but I couldn’t help but share this little Halloween pineapple 🙂 Nate and I couldn’t find a good pumpkin at the grocery store the day before Halloween, so we carved a pineapple instead! So if you’ve ever wondered whether carving a pineapple is actually possible…it is! Here’s a quick how-to in case you’re curious (sorry! didn’t document with step-by-step pictures!) Instead of cutting around the top of the pineapple and scooping out, start by cutting a…

Chunky Cranberry Coconut Granola

October 1, 2017

As you may have noticed, I’ve been experimenting with making homemade granola a lot lately. And today, I thought I’d share with you my first successful recipe! It’s loosely based on Minimalist Baker’s Super Chunky Coconut Granola recipe, but I think it’s different and evolved enough that I can post it as my own original recipe. Side note: I’m very pro giving credit where it is due, so you will never see me post a recipe here unless I feel it is…

My DIY Letterpress Wedding Invitations

August 1, 2017

While being engaged was a wonderfully blissful season in my life, I’ll be honest—I’m not going to miss planning my own wedding. Guys! It’s so much work! I’m passionate about design and insanely detailed oriented, which means that I obsessed over just about every detail of mine and Nate’s wedding. And while many people say that it’s silly to obsess over so many details, I don’t regret it one bit because of how fulfilling it was to see all of my…

Meet Nate.

July 24, 2017

Hi, there! Long time no post, I know. Things have been pretty crazy over here what with planning two wedding celebrations, traveling all over the place, moving across the country, settling into a new home, etc. Oh yeah, and I have been migrating my blog over from Blogger to WordPress (finally). So long story short, I’m not even sorry for not having posted in a while (: But now that things are settling down again, I figured it’s high time…
