Erick and I are feeling relaxed and refreshed after spending the weekend in the woods of the Adirondacks. We both turned thirty in the beginning of September and decided to plan a fall getaway to celebrate. While we were considering where to go we looked into a few ideas; a bed and breakfast somewhere in […]
Erick and I are quickly learning how exhausting (and time consuming!) house hunting can be. So we were both happy to take the past Sunday off so he could watch football and I could spend some time sprucing up our back porch for autumn. After living in an apartment for four years I’ve been eager […]
We’ve moved! If you’ve been following along on instagram you’ve probably noticed that we recently moved out of our Jersey City apartment. That…was tough for me. And I’m not talking about the move itself (which was miserable) but leaving the first apartment we shared together wasn’t easy. So many wonderful and life changing memories were […]
The holidays are over and before heading back to work this week Erick and I used our last day off to de-Christmas our apartment. The stockings are down, ornaments packed and the tree is no longer standing tall in the living room. Christmas decorations always make any room feel warm and cozy so it’s always […]
As I’ve gotten older and my likes and interests have evolved, choosing gifts for my mom has become easier. I tend to choose products and visit shops that I would enjoy myself and the gifts are always a hit. Now my only explanation for this phenomenon is that I’m turning into my mother, which isn’t […]
It’s officially winter on the east coast. Like the – we’ve had our first snow fall, temperatures in the teens, windy and blustery kind of winter. Now, I’m not complaining, I love living in an area that has seasons. When winter comes it means I get to layer up with cozy sweaters and wrap myself […]
Apparently, Erick and I have extremely high standards when choosing our Christmas tree. This year we went to six different tree farms over the course of two weekends in our search for “the” tree. I don’t think we’re asking too much, it just has to be the right height, not too big, not too small, […]
I’ve never questioned where my knack to create things came from. Growing up my mom made all of my Halloween costumes, if something was broken my dad would fix it and our homemade gingerbread house parties were a hit with all of my friends. It was no different when it came to decorating the house […]
As usual the holiday season is approaching at lightning speed. Thanksgiving is just three days away and I swear summer was just a few weeks ago! How did that happen?! Now while I don’t have any tricks to slow down time, I do have a few tips to assist in your Thanksgiving prep. I’ve mentioned […]
The weather in New Jersey has been unseasonably warm for early November, today reached a balmy 75 degrees. As much as I am trying to enjoy this unexpected warmth before it’s gone for good, it’s been making it difficult to get into the holiday groove. Despite the heat, I’ve been working hard on my winter […]
