Wedding Wednesday: A Day In The Park

Yesterday was a wonderful day. It started with my first Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution workout in the morning, followed up by a half day at work, and then closed out with our professional engagement photos! Not too shabby for a Tuesday! After working out in the morning, I took a shower and blow dried my…

Jillian Michaels Body Revolution

A week ago, while in West Virginia with my bridesmaids, I was once again suckered into watching the Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution infomercial.  Little did I know that my dear blogger friend, Kristyn, was considering buying it too.  As soon as I saw Kristyn’s tweet about the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, I knew we had…

Goodbye Weekend, Hello Reality

I had a wonderful, wonderful weekend!  To me there’s nothing better than spending time with friends, taking naps, watching sports, and wedding planning.  Saturday started off with a 9:50AM showing of The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed The Hunger Games but I will say that the book is better.  This is the first time I’ve…

I love Sunday mornings. Always have. Sunday mornings scream, “eat a big breakfast! It’s ok!”. One of my favorite go-to breakfasts when cooking for a crowd is a breakfast casserole. Ashley’s Breakfast Casserole 1 box of croutons 1 cup of turkey ham (or your meat of choice) 1/2 cup of green onions (or any other…

Pizza Night In West Virginia

I love the great outdoors. Well, I can’t say I enjoy “roughing it” but I do love being out in the woods. Back in 2006 I moved to Vermont and worked at Dartmouth College. Being up in Vermont was amazing and I loved being surrounded by wilderness. Being in West Virginia last weekend brought me…

St. Patrick’s Day in West Virginia

After our Saturday morning shred and hike, my bridesmaids and I got ready for an afternoon in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.  St. Patrick’s Day wouldn’t be complete without green attire and a few beers at a local pub. Berkeley Springs is quant, filled with lots of antique stores and a surprising number of holistic shops….

Our Saturday Morning Shred

Although my bridesmaids and I did our share of drinking on Friday, we set out to burn some calories first thing Saturday morning. I don’t think there’s anything better than working out with your friends and truly wished they all lived here in DC (and my family!!).  Becky’s and my friendship actually blossomed while training…

Springtime Giveaway

Yesterday I said goodbye to my snowmen bed sheets. A few years ago I bought these at Target to brighten up my winters.  They do the trick every year!  There’s just something about climbing into a warm winter themed bed! My spring/summer bedding is back, which I love! I just love the paisley sheets, gold…

Wedding Reception Venue Walk-through

A few weeks ago, I met my caterer up at my reception venue to do a walk-through. I adore our reception venue and doing a walk-through made our wedding very real!  It was so fun talking to the caterers, discussing where tables should be, how I want things set up, and the day of event…
