Our Washington, DC engagement photos were taken in the Washington Metro, in the Nationals Baseball Park, and in Old Town Alexandria. I hope y’all enjoy some…

March Foodie Penpal
This is my third month as part of the Foodie Penpals program! It is such a fun way to connect with other bloggers and readers. January and February were a lot of fun so I was really looking forward to connecting with my penpal this month. My penpal for the month of March was Elizabeth…
Food Find: Pasta Zero
Two things first… 1. There’s still time to vote for Coffee, Cake and Cardio in Fitness Magazine’s Fitterati Blogger Awards! My blog was nominated as a “best weight loss blog” and is currently in the top 10! Please help me get into the top 5, it would mean the world to me. Next Friday, April…
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…
Bridesmaid’s Weekend Wrap-Up
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…
Ladies Night Fiesta Party
Friday night, after a few cocktails, Stephanie made us an amazing Mexican feast! To start, I put together the tomato lime salsa dip that Annica sent me last month. Let me just tell you, this was A-MAZING! For dinner Stephanie made us turkey tacos, homemade Mexican rice, refried beans, and the most amazing cheese, pepper…
Lets Get This Party Started!
I’m baaaack! My bridesmaid’s weekend has come and gone but boy did we have a blast! I have been on vacation since last Wednesday, hanging out in DC, traveling to West Virginia, relaxing at a cabin, chatting with my bridesmaids, and enjoying the beautiful March weather. I am going to spread my bridesmaid’s weekend recap…
Texas meets DC
Happy Friday everyone!! My bridesmaids weekend is finally here! I am overjoyed to have Stephanie, Melissa, and Becky in town this weekend for a girls getaway. Wednesday night Stephanie flew in so we had an extra day to spend together on the front end before taking off for West Virginia today. Yesterday Stephanie and I…
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…
