Final Baby Countdown
It’s starting to feel real. One week to go. Cheers to the final countdown! Shoutout to my photographers for this post: Jamie Carney Photography ABD Photography Our original June 5, 2022 baby is now Tuesday, May 31, 2022. We decided to move forward with a scheduled c-section, and though it was not what I envisioned, I know this is the best decision for my family and I. Our baby boy is measuring on the large side and after speaking to a couple of specialists, we decided this was the best decision in order to protect my pelvic floor. It’s crazy to think we are already 38 weeks and 2 days.…

Our final Wedding Wednesday post! I am very happy to celebrate this day has finally come where I can write all about my day, my amazing venue, and my rockstar vendors!

Anna Maria Island, FL
Hi all! So excited to tell you all about this trip! For Thanksgiving my family and I went to Anna Maria Island, FL. John and I headed on a 17 hour road trip to bring the pups….YES….we drove 17 hours just to bring the pups with us. It was exhausting. I know Thanksgiving, November 2019, was SO long ago but what better time than now to post this and relive all the beautiful moments we had before the devastating COVID struck our world! I hope everyone finds enjoyment out of this post during such a crazy time. Just as an FYI this post probably has the most photos I have…

West Coast Road Trip: Finale-Part 6 – Oregon!
Hi guys I can’t believe we’re at the final stretch! This is the last post of our West Coast Road Trip and I am sad to see it end. This trip was a once in a lifetime whirlwind and we had the best time. I think something I took away from this whole experience was being able to spend 2 full weeks in a car with John and not having fights or disagreements. We truly are great travel companions and I think that is so important to have, especially since we LOVE to travel. With that being said, let’s jump right into it! After the Redwood National and State Parks…

Wedding Wednesday #3 – Saying Yes To Your Dress!
We are less than 3 months out and there is still so much to do! It’s crazy! One of the most fun things for me was picking out my wedding dress and my girl’s bridesmaid dresses. I was so excited to go dress shopping and honestly hoped I would go to a few different bridal stores but funny enough I found my dress in the first store I stepped into! Not only that but it was the 4th dress I tried on. People say when they find their dress they know it’s “the one.” I didn’t believe it until it happened to me! I actually went to one other store…

Wedding Wednesday #2 – Choosing Your Venue!
Today officially announces 4 months until John and I’s big day. How crazy is that?! In celebration of today being on a Wednesday I knew I had to write my second “Wedding Wednesday” post. Click here to see the first. I want to talk about wedding venues, including our own. In the beginning of the engagement, after the huge high you’re on, I froze and was not sure what I was suppose to do. Being one of the first friends in my group getting married made me feel as if I almost had no one to turn to. All I could see was a huge to do list in front…

We got a puppy and I’m engaged!
Hi all! I know I haven’t been great with updating you on my West Coast trip and so many other adventures in my life but it’s been a crazy end to our beautiful summer. We got a puppy Golden Retriever named Maverick and then a few weeks later I got engaged. It’s been a very exciting time to be me! Full disclosure: This blog is mostly photos but I promise they are cute! John and I both knew we wanted a puppy for a while but we struggled to find a dog that we felt would blend with our family. We definitely had a lot to consider since John is…

West Coast Road Trip: Part 1 – Sedona, Arizona
Hi all! John and I had been planning a road trip across the West Coast for over half a year now and we finally were able to take this trip. It was truly amazing! We spent 2 full weeks driving from Arizona, to Utah, to Nevada, to California, and then finished our trip in Oregon. A vacation was just what we both needed and was my first vacation in about 4 years. It was an experience of a lifetime. This is the first part of a series of posts I will be writing about this trip. I had to write multiple posts for this trip as 1 blog post would…

Review: Rehoboth Beach & Dewey Beach, Delaware
Hi all! I just spent the weekend in Rehoboth Beach, DE and it was a great way to spend time with John and our dog Mia. This location is an extremely dog friendly place to visit which was great for us! We stayed at “Atlantic Oceanside Resort“, 1700 Coastal Hwy, Dewey Beach, DE 19971. If your a dog parent like me this was an extremely dog friendly hotel to stay at. Everyone had their pooches with them! They had an upstairs balcony with chairs and tables, free breakfast (love free things!), a pool, a gym, and a dog friendly beach only feet away (About a 30 second walk). The only…

Review: Vacation to Wildwood, NJ & Cape May, NJ
One of my favorite vacation spots in summer is Wildwood, NJ & Cape May, NJ. Both locations are only about 10-30 minutes away from one another, dependent on where you are going. With summer right around the corner I had to tell you all my hidden gems about these places so you can plan your vacations perfectly! I truly don’t think people realize how much there is to do in here so I’m happy to share my secrets! I always stay in Wildwood over Cape May just because it is more affordable to be closer to the beach but Cape May definitely is a lot nicer. I live towards North…
