Remember my sister’s wedding from last Fall? Well, it totally slipped my mind to share the official photos once they arrived! From none other than LCS Photography, of course!

Two summers ago we went […]

Did you know I lived in Portland for almost 7 years? It’s where I went to college and where Dominic and I met. Jemma was even born there! Portland will always hold a special place in my heart – for many reasons – one such reason being the fabulous food! Around every corner, Portland boasts […]
And just like that, the guy I fell in love with at 20 is now 28! Happy Birthday, Dominic! To celebrate we used our tickets from ScoreBig to catch a Mariners game last week on a Seattle date night. We attempted to hit the ballpark food favorites, most of which disappointed, but we did see […]
