Wedding Registry a.k.a. Jon Got Free Breakfast

By


This past weekend, Jon and I registered for our wedding.  We (and by that I mean I) decided that Crate and Barrel would be a great spot to register for many of our kitchen needs. We signed up for a wedding registry event and set our alarms for Sunday morning to arrive with dozens of other couples ready to scan to their heart's content. I give lots of credit to the guys in this situation.  There were a lot of men following their soon-to-be-wives around the store while she asked what kind of spoon he liked better.  C&B does make it easier for the guys though.  There were multiple tables full of food, and every time I looked up, Jon had a new plate in his hand.  After two and a half hours and a full battery charge on my phone (wedding registries now have apps for your smartphone instead of a store scanner), we were able to pick out most of our kitchen wants and needs. Below are a couple of my favorite items that I can't wait to use.

This ivory marble cheese board will hold big hunks of cheese while entertaining

Beautiful wooden bowl for serving salad

The perfect picnic knife for our summer dining alfresco


Reusable produce bags for the grocery store instead of those difficult plastic ones

I look at this photo and it seems ages ago. I took it while laying in the sun on a hotel rooftop in Miami. In reality, it was only taken 3 weeks ago today almost to the minute. Since then, a pandemic has taken this world by storm. Mother Nature is shouting from the rooftops and people are being forced to listen. We are being told to stay home, don't leave the house unless necessary, and practice social distancing. Such a funny term: social distancing. What will this do to human connection? To human culture? Behavior? Our future perspective in this world is about to go through a massive shift. "Are you ready for this," Mother Nature asks? I sure wasn't.  I have been learning so much about myself in the past 2 weeks.  How does one react in vastly unknown and uncertain times? I am no longer in a rush to do things.  It's strange, I never felt that hurried before but now there is ample time to focus on things I didn't spend that much time on before. Connectin...

Happy Halloween

By
We are one day away from the start of the holiday season!  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and Jon and I always dress up and go out with friends to sing karaoke. We went out this past weekend as Ms. Scarlet and Mr. Green from the classic game/movie Clue. It was a fun costume to put together (thank you Target.com) and we had a fun night out singing our favorites.  Here are a few of my favorite Halloween blog posts to help you celebrate this year. Happy Halloween everyone! A spooky punch to serve at your party or for the adults that stop by with the trick-or-treaters Even though I'm a dog person, I do love these   photos of Blackie . I don't have baby fever, but Taza's kids make me want little ones to dress up! Especially as Anna Wintour ! I still find myself looking at wedding blogs, and here is an gothic inspired wedding  perfect for Halloween! Put together a last minute Halloween dinner for some friends!

Is this thing on??

By
So I found out that it's not a good thing to pay for a website, and then not blog on it for a few years. So in the blogging world, I've lost a few years of my life there.  But in reality, so much has happened. I've taken on some new roles in both my professional and personal life, but I'll go on more in depth later on. For now, let's give this another go.  Ready, set,  Blog!
