Happy Memorial Day!

I hope your Memorial Day is filled with sunshine and bar-b-q’s and friends and family and all of that good stuff about the beginning of SUMMER that Memorial Day signals. I also hope that you take a minute to honor the Veterans and those still serving our country who afford us our freedom. There are [...]

This is why…

…I was panicking about moving. A lot of you were like, ohhh Bailey you are so dramatic it will be FINE! Have fun swimming in your margarita jacuzzi, stop whining! Well the reason I was so nervous, my friends, is that Pete and I have the WORST LUCK EVER. Like Murphy’s Law should be renamed [...]

The Baby Monster

My nearest and dearest, and really anyone I have had a lengthy enough conversation with, know that The Baby Monster occasionally takes hold of me. I am the first to admit I am sort of awkward around kids, I talk in a super high pitched voice and the idea of holding a newborn gives me [...]

Wedding Wednesday: Honeymoons

At times in the midst of this packing/moving adventure, I have found myself in the middle of a blackout dreaming of our honeymoon- That we still haven’t booked.

(Smart+Beauty= Unicorn/Mythical Creature) Congratulations, Caitlyn! I love you! We are SO proud of [...]

Thank Buddha: A Diary of Lovely

Ok guys, I love y’all. Really, I do. But if you had…let’s say…an English Accent? Welp? I’d love you more. And I truly, deeply madly deeply do love Helena, and am so thrilled she was willing to add some international flair to my lil bloggy blog, so give her a warm American welcome, won’t you? [...]

Wedding Wednesday: This and That

First of all, I toyed with the idea of writing a post full of ranting and raving LUNACY about Monday nights Gossip Girl finale, but as it stands now, I am still too heartbroken. I literally don’t know what to do with myself I feel so let down. By the writers, by myself for loving [...]
