wedding photos (finally!) & 5 year anniversary!

today is our FIVE year wedding anniversary! of course, any anniversary is worth celebrating, but five feels like a milestone. our wedding was on September 12, 2015 near my parent’s home in northwest Ohio. strangely enough, even though i’ve been blogging for years, I didn’t ever share wedding photos on my blog. I  started to share with this post of getting ready photos with my bridesmaids and this sneak peek, but just…forgot to share everything else. OOPS! the entire day was a labor of love that couldn’t have come together without family and friends. My mom sourced all of the decor pieces and basically decorated […]

home and greenhouse tour on apartment therapy

Super excited to share that our home and greenhouse were recently featured on Apartment Therapy! It’s always super fun and rewarding to see home tours go live, as it’s a way to celebrate how far we’ve come in our space and it always helps my business grow. Two years ago this week, we were finalizing our move from San Francisco to Nashville and had just put an offer on a historic home in our favorite area of town. we were immediately drawn to the house’s charm and character and immediately knew that it was “the one.” 🥰 We’ve put a lot of love and projects […]

april reflections

I’ve always been a pretty reflective person, and writing has helped me process my life experiences. I’ve been doing it here on this blog for 10+ years! Most recently, I shared some March 2020 reflections highlighting my postpartum experience, the tornado here in Nashville, and the COVID-19 global pandemic. I wanted to share some reflections I wrote (originally in the Notes section of my iPhone) now in April, almost six full weeks into our ‘stay at home’ orders. I’ve been thinking about all the things I miss so deeply – some big things and some ordinary, small things. After writing them all out, I then […]
