Remember last week when I talked about guestbook ideas? Well, we already have a winner! Drumroll please… Via SayAnythingDesign It’s the one with card stock circles! I really appreciated all your comments and suggestions regarding the ones you prefer, but we ultimately decided to go with this one because it’s something we can frame, and… CONTINUE READING →
How was everyone’s weekend? We didn’t do much, besides going out for Mardi Gras on Saturday, and catching up on laundry and cleaning – but I did manage to (finally) order The Hunger Games trilogy on Amazon, so hopefully they’ll arrive this week and I’ll get to read them! I can’t wait. In home-improvement related… CONTINUE READING →
Do you want to know a secret? I don’t really like doughnuts. Or any fried sweet, for that matter. Everyone else seems to love them though, so I decided to give them a try. And… they were actually good! Fried sweets still won’t be my favorite dessert, but I ate more than a couple of… CONTINUE READING →
Lately I’ve been thinking about all the little things we can do right now, so we can start crossing things off our to-do list. One of these things is the guest book. Like pretty much everything else, we don’t want the traditional guestbook – partly because guestbooks are a newish thing in weddings here. So… CONTINUE READING →
Operation living room built-ins continues, slowly but surely. After switching the radiators, the next step was to add a couple of outlets. Which required a lot of hole-making. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Now, I want to start by saying that we’re not experts – and electrical work can be dangerous, so definitely make… CONTINUE READING →
We’re still researching different menu options for our wedding, but today’s recipe is one that will more than likely make the final list. We wanted to include some type of salad – it will be summer after all – but the problem with typical salads is that the greens wilt after a short period of… CONTINUE READING →
We already have sorted out (most of) the big ticket items: the date is set, we have the ceremony & reception venue, we’ve started trying out recipes for the menu (check out the ceviche and stay tuned for another recipe on Friday!), I’ve already delegated the music to a friend, and I’m talking to a… CONTINUE READING →
Operation “Make the living room built-ins” has officially begun! Since we wanted the cabinets to span the whole wall, and there was a radiator obstructing one of the walls, the first step was to fix that. Our initial idea was to move the radiator a bit along the wall, but unfortunately this wasn’t possible because… CONTINUE READING →
I’ve always loved pound cakes – I think they go great with coffee, they work as dessert or breakfast (why yes, I sometimes eat cake for breakfast). They’re very versatile, but easy to make. Sadly, I didn’t have a proper loaf pan for pound cakes until a couple of months ago, so any pound cake… CONTINUE READING →
My friend Maite (who used to have a portfolio online, but she no longer does, so I’m linking to her Pinterest boards) has already started designing some sketches for my dress and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s going to be so hard to choose one. In case you’re wondering how she decided on an… CONTINUE READING →
