Life. (Lately.)

I owe you all a major update on my life as of late so here goes. First off, we had a couple of lovely Russian ladies staying with us last week (Andreas’ mom and aunt) who cleaned our house from top to bottom (including letting some of our furniture outside to “breathe”) and filled our [...]

Two years.

Two years ago today. Happy 2nd anniversary to my one true love and soulmate. Today and everyday, proud to call you my husband, Honored to be your wife.

Kitchen cravings.

Aside from the dress, aside from the cake, aside from the seeing all your friends and family in one place, aside from the dancing and the flowers and the sparkly things and the queen for a day and the whole, you know, committing to love and honor your soulmate and best friend for the rest of your [...]

Whew, busy night. Just finished cleaning up from making the first of my Thanksgiving contributions – the spicy cranberry orange sauce. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about the “spicy” part but it actually turned out great! I went easy on the red pepper flakes and wound up with a deliciously sweet [...]

Friday dreams: Kauai.

I know it was just a couple months ago that we got back from our honeymoon in Kauai but it’s not hard to miss PARADISE when the weather is starting to move from chilly to just really f-ing cold and you’re trying to save money on your gas bill because you’ve never HAD a gas [...]

Boston wedding venues (that are actually cool).

So I got a question the other day from someone doing research on Boston wedding venues, wondering if  we found any other venues in Boston (as in, other than The Wang Theatre where we got married) during our research that were really cool too. And the answer is yes. While the Wang provided the look [...]
