Snapshots From the Morning of My Wedding Day

No one wants to wake up sick on their wedding day, but unfortunately, I was not feeling that well, and neither was Leo. I took him out around 6 am to get some fresh air. One of the most beautiful things about the Greystone Inn is the sunrises. We sat on the dock together, watching the sunrise and getting so excited about the day. We both had some stomach thing going on, but luckily it got better as the day went on. I know I’m not supposed to eat scallops because they sometimes make me sick, but stupidly I ate them at the rehearsal dinner (they just looked so good!)

I was also a little nervous because of the rainy forecast. We made a last-minute decision to move the wedding dinner under a tent, and thank goodness we did because the rain was in and out all day.

I spent some time with Kyle in the morning before he went off to spend the rest of the day with his dad. I was so excited that I’d be in my wedding dress the next time I got to see him! The dress I had been hiding for nine months in the back closet!

Our Cozy Thanksgiving Dinner with the Family | 2024

We had the coziest Thanksgiving dinner last night with family. Growing up, we always did dinner in the early afternoon, but it often felt so rushed—scrambling to get everything cooked and on the table. Then, after eating, we’d just sit around the rest of the day feeling stuffed. This year, I decided to switch things up with a candlelit dinner and gorgeous fall table decor. It was so much more relaxed, and I had so much fun styling the table for our family. I spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking with my brother, instead of rushing to prep everything the night before or early that morning. It ended up being such a fun, laid-back day doing what I love most—cooking and baking! I think I’ll stick to the dinner theme from now on! After dinner, we all sat around enjoying dessert and watching football games by the fireplace.

10 Items You Didn’t Know Your Dog Needed This Summer

I love to spoil my dogs. There’s nothing better when their tails are wagging, and they’re hopping all over the place. I’m always looking for the best ways to entertain them, keep them cool in the summer, and make my life as a dog mom a little easier (and cheaper.) I wanted to share a list of products I purchased on Amazon that I absolutely love and my dogs go wild for (ok, maybe not the grooming products.)

Pumpkin Patches, Pizza, Bakery Business Update, and Fall Fun!

I can’t believe my toddler actually cooperated and is down for his nap. The odds are never in my favor, and I typically only get him to sleep 1 out of 5 attempts. I’m almost done writing my next travel blog post, but I thought I’d get a quick recap up before it turns into a 3-week recap next time.
