    Today marks five years for us as a husband and wife team (8 years as an item). I can’t believe how lucky I am to have met the man they call…

  • PAINT SWATCH ART

    For Mya’s flower-themed 2nd Birthday party, it was a day full of love and light (and a little bit of snow!) We hope you enjoy a look into Mya’s fun day! It all…

  • PAPER BAG FLOWER WALL

    Mya’s party was yesterday and it was a blast. I just have to filter through the 502 photos (no, I’m surprisingly not exaggerating) and we’ll share the highlights soon! But until then, we have…
