Do any of you ever tell yourself that you’ll pos

Do any of you ever tell yourself that you’ll post later on or the next day and then later on becomes weeks later? No, just me?!

We booked a mini vacation/baby moon in September to Washington, DC. I’ve recently figured out I’m really limited in what all I’m able to do during pregnancy (parasail, hot air balloon rides and many more) and we’re not really sit on the beach type people so we decided walking around museums (interactive, ex: Spy Museum) and eating delicious food would be perfect for us! If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them; preferably fun activities since reading about historical events or looking at old artifacts tends to really bore me 😂

Well, I thought I could hold out on this for a lit

Well, I thought I could hold out on this for a little longer but if you know me, you know I'm terrible at surprises! 😂😂

1,517 days. Over 4 years of infertility consuming our minds. It's been one hell of a journey but it was worth every shot!

Baby N due this Winter ❄️

"Choosing Chelsea as our wedding photographer was

"Choosing Chelsea as our wedding photographer was one of the best choices we made in the planning process!! She was incredibly responsive to emails and questions before the big day. On the day, she was so flexible and fun! She got all of the pictures we were hoping for plus many many more. We are awkward picture subjects and she made us feel so comfortable! She also completed our gallery much sooner than expected and we ADORE the photos. Thank you Chelsea for everything!!! 💜"

Had such a wonderful time hosting my in-laws at our house this past weekend.

I’m terrible with pulling my phone out when I’m with people but I managed to capture these selfies! 😂😉

Unplugged Weddings // This is something I always

Unplugged Weddings //

This is something I always highly recommend my couples doing. A few options for notifying guests that your ceremony is unplugged is by:

✔️ Signage. Have a simple sign, like the one above, for guests to see as you enter.
✔️ Spoken. Have your officiant politely mention that you prefer no cell phones.
✔️ Program. Include your unplugged ceremony request in your program design.

What are your thoughts on an unplugged ceremony?

My in-laws are coming in town today so I'm running

My in-laws are coming in town today so I'm running around the house like a mad woman trying to make sure everything is spot cleaned and ready for our guests. While we've had people over for a couple hours, this is the first time anyone has stayed at our new house.

What are some of your favorite ways to make sure your guests feel welcomed when staying over?

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Hap

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday best friend, happy birthday to you!" That's what you sang to me on my birthday last year. Happy 75th Birthday, Granny. I can't believe it's been almost 5 months since you've been gone. I can't bring myself to delete your voicemails or your number from my favorites even though I've had it memorized since I was 5, maybe earlier. There's so much I want to talk to you about and hear your thoughts/reactions. I miss you and our talks so much! ❤️

"But I won't cry 'cause I know I'll never be lonely. For you are the stars to me. You are the light I follow. I will see you again, oh this is not where it ends. I will carry you with me, oh 'till I see you again"
