I love this girl

I am obsessed with her. I want to make her my friend. My best friend. My coolest friend. 

Where are you, Tavi, and when can we hang?

Maybe it's because she reminds me of myself? Creepy, I know...Not the girl, but that I like her so much because she reminds me of me...Regardless, when I was her age I used to make tapes (wow, I feel ancient right now) and ramble on about what I think and what tickled my fancy and what upset me and such and give them to my friends to listen to. I had a red double tape boombox and sometimes, when I felt extra melancholic, I would play sad music in the background as I was taping my rambles.  Kinda the old version of vlogging, no?

Ps. Her mom is from Norway. We are destined to be friends. Seriously. And if I can't have her as my friend, I'm gonna make babies and raise them up to be just like her. I told you I'm obsessed. O b s e s s e d .

Brand new baby

I tried to think of a clever thing to say about this, but nothing beats "my husband surprised me with a new computer". Finally I feel connected to the world again! My new laptop is amazing. It starts up by the push of a button, it writes the words as I'm typing them and it doesn't smell like someone farted on it. Nope. It smells like a baby. A brand new, electronic baby.

As for my husband, he smells like he just got laid.

My 1st internet crush

Since Jelsen and I were lucky enough to be featured on Brooklyn Bride's blog, we've been getting a lot of love on various other blogs from around the world. One of the sweet comments led me through another blog onto this fabulous blog by a lady in Scotland (dreamy!) who is planning her own nuptials and introduced me to the coolest DIY project ever. I wish I was brave enough to take on this task! As soon as we are settled in the new apartment, I am following her guidelines and making these gorgeous candles. They'll make a great xmas/hannukah/kwanza gift!


First of all, let me tell you how the first thing that drew me her way was the name of her blog, Peonies and Polaroids. Two of my favorite things in the world! (I think we are destined!)
Besides making these gorgeous jars, she diy'ed these pretty shoes that I wanted a while back-but turned out to be a bit out of my pre-wedding budget! I definitely have a crush on her craftiness and put her blog on my "daily blog list" for more ideas and inspiration.

Today, as I was scrolling through her blog and nodding my head to her comments on the "deposit effect" and perplexed that she made me actually love roses (I thought I hated roses!), I see that she did an entire post about OUR wedding. And she writes just the sweetest things about us!

I think this is the start of a beautiful internet-friendship.

Featured Wedding

While planning our wedding, I've looked for inspiration everywhere, and one of my favorite places to look the past 6 months has been Brooklyn Bride's blog. Today, we were pretty excited to see that she decided to write about our wedding as a source of inspiration for others.

Take a peek at her blogpost and if you know of anyone who is looking for inspiration for their upcoming nuptials - you should send them straight to it and expect a thank you or two.
