My Maids of (Dis)Honor
I’ve been baking and cooking up a storm today– Amish white bread, banana bread cookies, vegetable fried rice… and later, I’m making pizza. (Recipe posts to come, I promise!) So I thought today would be a great day to share just one amazing picture. It’s one of my favorites from the wedding, and it cracks […]
The Easiest DIY Wedding Invites Ever!
Oh boy. Let me tell you, life has been crazy! I was hoping to get more posts out, but things (like my car deciding to lose all power on the highway) have popped up. This week, though, I promise to be much more diligent! Last week I first wrote about our preparations for our wedding […]
How We Spent Less than $70 on Our Save the Dates
We’re back from our honeymoon! I’m working on getting our apartment in order, but I am so excited to share so many things with you! I couldn’t figure out where to start, but after eating some left-over hibachi and thinking for a long time, I decided that the best place to start is at the […]
51 Tips for Deployment, Homecoming, & Everything in Between
We’re off on our honeymoon! I will be far away from the computer (although I promise I’ve got a lot of awesome, new posts in store upon my return.) While I’m gone, I’ve got scheduled posts for you! Towards the end of John’s deployment, I began reflecting on the past year and wrote a series […]
13 Care Package Approved Recipes
I began blogging at the end of August last year. For the first few months, I had a readership of, oh, my Mom. (I love you, Mom! Thanks!) Suddenly, around December, my readership began to take off (thanks, Pinterest!). So, while I’m away, I’m bringing back some of the oldies-but-goodies that you may have missed if […]
6 Care Packages You Can Make (and Send!) Under $15
Care packages are expensive. While I never kept track (and I know, I know, I should have!) of the cost of each full-sized care package, I think mine (including postage) ranged between $40-$60, depending on the contents. Add another $15-20 for shipping, and funding care packages can be a job in itself! Throughout my care […]

A Discovered Photograph
Remember how I wrote in 5 Tips for Military Homecomings that I wished I had asked someone to take a photo of John and me at the airport? I wasn’t devastated since we have a few shots we took ourselves, but… …a few days ago, John posted a picture onto my Facebook wall. It turns […]
DIY Deployment Photo-a-Day Journal
When John left, I had this amazing idea: I would take one photo of something I was doing every day for the whole year he was gone. I’d put them in a binder and give them to him as a homecoming present! He’d be able to see what I was up to all year. Cool, […]
