My husband Tyler was backing up photos from over the years recently. We went deep down memory lane from our early days when he was on Warped Tour and I was a waitress on Elmwood to our wedding on a mountain top and the…
Tyler and I don’t get out enough for date nights. I think sometimes we are both so tired from the chaos of the kids, work, and general life responsibilities that we fall into staying at home. Lately we’ve expressed to each other that we…
I don’t know about your family’s schedule, but Saturdays are just as chaotic as the work week. It isn’t until we hit Sunday that I truly feel like I can hit pause and fall off the radar for awhile. For most of our relationship…
We did it. Tyler and I have been wanting to do an escape room for 4 years and we finally made it a date night reality. We visited Locked Up Escape Games here in Buffalo where we escaped a serial killer (with only 1:30…
I joked on Instagram recently that I was going to go into pie making business to justify my excessive trips to the apple orchards this fall. Well, I made my first pie of the season and, needless to say, I’m lucky that one measly…
What do you do while your kids are asleep? It took me so long to get into the groove of whether or not to relax or use it as a time to get things done. I’m still not completely consistent, but I’ve begun to…
There’s something so satisfying about giving gifts with a theme. Each item makes the thought come full circle and spices up any ordinary gift. Get your man these presents alone or scoop up all the bells and whistles! Here are a few ideas. Record Player…
One of the things I love most about Tyler is that he’s easy to please. He’s not a complainer, he’s happy in any situation you drop him into, and his positivity meter is off the charts. Because he’s so low maintenance, it’s really hard…
My husband Tyler is one of the most selfless, kind, and compassionate people I know. He’s a doting father to our son and my heart feels like it explodes just about every time I see them interact. Tyler has a birthday coming up in a…
Surprise, we’re moving again! Well — just down the street, but it’s still happening. So what does this mean for us? Decluttering. AGAIN. So we’re skipping Christmas presents this year with one small loophole: each family member will receive a stocking filled with only…
Tyler and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and it jogged my memory back to all the little details from our wedding. One of our underlying themes was the movie Buffalo ’66 since I’m from Buffalo and it’s collectively a favorite of ours.…
This morning my baby slept beside me for a full 1.5 hours. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but this meant everything to me. Since Fox was about two weeks old he has refused every cuddle and only wants to…
Getting ready for a date night these days is an all out extravaganza. With a little guy toddling around the house I relish in the primping and fluffing before getting out of the house almost as much as I love being out on the…
It’s February which means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Historically the 14th stands as one of the most popular days out of each year for proposals, so let’s talk engagement rings! First, let me level with you. Lately I’ve been having the…
Gift giving is my specialty, but when it comes to anniversaries and Valentine’s Day I admit that I have to demonstrate a lot more effort than usual. Any gift that’s given from the heart is special to my husband, but DIY usually winds up…
