#10daysofhalloween: The 1975’s Matty Healy

If you know anything about Jess’ men-of-the-music-industry preferences, you probably know how much she loves Harry Styles.  In a close second, though, is Matty Healy–the lead singer of The 1975.  (Truth be told, she would take their album over One Direction’s–don’t tell Harry, b’ys.)  And, since imitation is the highest form of flattery–she turned herself into Matty for an afternoon. I still get taken aback … Continue reading #10daysofhalloween: The 1975’s Matty Healy

We love Jac Vanek. Mom–not so much.

Sometimes you just need to shut up and let your shirt do the talking, right? I feel like there’s a gap in the fashion industry for a shirt that says “No, I won’t share my fries with you”, or maybe an “I just farted” tank top.  Although they probably already exist–because eventually they’re going to run out of witty sayings.  Not that telling someone you … Continue reading We love Jac Vanek.

Some Good Market Breaks out the Christmas Stuff

I love attending farmer’s markets and craft fairs all year long, but it rocks my socks when November rolls around and all of a sudden there’s handmade Christmas-ness on everyone’s table.  (Well, except ours. We haven’t broken out the festive cupcakes yet, haha).  (I think that may be the first time I’ve ever said ‘rock my socks’…may also be the last.) Whenever there’s ‘handmade’ and … Continue reading Some Good Market Breaks out the Christmas Stuff

Bat Dance 9: Four Girls Become Johnny Depp.

Every Halloween, a local radio station hosts a “win-to-get-in” costume party.  Let’s not talk about how many busy signals we heard while trying to call in and win tickets.  (I was so excited when I finally got through that I had the entire on-air conversation while on speaker phone.  Oops.) Jess and I brought back a costume we tried a few years ago.  JOHNNY DEPP. … Continue reading Bat Dance 9: Four Girls Become Johnny Depp.

Some Good Market in the Red Shed

Hard to believe this was the last market we attended with cupcakes…and it was a month ago. It was a goody, though.  The view, the fire in the wood stove, the outhouse, the vendors that feel like family, (especially when they bring soup and homemade pumpkin cake nomnomnom), and the steady flow of customers up and down the dirt path.  Even the dogs lucked out … Continue reading Some Good Market in the Red Shed

Weddings are All-Day Events

Especially when Jess is on hair & makeup duty 🙂  For Joanne & Rod’s incredible day, we had to get ourselves ready, too,  before heading off for hair & makeup…I think we got up well before the Sun did.  That’s what coffee is for, though.  Wedding day preparations make you feel all warm and fuzzy when you think the world of the bride (and her family!) … Continue reading Weddings are All-Day Events

Europe 2014: Three Pizzas in One Go in Greece

As the four of us were leaving our hostel in London, the guy working at reception told us to “just eat all the food in Greece”. I think we’ve been doing pretty good. The hotel here serves a pretty deece breakfast, so we’ve been filling up. (Toast, yogurt, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, ham and cheese, greek salad…we agree, it’s an interesting mixture of items). Last night … Continue reading Europe 2014: Three Pizzas in One Go in Greece

Europe 2014: Let’s tour all of London’s Airports!

How many airports does London actually have?? I think in a matter of five days, we went to four. No doubt there are more than that. And that makes you super paranoid that you’re heading to the wrong one every time. Advice I just overheard here at the hotel in Mykonos: Don’t refill plastic water bottles because eventually they’ll smell like vomit. Good to know, … Continue reading Europe 2014: Let’s tour all of London’s Airports!
