Happy Presidents Day! Are you hitting the sales, taking the day off, or is it just another day?
If you’re poking around on the web, like me, here are a few great bits of presidential goodness to check out…
1 // Abe Lincoln Movember print (proceeds go to charity).
2 // George Washington pillow on Fab.
3 // Hillary for Pres via etsy.
4 // Teddy & Bear platter from Fish’s Eddy.
Long weekends are the best and the worst… so much extra time, but it still seems to go by so fast. As always, I have a long list of things I’d love to get done… but in the end, if all I do is spend a little extra time catching up with my guy, I think we’ll call it good.
Here are a few things I’m loving this week…
Dark chocolate almond butter cups… with sea salt.
These gorgeous bunad blankets.
I’m dying for a pair of these ankle boots.
This Valentines-inspired proposal shoot wins my vote for the best of the holiday.
A photographic guide to looking concerned while meeting with the President.
How to run a blog outta your car — sure to be epic.
These super cute downloadable graphics.
Video game characters in real life.
Before I run off to celebrate the day, I couldn’t help but share this rad pink inspiration shoot, taken at Graffiti Cafe in LA…
To my loves… I’m just as crazy about you today as I was the day we met.
Thanks for being mine.
Just when I’ve really started to ache for spring, Emerson Fry isn’t helping the matter.
What do you think? I’m kind of excited for what looks like a few new t-shirts, since I practically live in this one from the EmersonMade days.
Happy Fat Tuesday! Mark and I are planning to celebrate with this recipe for a Sazerac, New Orleans’ oldest cocktail (and maybe even the world’s first)…
In the spirit of honesty and accountability… I have to admit that I did slip once or twice on my January goal. What can I say? It’s been a long, cold month and sometimes a girl just needs some Starbucks. But overall, I’m happy to report that I really have cut down. In fact, if we do a little math, I was having one tall cup, at about $3 and 120 calories a pop, at least 3 days a week when I set my goal to cut back… and even when I include the two cup slip, that comes out to $30 and 1200 calories in four weeks… which I know doesn’t seem like much, but think about those numbers over the course of a year.
Guys that’s $360 and over 14,000 calories… otherwise known as 4 lbs.
I mean I know it’s not as simple as all that (I’ve probably been replacing those calories with something else) but when you add it all up, it really can make a difference.
So, in the spirit of using small steps to accomplish great things, I thought I’d tackle something different this month. And since the idea is to eventually work toward some bigger goals here, my February goal is to write one sentence a day that has nothing to do with work or the blog. My goal is to do a little journaling.
It doesn’t matter what the sentence relates to… it can be whatever just happens to be on my mind. The idea is just to get that pen to paper and see what comes out. And already I can tell that this particular goal is going to be good for me.
Who knows, maybe at the end of this month I’ll even share a few of my sentences! (haha a whole other level of rambling from me… I’m sure you’re stoked).
So, until then, tell me… what are some of your goals? Big, small, or anywhere in between?
No snow for us! Ha!
Actually I’m really jealous… it’s been such a long time since we’ve had a nice big snowstorm. And I know there are a ton of terrible things that can come of a big storm, lack of power being key, but there’s also always a chance you might just have to hunker down in a nice warm house and drink hot cocoa all weekend… which, after a couple of really busy weekends in a row, is kind of where I’m at… so stay warm those of you just (literally only a few miles) north of me!
Drink some hot cocoa and make some snow angels for me… even though I’m not much of a fan of winter, I really do love (or maybe just miss… it’s been more than two years!) the white fluffy stuff.
Here are a few of my favorites…
These adorable floral friendship bracelets.
This single ladies Valentines brunch.
The creatures of oh, albatross — I’m dying over this guy.
This genius new fashion blog — h/t to the always-inspiring Anne Sage.
The prettiest wedding dresses from Whitney Deal.
Alt advice for beginning bloggers.
I’m late to this, but just in case… it’s worth it.
Turns out, those divorce statistics you’ve heard aren’t one size fits all.
41 days is just not soon enough! I hope Phil was right.

I won’t say I’m biased (because really, just look at those two) but would you guess that this adorable little wedding took place just down the road?
I’m so proud.
Jennifer and Alex met right here in Frederick (ahem, at one of my favorite restaurants) and even though they had already eloped, they wanted to hold an intimate celebration with family and friends in the place where Alex had proposed… Baker Park. (You can — and should — read the whole sweet story here.)
When the day came, the super cute couple incorporated so many great Frederick details, I’m dying. From the pedicabs to the McCutcheon’s cider they served at their reception, the party just reeks of this little town that I love, and I can’t get enough…
Life, love, and the little things… one thread at a time.
