I actually cannot believe I am sitting in my dining room finally on the other side of our nearly 4 year engagement. It still feels a bit surreal but so incredibly satisfying to think back to our big day. For those of you who might be new here check out my Wedding section for the […]
Thanksgiving is just days away (!!) and that means it’s time for my absolute FAVORITE food: stuffing. Yes, I am a carb lover who always goes for seconds of the bread goodness over potatoes every single time. As much as I love stuffing I set out years ago to perfect a recipe that was so […]
Happy Week of my Wedding!!! JK, it was supposed to be on Saturday (RIP) but my actual wedding is a year away…it’s the strangest feeling I can’t even describe. I realized my last update here on all things #OnceUponACline was way back in May (!!!) which means I have quite a few updates to share! […]
It’s no surprise to most that I love Halloween (and a good theme). The decorations, the scary(ish) movies, and of course dressing up for a night of fun. About 10 years ago I found 3 Wishes and it has continued to be my go-to for sexy, playful costumes. At the time I was hunting for […]
If you know me you probably know how much I adore being on the water. A lake…the ocean…in a pool. I live for warm afternoons floating on a boat with the sun shining down. The love of the water runs deep…my grandpa and my uncle also have this deep affinity for it as well. Growing […]
I have been nominated as a 2021 Woman of the Year candidate by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! So, what exactly does that mean? Great question! The Man & Woman of the Year competition is a 10 week philanthropic challenge to raise money for blood cancer research, therapies, and treatments. That same research doesn’t just […]
Wow, it’s been a while. My last wedding update was 4 months ago and after a second lock down, venue hunting, and countless moments of feeling like I would never be able to write this post here goes: WE HAVE A NEW VENUE!!! As you may remember, our wedding and original date were cancelled back […]
I am literally sitting on my front porch, looking at the ocean as I write this post. That isn’t meant to be a braggy comment but more of a kick off to this post about how much I am in love with life in Santa Barbara. It’s been almost 2 months since the move and […]
For months all I have heard from friends and family as I expressed my ever present concern over my Fall 2021 wedding was: “Don’t worry, that’s so far away!” “Your wedding will be fine, but the poor people getting married in 2020!” “Why are you so worried? That’s so far away!” (PS, never say things […]
Dear Palm Springs, Wow, what a ride it’s been! Like any relationship we have had our ups and our fair share of downs but the good has always outweighed the bad. You have brought joy, tears, friendships, opportunity, and plenty of heat! When I moved here back in 2014 I was a young woman who […]
