Wedding Ideas - Happy

September is my big milestone month. Yesterday I celebrated my 32nd birthday. Sophie’s first birthday (!!!) is a week from today. On Sunday, Oh So Beautiful Paper will celebrate its 5th anniversary. Oh, and while I’m at it, Andrew and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in May and I celebrated 3 years of self-employment in [...]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

Did you have a fun Halloween? We dressed Caroline up as a little duck (if you click through you’ll see me in my ninja outfit/blogger uniform) and showed her off to the neighbors – she was a really good sport about it! This weekend we’re going to a Diwali party, and I’m also hoping to do [...]

Happy August everyone! July flew by especially fast thanks to our trip to California and I’m having a hard time accepting that we’re more than halfway through summer! Luckily, August is my favorite month in DC – the college students are all back home and Congress is on recess, making the next few weeks the perfect [...]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

What are you all up to this weekend? Ryan’s parents are here for a visit and we’re celebrating his dad’s birthday on Saturday, then Sunday we’re taking Caroline to the pumpkin patch followed by lunch at the Petaluma Pie Company. I’m also hoping I can convince Ryan’s mom to watch little girl for a bit [...]

Well, Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so its time to think about what we’re all thankful for!  I’m so grateful to you dear readers, for checking in every day to see whats happening in the world of weddings, to my fabulous contributors, and of course, my sweet family and friends. And for those of you planning on […]

Happy Friday everyone! Do you all have fun plans for this beautiful fall weekend? We’re heading to upstate New York to visit my husband’s family for a few pre-Halloween festivities. It’s a long drive, but I know Sophie will be happy to see her grandparents and cousins! I’m heading out to make our final preparations […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

It’s starting to feel like fall here, windy and cooling down a bit. Last year I started making my own applesauce, and I think the weather is just right to make up a batch this weekend. Served warm with a dollop of crème fraîche… it’s totally appropriate for breakfast, but tastes like dessert! We’re also [...]

I haven’t been to the farmers market since Caroline was born, which means I’ve missed an entire summer’s worth of incredible fruits and vegetables. And after having some of the best peach pie of my life last weekend, I’m thinking I need to remedy this situation pronto. So that’s my big plan for the weekend… [...]

Halloween is just around the corner! My mom made all of my Halloween costumes when I was a kid, and she’s generously offered (okay, I may have badgered her a little) to make Caroline’s first Halloween costume. You’d think we would have figured this out already, but we’re still trying to decide what to dress [...]

Tomorrow we’re flying to Wisconsin to spend Thanksgiving week with Ryan’s family – fingers crossed the plane ride with Caroline goes as smoothly as possible! Any tips for flying with a 6 month old? I’m also hoping to contribute a pie to Thanksgiving dinner, something seasonal but not obvious, but the truth is that I’m [...]

Happy Friday everyone! I’ve been working like crazy the last couple of weeks, so I’m feeling a bit worn out today. When life gets hectic, I find myself craving simplicity – an evening walk to the park, gelato from my favorite spot in Eastern Market, or just a quiet night at home. So right now [...]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

This weekend we’re headed to Colorado for a friend’s wedding this weekend, and my little sister’s wedding next weekend – can you say rain plan? Yikes! If any of you are Colorado brides tying the knot in the very near future, may I direct you to this post? It’s an excellent example of how far [...]

Happy Friday everyone! It’s always busy the first week back after a holiday weekend, and this week was no exception! I’m busy preparing for a big project this weekend, which I’m excited to share with all of you soon! Andy and I also went over to meet the most adorable two-week old baby – who also […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

What a week! In fact, it has been quite a busy summer – and between moving to a new house, trying to get settled, chasing after an energetic baby, and running a business I’ve felt like I haven’t had a moment to catch my breath in months. So I’m starting a new tradition for Oh [...]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper
