Wedding Ideas - Happy #3

Happy Friday everyone! So, that whole thing about kids being sick the entire first year of school or daycare? NOT AN EXAGGERATION. We’re currently on virus number three in just under two months. I’m feeling like we can’t catch a break, but thankfully this round seems to be milder than the previous two. Thankfully, for […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

Happy Friday everyone! Our house is currently recovering from the cold from hell, so it has been one. rough. week. Sophie and Andrew got sick first, then it was my turn a few days later. Oh, and OF COURSE this would be the week that Sophie got her newest tooth! Way to pile it on, […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

If you've been reading Snippet & Ink for awhile, then you know that every Friday I post links to some of my favorite finds from around the web. But if you're new here (welcome!), and if you're a bride (or groom!)

Vintage-y looking pumpkins with party hats. Happy Halloween! Today I'm taking my little firefly to a party to show off her cuteness (big thanks to my mom for putting her creative costume skills to work yet again).

Well lovelies, 'tis the season... except for a few gorgeous Sunday Edition posts, we're signing off for the holidays, and will see you all again in 2014. Have a very Merry Christmas dear readers, and Happy New Year! Credits: Rejuvenation Festive holiday barn from Rejuvenation.

So maybe I wasn't able to quit Facebook entirely, but I am going to give this little experiment a try: see what happens when you stop liking things on Facebook? So far I'm enjoying leaving comments on friends' posts where before I would have just hit "Like" - usually the person writes back, and it actually ...

Oh man you guys, this was a rough week. As I mentioned last week, Sophie came down with a bug, which a few days later morphed into a double ear infection and lower chest infection. We have one sad little toddler on our hands, which has resulted in several sleepless nights and two exhausted parents.

Caroline has decided that getting more than three hours of sleep in a row isn’t her thing, so Ryan and I are a little sleep deprived these days… which might explain why I’ve started this sentence seventeen times, only to delete it, start over, and still end up with something bearing no resemblance to the [...]

Happy Friday everyone! It has been a cold and wintery week here in DC – with more snow on the way this weekend, eeek! Last winter was incredibly mild and I kind of forgot what a real winter is like. The one bonus? Sophie looks adorable in the puffy winter coat we bought for her […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

Happy Friday everyone! Did you all have a happy Halloween? Sophie was a little lion and all ready to hand out candy, but it was rainy and windy so we didn’t get as many trick or treaters as we had expected. More candy for us I guess? Anyway, I’m super excited for this weekend. I’m co-hosting […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

Happy Friday everyone. Truth is, I’m having a really hard time keeping a smile on my face these days. Despite what some on the television news might want you to think, this shutdown does affect real people. My husband and several of our close friends are among the 800,000 federal government employees furloughed until the […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

What are you lovely folks doing this weekend? We’re taking Caroline to her first Giants game, and then Sunday will be an exciting day of meal prep for the week. We’ve been living on takeout and last minute spaghetti for the past four months, and it’s starting to get old, but I realized that if [...]

Sigh. Week two of this ridiculous government shutdown. And the more I listen to the news, the angrier I get. So! Time for distractions! Last weekend, we hopped into the car for a spontaneous trip to the mountains. We were only gone for a couple of days, but it was nice to get away from […]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

Happy Friday everyone! And surprise – I’m on vacation! We took our first cross country flight with Sophie yesterday for some much needed rest in Big Bear with my side of the family. We’re hanging out here for a few days, then spending a couple more days in LA before heading back to DC. Next [...]© 2008 - 2013, Oh So Beautiful Paper

"Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that is is" - Mandy Hale I still haven't unpacked from my recent trip, the house is full of boxes of magazines, the bathroom needs a clean, my inbox is bursting, I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything I have to do...
