Little's blind date test


One of my favorite photos of one of my favorite littles, my niece Madelyn.



As a little girl, I never dreamt about my wedding like others did. No visions of puffy white dresses, bright flowers, or a tall cake. I did, however, scribble names in the margins of my notebook paper. I would imagine what I would, one day, name my little girl or boy.

Now that I have found my prince charming, discussions of babies in the future make me want to start scribbling names again. With a wealth of family names, unique names, and old names, there are just SO many to pick from. Thankfully we have quite a while before we have to. But when the time comes, I will most definitely try out the blind date test Joanna Goddard shared on A Cup of Jo.

If you're in the market for a baby name, try it out. You never know how it may impact your little one day. ; )




Pretty Little Netflix





This is horrible to admit. I have a new guilty pleasure: Pretty Little Liars. In a desperate Netflix search it seemed like the only option. Now I'm hooked on the high school drama of this secret driven show. Who is "A"? Why do I care?

What is your guilty pleasure?

Just a few more

Here are some more photos from the last days of our trip as well as some personal favorites. 


Venice, questioning how everything just doesn't sink.


About every two minutes, you'd walk across a view like this. Beautiful.


 Our view from dinner...


...and the hotel room.


Cooling off in the grand canal. I'm unsure of the sanitary wellbeing of this body of water, but we weren't the only ones beating the heat this way.


 Another view of the grand canal.


Do you like my new look?


For men too.


An evening bike ride through town!


The love lock bridge in Paris. Lovers initial a lock and fasten it to this bridge to signify the strength of their bond.

Thanks for letting me share our trip with you. :)
