I wasn’t the type of girl who pre-planned my wedding day. I wasn’t sure what kind of dress I wanted or where it would be. Those details never really mattered to me. I dreamed about my prince charming and my family around me. When Ian asked for my hand in marriage I didn’t have a lot of opinions. I knew I… View Post
On Ian and I’s first summer trip to my family farm, I walked outside to pick some apples. I then came inside to make him an apple pie. Ian’s jaw dropped. He was so impressed. My little secret was that Apple Pie can actually be a quick and simple treat to bake. It is one of my favorite things to bring to… View Post
Our Mia has finally reached the age, where 9 weeks at home over the summer may be a little too boring.

Yesterday we were invited to CBS news KCAL 9 to talk about the launch of our blog! I was so nervous. It was my first time on live TV! Ian being a pro made me feel so comfortable, as did the crew! Check our clip out here!
