2 sizes, 2 cities, 2 girls trying to dress ourselves—preferably in matching outfits
Between the two of us, we have been to three bachelorette parties in Austin. Add on countless weekend trips, and the fact that Kat went to school just north of this weird city, we will consider ourselves two Having Fun In Austin pros. Here's a Bachelorette Party that we planned, loosely based off the bachelorettes [...]
When temperatures start to dip, I always find myself reaching into my fiancé's closet for some oversized pieces to keep me cozy. As I was making my list of wardrobe gaps to fill for the upcoming season, I realized a lot I could find a lot of what I wanted much more easily (and cheaper!) [...]
Kathryn / We've all been doing our best to stay home and social distance for many months now, and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon. While that might be a reason to don your sweatpants or stay in your pajamas all day (I know it is for me about 70% [...]
So Don't Waste Your Time Or Money on Them! Reading through Kathryn's Good, Bad, and Ugly series about her wedding got me thinking about the things that weren't necessarily good or bad, but just meh. Things that were totally fine, but that no one really seemed to care about. Since I'm in the midst of [...]
It's been two years since Kathryn and Joe got engaged, I can't believe how quickly time has flown by! In honor of that anniversary, we thought we'd share her engagement story in its entirety. You may have caught bits and pieces of it over in my post about designing her ring, but it there were [...]

As a vegetarian, I eat a lot of Tex-Mex because it is super easy to remove or sub the meat and still have a tasty and filling meal. In Kat's last post she shared her recipe for stuffed peppers, and I thought I'd add my own tried-and-true lazy girl's Tex-Mex recipe to go along with [...]
Do you have picky eaters, a dwindling supply of ingredients, and a desire to avoid cooking as much as possible? I have a solution for you: stuffed bell peppers. This is one of my favorite ways to minimize my cooking time and maximize my leftovers for us to either eat all week or freeze for [...]
My wedding was wonderful, but it was far from perfect. In fact, there was a horrifying incident during the reception that I talked about in the "ugly" part of this blog series. Despite the imperfections, I still have the best memories of the day, simply because I got to marry my husband, Joe, surrounded by [...]
Sometimes it feels frivolous, even pointless to try to plan a wedding during a pandemic. I wonder if our jobs will still be stable enough to afford it, if venues and vendors will be able to financially weather the storm, if my family and friends will even be able to gather together in the same [...]
