Let's talk about balance. It's something that's been on my mind a lot lately! This past year has really opened my eyes to SO many things, especially how important it is to be aware of the things we put on and inside our bodies. I have always LOVED snacks and snacking especially when I'm snuggled up to read a good book (my favorite was goldfish mi[...]
It has been getting so much warmer these past few days and it's making me SO HAPPY. I've been thankful for the more mild winter we've had here in Utah, but that doesn't mean I'm not ready for spring because I totally am! I realized the other day that I haven't ever had a warm winter-- I've either been in northern Utah or Norway and even the[...]
Can you believe Jared and I have been married for a whole year??? So crazy! It feels like it's been both the shortest and longest year of my life haha It feels like ages ago that we were with all our closest family and friends celebrating in Philadelphia-- take me back! To celebrate our very first anniversary, we decided to spend the weeke[...]
It's no secret that I am OBSESSED with all things feminine and bows are pretty close to the top of my list! It can be hard to find ribbons and bows that are unique, which is why I love this one so much. It's a beautiful, deep blue and is wide enough to make a statement-- the best of both worlds! xoxo Madeline[...]
Jared surprised me for Christmas with the most darling dress from Mango! Ohhhh! I love it soo much -- puffy sleeves and a ruffly skirt! Its soo fun to wear! The textured fabric with threads of pink, burgundy, lavender and cream is such a fun mix! I decided to pair it with an older ZARA bag I had and then swap the strap for one I borrow from my mom.&nb[...]
Is there anything better than reconnecting with an old friend you haven't seen in a long time?? I don't think so. I love and live for these reunions! I'm not always the best at staying in touch with people and making efforts to get together, but that's one of my goals for this year! It is always so insightful to hear othe[...]
I love yoga SO MUCH. The best feeling in the world to me is stretching out my body by doing some yoga in the afternoon sun after a long day of school and work-- it's the best!! There is something about slowing down and taking a moment to reconnect with myself and check in to see how I'm doing. Its so easy for me to get caught up in the bus[...]
I kind of love pink and gold everything right now! I found this fabric in my moms bin of vintage fabrics and knew I had to do a shoot with this vintage vibe. I love how the images turned out! The colors are so vibrant and fun and feels vintage with a modern touch -- not to mention I was a having a really good hair day! haha! My pink top I found on th[...]
I especially love traditions at Christmas time. Jared and I spent part of Christmas with my family and we started a tradition by having a Bethlehem dinner the Sunday before Christmas as a way to slow down and think about the Savior a little more. I helped my mom and aunt plan, cook and set up our dinner. My dad made a candle holder of 42 candles[...]
I love Christmas! And this was Jared and I's first Christmas together -- just him and I in our new apartment. I loved the theme of our Christmas decorations -- some Scandinavian treasures that I found at local boutiques and a few I brought home from Norway. I wanted to do an intimate little Christmas with another couple before Christmas and I wa[...]
