B: Two weeks ago, Katherine and I set out on a quest for a great looking front porch planter (see our post here). We scoured garden stores of all over town, and assessed planters of every variety, size, and shape, until finally...we found a beautiful planter. The next step - plants! Katherine made the final decision with the planter, therefore the plant variety selection was left to me - at least mostly. We were limited to shade tolerant plant varieties because our front porch receives a mere ... View the Post

Transparency To Our Readers…

I thought it might be nice to be completely transparent in ... View the Post

Having something to look forward to, like brunch or dinner at a trendy spot, is a great way to ensure that you're experiencing something new in your city. On this particular morning, it was a perfect temperature so we ate outside and made sure to ... View the Post
Your Summer Reading List
As an English teacher, it's no surprise that I'm an avid reader and always have been. I grew up going to the library regularly and poured through books faster than I could check them out.

How To Plan A Picnic Date
K: Brandon and I have been wanting to do a picnic date for a very long time. There's something irresistible about well-thought out snacks and wine at a quiet park or green span. This adorable little basket from Pottery Barn is perfect for the occasion and I imagine we'll be getting some use out of it this summer! This is such a simple date activity for any couple during the spring and summer months. We've listed a few picnic necessities below to ensure a lovely afternoon for you and your ... View the Post
