anniversary, blog, friends, year

birthday cake

Can you believe it?? One year! One year since we started this ol’ blog here. It’s crazy how fast time flies.

We started this blog as a way for us to feel closer when we were oh-so far apart (Richmond <–> KC). We also wanted an outlet to share our love of all things pretty, unique, and fun. This blog has given us all of those things and then some! We look so forward to posting every day and sharing with you all what makes us smile.

The year went by fast but so many amazing things happened in the year:

1. Erin and Matt loaded up the Uhaul and moved to Ohio!

2. Natalie and Tad decided forever would be pretty dang cool and got engaged!

3. Erin and Matt bought a house.

4. Natalie and Tad moved in to a new house.

5. Erin shared her closet and some of her current obsessions on some amazing blogs.

6. Natalie shared some of her recipes and pictures on Tastespotting.

7. We took a trip to the Virgin Islands and had a family vacay in Vegas.

8. We had approximately 5,124 Skype dates that involved wine and lots of laughs.

9. We got a snazzy new name and a snazzy new look for the blog.

10. Last but not least, we gained some awesome new blogging friends.

To mark this special occasion, we thought we’d give away to one lucky reader a fabulous collection of some of our favorite things! Washi tape and Le Pens? Heck yes! Click on the link below to enter the giveaway!

One year giveaway

// Kikkerland Paper Straws // Le Pens – set of 2 // Tweezerman Emory Boards // Mor Macaron Lip Gloss // Chronicle Books Notecards- set of 16 // Scotch Washi Tape // Gold Foil Polka Dot Notebook // Essie Nail Polish in Sunday Funday //

Thank you, dear readers, for stopping by each day. It means the world to us.

It’s been a fabulous year… Won’t you join us for another?

Erin and Natalie

P.s. Good luck! Winner of the giveaway will be announced next Friday! 🙂

Beginning around Christmas time, my friends and I started something we like to call our favorites gift exchange. We have also made it into a challenge. Each month or so we pick a theme, an amount of money per gift, and a day we can all get together.

So, for example, this month the challenge was a $5 favorite item for the kitchen. There are 6 of us, so you have to buy 5 of the same $5 item(s). Then, when the exchange is over, you have all your friends’ favorite items!

Once I move, we are going to turn it into a pen pal thing!!

This is (when you crunch the numbers) a way cheaper option than going out and buying gifts for every occasion. Plus, it is SO fun!!

Happy Wednesday!
Erin

camping, Fall, friends, Virginia

This past weekend we headed to Tyro, Virginia to go camping. It’s about 2 hours from Richmond, but it’s worth the trip because it means you are camping right in the mountains.

This wedding was in Smyrna, Georgia and there I witnessed two of the best people getting married. So much detail went into this wedding and it was a blast from start to finish.

This past Labor Day weekend Matt and I headed up to the Arlington area to visit some college friends.

We ended up at a Purdue friendly bar called Bottom Line. It was so great reuniting with people who all share a love of all things Purdue!

On Sunday we headed to Georgetown for lunch and a little shopping…
