2 years and 7 months

Two years and seven months! Has it really been that long since my last post?! It seems like only yesterday I was wondering what my next step would be after leaving my job, but still living in NYC, which I wasn't really sure I loved anymore. The possibilities were endless, but I actually felt really stuck. Then life took off, and I'm only now catching up! If I were really technically savvy, I would insert one of those "2.5 years in 60 seconds" videos that are constantly headlining on YouTube, or for the funniest version I just came across....



So true isn't it. A ton of experiences may happen in a year, but to those not so attune your life, it would appear that nothing much has happened at all. Listen, I may look the same but am sooo enlightened on the inside y'all, seriously (not seriously).

But really a lot has happened. It is all apparent as I sit typing this out, in my kitchen in Ireland, while my little man Milo has just woken up from his much needed nap. A baby, a move, a new job and 8 months of Mat. leave in 2.5 years, and like I'm sure many people can relate to, most of the time has seemed like mundane day to day moments,  with a few of the best times in my life mixed in. I figured if I didn't sit back down and start documenting, I wouldn't remember them at all, or I wouldn't notice and appreciate how many good things occur on a day to day basis. I have journals, I have baby books, but it seems like blogging really is the best way to capture the days, moments and occasions; or even a really nice cup of tea that I just had, that makes a rainy day not so bad.

I'll get there. As the last 3 months of my leave begin, I've made a pact to try and post most days and really soak up the rest of the Irish summer and precious moments with my baby boy. I've wasted a lot of time trying to make my blog "be something," instead of just letting it be what it needs to be - which is what's important and what's real. So I'll be back soon. But for now life is calling.

Labor of Love


Our wedding party and us on Howth pier by the incredibly talented Christina Brosnan of Brosnan Photographic

After quite a lengthy hiatus, I am happy to say that I am back and blogging. From May- June things went just a wee bit crazy. Our Ireland Wedding date was fast approaching and I was a bridal mess with to many "to-do's" to check off the list and too little time. So sadly my blog became temporary wedding roadkill. The upside to this is not only did our hard work pay off tenfold, but I emerged with many different experiences and lessons in the world of event planning and DIY (aside from an amazing husband, two of the best extended families imaginable and an EPIC, HUGELY EPIC dance party! Of course!). It is a rare situation when all your scatterbrained ideas pull together in the exact way it played out in your head, if not better..(well, maybe not that rare, but definitely rewarding) and you get to share something truly magical with the people you love. I can't wait to post some of the highlights of the wedding over the next few days..and then dive into the realm of what follows "Happily Ever After." I'm not sure what that may be exactly but I'm excited for all the projects, possibilities and WEDDINGS (finally not mine! ha!) in the future. xx
