This week was one that I thought would be super chill, and I even believed I would have time to get ahead on some blog posts. I was mistaken lol. The first half of this week was easy breezy, but yesterday was a not so good day to be honest. I honestly was somewhat struggling to think of 5 weekly notables, but I know I’d be more satisfied with my week if I shared some of it with y’all. Thank you for being here to read and be a part of my creative outlet, whether my day has been good or bad.

Valentine’s Day is only a few weeks away, so I wanted to share some gifts ideas with y’all! I made sure to share a variety of pieces at a variety of price points – all perfect for your Valentine or Galentine 😉

This is my very first time doing a collage-style gift guide post, so let me know if you like it or not! Also, be sure to subscribe to my email list to be in-the-know when I post new gift guides, and follow me on Instagram because I have some great Valentine’s Day giveaways coming up!

Last time I talked to y’all about Grant and I’s wedding, we were prepping for our first meeting at Franck’s (the wedding studio at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion/The Grand Floridian). Well that meeting has come and gone, and we made some great progress during it.

Things are far from being set in stone, but I still wanted to share what venues we toured with y’all! All of our current thoughts on what we think we will choose are going to stay private for the time being. But as we move down the timeline, I’ll open up and share more with y’all. I included some pictures of the venues for some reference, but they aren’t the best so bear with me!

This week has been a crazy one, y’all! I felt like I had zero time to just take a minute and chill. Honestly, I barely had time to write this blog post in time for the weekend lol. But next week things will finally slow down and I’m excited to be able to take some time to do things that aren’t work or school related.

Not gonna lie, this post is long overdue since it’s now been over a month since our trip. Regardless, I wanted to share it all with you! If you didn’t know, I’m originally from Pittsburgh, PA which is about as far west as it gets in terms of larger cities in PA.

When we visited for Christmas, we had planned a weekend trip out to the eastern part of the state, more specifically Hershey and Amish Country. We had a lot of activities jam packed into the weekend, but we had a ton of fun! Just a heads up that these are all unedited iPhone photos, so don’t expect the best lighting or photography skills lol.
