Last week was all about shoes when of the two pairs I packed, one was not weather appropriate and the other fell apart as I was wearing them in Paris. Thank you H&M Paris for having a cute reasonably priced sandal! :-)

Establishing a Blogging Schedule

{source}

Behind the scenes over here, I have been working on developing a blog post schedule. Initially I thought about blogging on specific subjects on specific days. The problem with this is that my interests vary wildly depending on my mood. I want to deliver original, insightful content and if Tuesdays were limited to only cooking but I hadn't felt like cooking that week, then my content would suffer.

Purchase History: Week of June 10

I had fun doing some sales tax-free shopping in NH last week. Most of what I got were from little indie boutiques in Rockport. But I really love this skirt that will be going to Latvia with me :)

Ankle Pants Refashion

Since we will be delegates of the Special Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses while we are in Latvia, we have to follow certain guidelines for our dress and grooming. One of these is that we cannot wear blue jeans while in the convention city. Since I've lost a lot of weight, I didn't have any non-denim pants. As the budget savvy gal I am, I went hunting for some cheap pairs.

How I'm Trying Not To Gain Weight on Vacation

from Mike's Pastry in Boston - I am eating this!

Before heading out of town, I was hovering right at 10 pounds from my goal. I am so proud of my progress, but with our summer of travel, I'm nervous about keeping it off.

Since a large portion of our vacation revolves around food, I don't want to feel deprived by tracking everything I eat and then feel guilty if I eat something fattening. But I also don't want to undo any of the hard work I've done for the last year.

Purchase History: May 2013

May was all about shopping for my Art collect, buying smaller sized clothes, and picking up some last minute things for our trip (like my first pair of new PJs in 3 years). I also bought a little journal that might change how I do these posts from here on out. It has be list my purchases by week and the sketch them too... it's pretty fun and I'll see how it goes :)

If Our Wedding Was in 2013?

Since our Anniversary was last week, I have been thinking about our wedding a lot. Thinking back to that day, I love how our wedding turned out. Everything came together exactly how I envisioned and I really loved all the details! For the budget we had, our circumstances, and the things I loved then, our wedding was exactly how I dreamed it to be.

But it's always fun to wonder if I would do it differently if I was getting married now instead of 3 years ago. So I collected some of the wedding ideas I've found since ours and decided to show y'all what kind of wedding I would have in 2013 (if money was no object)...
