“United Parenting”…there are many parenting myths that float around a new couple like a bothersome swarm of flies. And like most parenting myths, I encourage you to swat them at the nearest opportunity. This particular one is called “united parenting”. The story around this myth goes something like this: for a couple to be successful […]
By all accounts, Josh and I are an unlikely couple. We don’t share the same tastes, interests, or hobbies, and other than the fundamental practices of eating and working out there are very few things that we both enjoy! But perhaps because of – rather than in spite of – our very different preferences and […]
Naturally when we hear “Destination Wedding”, we immediately think of white sand beaches, sun, cocktails, and All-Inclusive resorts. They are certainly the “Go-to” for combining the wedding and the honeymoon together. However there are several, more unique options to consider, especially when it comes to honeymoons!

When I was a little girl & into my preteen years I (like many girls out there) dreamed of when & who I’d get married to. In my mind 20 was a good marrying age, little did I know that I’d have my prayers answered. Not quite seven months after graduating high school I’d meet […]

From the very first moment he saw me, he fell in love. He remembered me from lives past. The first words he spoke to me were “You have my Favourite Face.” He caught my attention with his alluring eyes, but it was his hug that drew me in. When my heart edged in closer to […]
Honesty, integrity, beauty, modesty, this list could go on and on. I don’t want to pump her tires too much but Brittanie Bates is genuinely one of the greatest additions you could ever imagine having in your life. She doesn’t know her full potential which makes sense as its entirely infinite. She will also punch you in […]
I fight with my husband. “We’re just on the same page” is a phrase we would always say when we started dating. I was 20 and Andrew 22. We were smitten. I loved him because how he made me feel. I felt special, adored, respected, spoiled, taken care of and encouraged. From an outsider things […]

This post is a bit different from my other posts. For one thing, this post is about my wedding planning while being part of the wedding industry for the past ten years as a photographer and not about my experiences solely on the job. I was an actual bride! When Todd (my husband) gave me […]

How-To… …Share Your Wedding Recycle listings on Social Media I would be embarrassed to tell you how much time I spend online during the day (I tell my husband I’m busy building my empire but mostly I’m just on Facebook 🙂 ). Can you relate? But it’s for a good cause…virtually all my world information, […]

What I do know however, is that Wedding-Recycle has […]
Who’s hand do you want to be holding? It started with a cheesy move and a simple number on a piece of paper. Now here we are 10 years of marriage and three kids later. Older, greyer and definitely with bigger bags under our eyes. We didn’t know that our life would end up like […]

And with the blink of an eye.. today I woke up with 3 beautiful kids and an amazing wife (the waitress). Looking back we like to talk about our love and all […]
Well, it’s been a year. We made it through our first year of marriage…longer than some celebrities. And it’s been a fun year, challenging at times, but fun. We have grown as a couple and we learned as a couple. And I will be the first to say that it has not been all rainbows […]
