Some random Tuesday thoughts of things that I’m grateful for and things that make me happy:

1) My marriage
2) Though Nic travels weekly, that our communication is strong
3) Warm sheets that are straight out of the dryer
4) Sushi on Sunday
5) All the good people in the world
6) Seeing passion in people’s eyes
7) Giving back
8) Lunch box notes
9) Family and friends
10) Replaying memories

Life is a gift, and it’s important to stop once in awhile and remind yourself of the things your grateful for, who you’re grateful for, and the things that make you happy.

What makes you happy? What are you thankful for? ❤️

We had an amazing getaway this weekend up north. Light snow showers, cozy fireplace, wine, and time with family. ❤️ My mom already got some Christmas decorations out, and I gotta say, I’m all for it.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a Christmas fanatic. Every bit of the holidays gets me so excited.

Tonight, Nic and I are going to slowly start decorating our home with Christmas decorations, and I am PUMPED. It’ll make watching those hallmark Christmas this week that much more special.

Who else out there is a huge Christmas fan?! 🎄❄️

Let me tell ya - I loved every bit of our wedding. Every single detail, every single thing. We had our Ukrainian traditions, and we also had our Maui charm. One thing I especially loved were these handmade signs. My sister-in-law made them for our wedding, and I gotta say, there is just something extra special about handmade items. So personal with a story behind every word. And that’s how we love living life, enjoying every little detail and remembering all the stories in between. ❤️

One my all time favorite photos that Nic took in Maui last year! It’s turtle-y awesome, right? 😆 We love living in the Midwest, but I’d be lying if I said we didn’t think about Maui all the time. 👌🏻 What place do you think of all the time? 👇🏻

Practicing our dance during sunset before dancing for all our loved ones who came to celebrate our love. ❤️ Our song, of course, was Coeur D’Alene by @theheadandtheheart - our favorite band since the beginning.

This wedding bliss is beautiful, and we’re never letting it go away.

Newlyweds forever.

This picture cracks 👏🏻 me 👏🏻 up.

As my mom and cousin were helping me get ready before our first look, we looked out the window and saw Nic and his best man Joe eating in the car in front of the house. Nic looked SO cute in his suit while eating his snack. We all couldn’t help but look out the window and laugh until we were in tears. I remember thinking “I cannot wait to marry this man.” Gah. Best day. Best husband. Best family. Best friends.

Forever a newlywed.

🚨 Natural, aluminum free, cruelty free, non-GMO deodorant alert🚨

Lately, I’ve become huge about reading what is in the products and food we are using and eating. Aluminum in deodorant is one thing I’ve researched, and when I read about its effects, I threw out any deodorant I had that had it. That’s why when @influenster sent me @nubianheritage Coconut & Papaya 24 Hour Natural Deodorant to review... I was ECSTATIC.

I’ve used it, tested it, tried it... and I love it. It smells amazing, stays on all day, and best of all, has ingredients I can stand behind.

If you’re looking for a new deodorant to try, I highly recommend this one! 👏🏻
