Picture this: I am sitting at my computer desk, with sleep-hair piled on top of my head. I am wearing leopard print pajama pants and a frown. It’s a rainy morning, my oatmeal has gotten cold and I am back in the United States. Truth be told, I have been back state-side for exactly a … Continue reading

Tokyo (Full) Day One!
Konbanwa! It’s in the early evening here in Tokyo and Napkin and I have made it back to our hotel room after spending the day in Shibuya.

A while ago, I blogged about gifts for my bridesmaids and how I found a lot of really fantastic deals on Ebay and beautifully handmade things on Etsy. Everything has since arrived safe and sound and so I’ve shifted my efforts to all … Continue reading
HERE’S OUR REGISTRY! Also, Registry Etiquette.
It’s currently 1:30 in the morning and I am nursing some incredibly puffy eyes and cursing that early morning appointment I made for tomorrow. So before my grump-self waddles off to bed I decided to update this and share it with you: Our Traveler’s Joy Registry As you know now by all of … Continue reading
I CANT KEEP IT A SECRET ANY LONGER!
