I met the love of my life in a lab, and on 08.28.09 I stood in a garden on the banks of the Susquehanna River and said “I do” to the man of my dreams.
I’ve been blogging since early 2007, but now that I’m a wifey, I decided my blog needed a new home — and a new theme.
Now I have a husband to share my appreciation for rustic simplicity, my affinity for red KitchenAid appliances, my taste for microbrews, and my devotion to Penn State football.
Join me as I navigate newlywed life while cooking, crafting, and exercising my creativity.

so glad i came across your blog! i absolutely love it and cannot wait to read more!
you and i are leading similar lives right now, and it’s great to read blogs i can really relate to

Nice to meet you, Emily! Thanks for stopping by!
