I’m Married! I know that every bride says this, but it was really, truly, absolutely, positively the best day of my life. And I can’t imagine that it could have gone any more smoothly. As far as I’m aware, there weren’t any mishaps or problems – and if there were, then my family did an amazing […]

Living Your Dreams & Millennial Entitlement
There has been so much written lately about living/following your dreams, “turning your passion into a career,” etc. Seriously – this morning alone I’ve read articles on three separate sites [1, 2, 3] on the topic – all aimed, seemingly, at the millennial entrepreneur. And so, I felt a bit inspired. After all – I’m writing again. […]
Courtney Takes New York
Remember that trip to New York I had to take for work, the one I was scared out of my mind of? Well, I did it! In the spirit of always being 100% honest here, I’m going to say that it was not easy. In fact, it’s was really, really hard. I took more Xanax in […]
The British Invasion
Today’s been a weird day, to say the least. I woke up snug as a bug in my apartment only to be reminded that my fiance would be leaving to go visit some friends in Maine. And then I remembered that my parents are out of town, as is one of my sisters, and my […]
Okay, so I’m an anxious mess…
Here’s a fun (?) fact about me… I have anxiety. Like really, really, really bad anxiety. It’s not something I generally like to talk about, but it’s something that I can’t really avoid talking about – or at least acknowledging in some way. Right now, my life is busier than ever. I’m working full-time at a new […]
RIP Robin Williams
It’s a sad, sad day. Robin Williams was found dead in his home of an apparent suicide. This is one of those times when I’m shocked by how sad I can be about the passing of a person I’ve never met, and who has no idea that I even exist. This is also a time […]
Wedding Wednesday | Rhode Island Monthly’s ‘Engaged’
It’s [very late on] Wedding Wednesday, but I just wanted to take a moment to share some news with you. A whiiiile back (sometime in April, I think) I signed on to blog for Rhode Island Monthly’s Engaged magazine – their annual wedding special issue. Basically, roughly once per week I’m blogging all things wedding […]
I’m Lusting After… High-Low Dresses
Call me late to the party, but I’ve recently become obsessed with high-low dresses. I love that they’re as effortless as a maxi dress, while still adding a bit of glam and chicness to an ensemble. Dress them up with a pair of high heeled, strappy sandals, and some bling, or keep it casual with […]
RIP Grama
{Editor’s Note: For those of you who don’t know, my dad’s mother – my Grama – passed away on July 13, 2014. She had been battling cancer for a few years, and unfortunately she lost that fight. On Sunday, July 20 I gave the eulogy at her funeral service. Below is the eulogy in its […]
Sometimes Things…
{… I apologize in advance for this post. It’s kind of just a bit of a pity party, but it’s one of the benefits of owning your own little piece of the Internet.} Sometimes things are weird. Life has this funny way of knocking you down and building you right back up again. Honestly, […]
