Infusion

I've been on an infusion kick lately...thank you pinterest! So far i've made infused blueberry and raspberry vodka. Yesterday I began the process of making limoncello...its quite a lengthy process! I'm hoping the end result is good!

Our Garden

I knew one of the first big projects I wanted to do when we moved to our house was to put in a vegetable garden. We are lucky that my brother and sister in law are now living in town and led the way on our massive garden! What I thought would be a morning project turned into an all day, hard labor work to dig up our garden from scratch. Last night we finished up by planting all the vegetables. I think we were a little over ambitious and may have to open a tomato stand at the end of our driveway this summer! I will be sure to post more pictures as our garden grows!
Not looking like much now

Little did we know how much work this would be...

Starting to make some progress

Let the digging begin

Finally all dug up!! 

Ready to plant some vegetables...even Mama came to help!

We have a garden!!

Now what do we do?!

Field of Dreams



This past weekend we headed to Huntington Park (the triple A baseball park in Columbus) for the field of dreams game. A guy from Columbus won a contest where he got to form a team of friends to play against baseball legends. We had a lot of fun!

House updates

It's been awhile since I've posted some house pictures. Things are great here and it's really starting to come together! There are still many projects to be done, but it's looking more like a home. This past weekend my Mom came to visit and we FINALLY tore down that hidious border in the dining room! It's amazing how much different the room looks now! We also rearranged and cleaned up the sun room which has become my favorite room in the house!
It's like a whole new room!!

Our dining room table built by Travis himself!

How did this cute spoiled puppy get in this post?! 

Easter Traditions

Every Good Friday it is tradition to make Easter Bread with my Uncle John and crew. This is one of my favorite family traditions! I was lucky enough to be able to spend a few days in Cleveland with my family. This year was slightly different as we were able to make it in Pretzalicious' commercial kitchen instead of at my parents house. This helped the process of making 54+ loaves of bread a little quicker! It was a great time and after many a few bottles of champagne later the process was complete!

Our Honeymoon

Travis and I finally got to take our much anticipated honeymoon!! After a lot of arguments discussions we came to the conclusion to go to Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay! I couldn't have pictured a more perfect place to honeymoon! We had researched lots of places and this seemed like the best fit for us...and we were right! The views, food, excursions, people, accommodations were all outstanding! It was also a few of first for Travis and I...first time flying together and first time traveling (for more then a weekend) just the two of us. Some highlights of our trips included ziplining in the mountains, snorkeling in the bay, and going to a jamaican cooking class. Needless to say we will definitely be back!!
