You would think that someone who works in the wedding industry would have their entire wedding planned out. Not the case with this girl. Now I do have a secret Pinterest board full of wedding ideas (I mean what Pinterest-addicted woman doesn’t have a board full of wedding dresses, updos, and table stylings?) ,  but […]

I don’t care what the calendar says, summer has officially arrived in Raleigh, NC.  I’m ready for day trips to the beach, lounging out my the pool, and paddle boating in Pullen Park.

Ever since I visited Baked and Wired in D.C., I’ve been infatuated with dulce de leche. There’s this super delicious cupcake called The Tessita – it’s a vanilla cake, with dulce de leche filling and a chocolate-hazelnut frosting.
