It’s sort of fitting, however. I feel like we’ve passed the initial excitement of being freshly married, the tumultuous first years of getting into a groove, and even the “seven year itch!” We’re settling into a cozy, quieter type of love. The kind where you feel safe with the other person, and supported no matter what crazy ideas you may have. The type of love where you’re secure in the feeling that the other person is in it for the long haul…truly through sickness and in health, good times and in bad… in joy, as well as in sorrow. The kind of love where you are content and happy just having a peaceful date night at home {as long as there’s a happy ending involved… whether it’s ice cream or the steamier kind}!

Picnic Favorites

  

 

 

We completely *love* picnics {my husby actually proposed to me during one on the cliffs of Laguna Beach}! They’re perfect for an afternoon of much needed family-time or a date with your special someone!

We searched high & low for the best quality products that are also lovely to gaze at! These eight made it onto our “Picnic Favorites!” If you’re not shopping for yourself, any one of these would also make a charming hostess gift, or summer wedding present!  [Read more…]
