Our first wedding anniversary is on Monday! I just cannot believe that this year has passed by so quickly. Here is a list of things I’ve learned this past year in no certain order. Marriage Don’t talk to anyone about an argument until it hits the twenty-four hour mark. I used to call up my family/friends …
I had not seen him for twelve weeks. A year ago today, I was speeding my way to the Omaha airport to pick up my fiancé. Our wedding was four short days away. We weren’t cutting it close at all. When we had set the date for our wedding, eleven months earlier, we decided that …
It’s been a full week over here at the Lotulelei hacienda! Here are a few thoughts about this past week… 1). Don’t take air conditioning for granted. Since hubby started his summer job a few weeks ago, we have been putting the extra money towards things that have needed attention for a long time. Last week I shared …

After eleven months of marriage I feel like I am finally starting to pull my life together, and figure out this post-college, married woman life. I cast about for a few months after I finished classes in December, and took a few months where I did a whole lot of nothing (besides working, that is). …
This past weekend, hubs and I took a weekend away. We were house sitting for my parents while they were on a trip. We were, in fact, not only house sitting, but also pig sitting, puppy sitting, chicken/duck/goose/chick sitting, and plant sitting.

Last year, when I was wedding planning, I experienced the strangest nightmares. On some nights, I would dream that my wedding dress was bright blue, and I would sob into the blueberry-colored tulle. On other nights, the wedding would have started already and my Mom and I would be making trip after trip to hurriedly …

Two years ago I typed out my first post on Dandelion Pie. Originally, I had planned on naming my blog Dandelion Champagne, because I loved the idea of taking something that many saw as worthless (dandelions = weeds) and transforming it into a bubbly, sparkly treat. I had never really imbibed champagne, but I was …

I used to be good at saving money. In high school, I worked jobs simply because I enjoyed getting to know people, and I socked away every penny I earned. My parents provided for me, I wasn’t really into any hobbies that required much money, and so I just saved incessantly. I was good at saving. …
