WAHOOOOOO!

Last night, Paige and Robert came over for dinner and (the game) wahoo! I was very satisfied with the way dinner turned out, especially the appetizer, so I'm including the recipes. We started off with hummus and olive oil crackers all homemade. For the main course, I made a vegetable tortellini soup with salad. Very light, but filling. If you get a chance, try the olive oil crackers, they're really easy and so delicious, it's also really nice to know that you can make these at home vs. spending $5 on the alternative at the store for half the quantity.

In case anyone was wondering, Derek won the game of Wahoo! He had a slow start, but finished strong. Throughout the game he plays the innocent role but secretly thinks of himself as a sniper. Talk about your game face. It was fun!

I'm also including a few of Paige and Robert's engagement portraits taken last week, because that's what I do!

it's so much better this way.

yes. yes I did with only

20 days left.

{and tons of work to catch up on}

While we're on the subject of gifts, this is such a great alternative to buying paper gift bags.

If you really wanted to double your money/gift credibility, find an old scarf from your closet or from a thrift, etsy, poppytalk shop and the recipient can also wear your beautiful gift wrapping! (scarf, belt, bag, oh my!)

ps. here is the link to my brand new etsy shop. So far only one item...so eat your heart out on this limited supply of goodness.  How's my sales pitch? {just kidding}
