A good friend of mine made me just over a dozen of apple pie cupcakes with a cinnamon/buttercream frosting as a "thank-you" for photographing her wedding day. When she first told me that she was making apple pie cupcakes I was intrigued. I had never heard of these type of cupcakes, but hey, I like … Continue reading Apple Pie Cupcakes

No Set Standard
I find it funny how we tend to set standards for certain points in our lives. Sixteen year olds have to get their license right away. When you graduate high school you go straight to college for four years; if not, you have to get a full-time job and move out of your parents' house. … Continue reading No Set Standard
A Promise Kept
... but aren't promises meant to be broken? No. No they are not. Promises should be kept, but sadly, many are broken. Weddings vows are promises, but divorce still happens. You say you'll visit your friend/family member next week, no, you promise to see them; something else comes up. See? It happens all the time. … Continue reading A Promise Kept
7 Reasons Why I Love Fall
We're right in the peak of autumn here in New England and even though it means the temperatures are soon to drop, I can't help but think of the reasons I love this season. 1. The colors. Living in Connecticut my entire life means that I've been exposed to the beautiful foliage that comes in … Continue reading 7 Reasons Why I Love Fall
Apples to (Caramel) Apples!
One of my favorite things about fall is that it's the season of the apple! The season we see many delicious apple treats hit the stores and bakeries in a larger quantity. Apple pies, apple tarts, apple cider, apple crunch muffins, and most importantly... Caramel Apples! I had my first ever caramel apple last year … Continue reading Apples to (Caramel) Apples!
Pre-Halloween Treat
Sometimes you have to give in to your sweet tooth, especially with Halloween right around the corner. Now I'm not a big Halloween person in general, but with all the candy in the stores, it's hard to ignore that sweet tooth. Only I wasn't craving candy this past week; I was craving a chocolate cupcake. … Continue reading Pre-Halloween Treat
Week of Weddings
Within a week two of my longtime friends got married and not only was I invited to each of the weddings, but I was asked to be the videographer of one and the photographer of the other. Mind you, this was the first time I would be either at a wedding, so I was nervous … Continue reading Week of Weddings
7 Things I Would Do With A Million Dollars
I was inspired by Young & Twenty's post 10 things I would do with a million dollars and decided to answer the question: What would you do with a million dollars? I have given some thought to this question and have come up with what I would do if I suddenly came into having one million dollars at … Continue reading 7 Things I Would Do With A Million Dollars
Reading Books vs. eBooks
As someone who grew up with the rise of technology, I find myself right in the middle of the debate of... Books vs. eBooks ... and which one do you prefer to read? That's actually a tough decision. Well, it is for me anyway. Personally, I like both seeing as both have their pros and cons, but … Continue reading Reading Books vs. eBooks
Realization
Growing up is an odd process. When you think about it, sometimes we do not realize the process as it's happening. Sure, we notice our own growing as people, both physically and mentally, since it is happening to us directly, but sometimes it just hits you that: "Oh my gosh, I'm an adult." This has been … Continue reading Realization
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans
I shouldn't have to explain what these are, but if you are unfamiliar with the Harry Potter universe, then I guess I have to. They are pretty much what they say they are: jelly beans that come in a multitude of flavors. There are tasty flavors like Cinnamon, Marshmallow, Blueberry, Tutti Frutti, Apple and Watermelon, but … Continue reading Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans
I Entered a Photo Contest
I recently entered the Amazon Student Study Style Photo Contest after seeing their announcement of it on Instagram. The contest description was to enter a photo of how you (or a friend) study and there had to be at least 1 textbook or ebook in the picture. I was intrigued right away and planned on … Continue reading I Entered a Photo Contest
Accidental Weight Loss
This might sound weird to you, but when I lost weight I lost it by accident. When I say ‘by accident’ I really just mean that I wasn’t even trying to lose weight… it just happened. Did I need to lose weight? Yes. Am I glad I lost it? Of course! So how did I … Continue reading Accidental Weight Loss
