Activity for Orchids

Background: we're trying to arrange to have the ceremony on a tall ship. It's a nonprofit that doesn't usually do weddings, which was my first mistake. -_- We were supposed to have a contract with our venue this week, and when FH reached out today...

I dunno if anyone remembers, but a while back I was PISSED at my mom for repreatedly forgetting about my FH's food allergies and inviting us to get togethers where there was literally nothing safe for him to eat. Well, I'm thrilled to say that it...

Okayyyyy, a little backstory...when I was about 8 years old I read a book called "The Soul of the Silver Dog", which is about a Bedlington Terrier. I was enchanted with the little dog on the cover and started reading about them wherever I could find...

Soooo, we went to our local Maker Faire on Saturday and came across these cool little cards...they're about the size of a business card but 1/4 inch deep and they open like a card. The company will customize the cover and inside, and there's a tiny...

I was doing some laundry a few days ago, and I always find stuff in FH's pockets that shouldn't be washed, so I was turning out his pants pockets and found the receipt for my ring! I'm so giddy! No idea how he'll give it to me, but he had given me...

Last weekend we toured two venues, including the one that, on paper, was my favorite contender. The tour was gorgeous, I loved everything about the venue, until I asked about a vegan entree to accommodate a handful of our guests. The woman giving the...

My dad is an alcoholic PRICK. My best friend is dating my FH's brother. Last time she and my dad were in the same room, he goaded her into losing her temper and she nearly decked him. He would have deserved it. FH and I made plans to introduce our...
