no. 1 | a life sprinkled in pink |

i'm allison. 

 & our corner of the world is sprinkled in pink.
our kitchen is pink. 
our thrifted, mismatched chairs have been spray painted pink.
our dinnerware is pink. 
our white cat, ellie's, nose is pink.
there are sprinkles of pink everywhere. i mean everywhurr.
 

for the longest time, i have dreamed of living in a pink cottage.
with pink shutters & a wrap around porch.
don't worry, i mention this to tyler almost daily. he's well aware. ;)
every time we pass a pink house i point it out. & kindly remind him "that's seriously my dream house!"

i dream of a porch filled with pretty plants, tea cups planted with succulents, & pink peonies. 

mason jars filled with sweet tea, mugs filled with coffee.
a couple of rocking chairs for porch sitting.

& probably a vintage, schwinn bike posted up against the railing.
the whole shebang.
 

to me...life is full of pink. & when it's not...i find the pink.

our dinner is made in your grandma's pink vintage pyrex dishes.
we have pink quilts laying around the house to cuddle up under when our little town-home gets too chilly.

 i pretty much have a different shade of pink lipstick for every day of the week. 
on my desk is a jar of pink jelly bean. just...sitting here....
 they're taunting me as i write this.

i dream of the day i can finally paint our front door pink. on both sides!

*gets off subject*
i should also mention this...
i definitely realize it is not every man's dream or desire to live in a home with the color pink throughout it. i know that i lucked out with this husband of mine who doesn't mind living life in a home that is sprinkled in shades of pink.

it wasn't his favorite idea, at first, but he agreed knowing it would make me happy. 

(he'd never admit it, but i think he's secretly grown to love it ;) )

this blog.
it was a much needed change from the blog we've been using for the past year!
this is a blog about our life sprinkled in pink. 

our dreams of owning our first home with the pink front door. 

& having a few kiddos running around that home someday.
& a puppy. a golden retriever to be exact.
& our two kitties, carl & ellie.
basically a zoo.

it's about our adventures with "happy camper films." which is our small business that we own & run together as a husband & wife team.

you will more than likely read a lot about our love for weddings & people on here.
you understand.

it's about the netflix shows we love to binge watch together...because, lets face it...that's probably a regular activity for most couples.
*sorry, in advance, if you read one too many movie/tv quotes*

it's about the everyday days we spend together in our home. 
the good days. the bad days.
the weird things we say & do. don't worry, we save the weirdest of the weird for our eyes & ears only.

our date nights in, our date nights out.
our love for lexington, kentucky. & the amazing places this city has to offer!

the foods we make together & recipes we come up with.
it's about our journey with meal prepping.

& our journey to healthy lifestyles.
it's about my journey with 21 day fix & the struggles that come along with that.

it's about crafts i make. or attempt to make.

& sometimes sell. & sometimes might even decide to give away to you. 

it's about our hurts. my hurts

our fears. my fears.

it's about faith. 

our relationship with the Lord. 
what the Lord teaches us daily. or weekly. or monthly. or yearly.
it's about what we learn from our people. our family, our friends.

it's about how marriage can be messy.
let's be honest: marriage takes work.

& it's about how it would be even messier without Christ. 

it's about unmade beds. 

4 a.m's.
going through times of sadness & happiness.
being hurt & broken. being loved & encouraged.

being vulnerable.

it's about living life & choosing joy. 
it's about a life sprinkled in pink.

i'm so excited to share my life, love, business, & hobbies with you. 

so, sit back. grab some tea. maybe a cupcake? or an apple? whichever you prefer.
let's get to know each other, what do ya say?

xoxo,
