I realize that I’m late, but my weekend was just too much fun and perfection for 3 days…I really needed an extra day to process! My husband Andrew and I spent the entire weekend in Okoboji, IA celebrating the wedding of our best friends. Obviously…I knew beforehand that the weekend was going to be one of absolute bliss…but my expectations were met, obliterated and then continuously exceeded throughout the entire weekend. The bride was gorgeous…I’m talking light up an entire… Read more »

Have I mentioned yet how much I love music? Well, if I haven’t….I really, really love it. Let’s go ahead and put music right after coffee on my priority list! That being said…I spend an abnormal amount of time browsing Spotify and creating, what I believe to be, the best playlists ever. I create a playlist for everything…I mean, everything. I have cleaning playlists, bath playlists, car washing playlists, craft playlists, blog playlists, running playlists, cheer the hell up playlists….I… Read more »

The Apple App Store is right up there next to Sephora and Andrew William Grade as a contender for the love of my life 😉 I can’t go a day without stopping by to check for updates or to see what new Apps are being featured for the week. It’s fun, it’s easy and  it truly does feel like shopping….but you can do it from your bed and you’re not likely to spend more than $4.99; Sephora and Andrew cost… Read more »

I would like to point out that the title describes my current state of mind…perfectly. I would also like to point out that I am under the influence of several different medications…so, this might not make any sense; I will try to keep it short and sweet. Yesterday afternoon, I went into the Lakeside Hospital Procedure center to undergo an upper endoscopy, dilation and biopsy. I was promised that this would be an in and out right back on your feet sort… Read more »

Andrew and I rarely fight. Sure, we bicker, disagree, annoy, nag (well, i do) and some days I am pretty sure he wants to return me right back where he found me. Luckily, most of our disagreements last less than 10 minutes…but when we do decide to fight, we really fight. Andrew and I’s fighting styles are outrageously different. I have a large arsenal of vocabulary words at my disposal and I tend to pull out the sharpest I can… Read more »

I just joined the Tumblr craze. I know it was only a matter of time before my Pinterest fix would be too much and I would be looking for another fix. I found it. In case you are a Tumblr addict as well…or maybe because you just can’t get enough of me you can check out my Tumblr here:: http://hayleyannohara.tumblr.com/ Anyways, I was perusing the “wedding” tag this evening and soaking in all of the beautiful wedding images when I… Read more »

After Andrew proposed everyone I encountered asked the same question, “so, what is it like being engaged!?” Usually their voice raised an octave or two at the end making it sound like an extra exciting question…which always left me with the pressure of providing an extra exciting response. I never had one. The hours following the engagement were obviously some of the most exciting of my life…but by the next morning very few things had changed for the positive. So we are spending… Read more »

As most of you, if you pay any attention at all, have realized…this is not my usual blog Hayley’s Comment. Sorry, but sometimes life changes and your blogging patterns just have to change right along with it! So I would like to present Young, Lovely & A Little Bit Mean…my take on “engagement bliss”. Those of you who know me and/or followed Hayley’s Comment are well aware that I am honest, sometimes too honest. Life, especially my life, is just… Read more »
