January just flew by. For the first half of the month, we were looking to find our next apartment. Did we mention we moved?? Moving is always a daunting task in New York City. But when you’re us, you’re prepared with everything you need. When you go in to apply for an apartment, you have everything ready to go because NYC apartments move so fast. It’s what got us our last place–we were 6 seconds faster than another applicant–and that’s what got us this apartment. Well, maybe our son helped with that ;).
But we’re settling in, unpacking the last few boxes, and getting to know the new neighborhood. These are our five favorite things that got us through the month.

2. Mpix & Fox Prints
There are two photo printing services we LOVE. First, Mpix. We started using them about 5 years ago when we were looking for a quality printer for our wedding photos. Their prints look and feel premium for a great price. Please check them out! (P.S. You get $5 off if you’re a new customer with that link).
Second, Fox Prints are our second favorite photo service. We used them to create our Instagram frame back in 2015. Every year we refresh the frame with new photos. We love them! Here’s a look at our refreshed frame going into 2019:
3. Butternut Bakery Blog’s Better Than Boxed Chocolate Fudge Brownies
First of all, these photos are mouth-watering. When we saw Butternut Bakery Blog post this recipe these photos, our mouths fell to the floor. If you know us we love our boxed brownie mix. But these–oh my. We are going to try these brownies out this weekend.

4. Our Favorite Photography Redos
The new year is a time to reinvent yourself. You might make a resolution or reset some part of your life. We’re always working towards making our photos look tastier–especially those really early photos–so check out our favorite photography updates to see how we did!
5. Chocolate Cupcakes for Two
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, you’re going to want to try these brownie heart cupcakes. The recipe only makes two!
