These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things
Hello
Explore the icons and learn a little about our favorite things!
Our Animals
We are the proud parents of a gorgeous Golden Retriever named Sophie. There are a few cats roaming around here, as well. Anyone who knows us even a little, knows how much we love our animals (and everyone else's animals, too)!!
Nature Hikes
We have a mutual love of the great outdoors. Spending time in nature makes us happy. We’re always ready to throw on a backpack, and go for a walk in the woods. The quiet forest air is good for our souls; it keeps us grounded when life gets hectic.
Cookies
Even though we have different ideas of what exactly qualifies as the “perfect” chocolate chipper (Jenn loves the vegan cookies from Alternative Baking Co, while Ben is loyal to the traditional Toll House recipe), we can both agree that these are the best type of cookie on the planet
Tim Horton's Coffee
This one is all Ben. For him, this is the coffee that sets the standard for all other coffee. Bring him a large double double from Timmy Ho’s (any time of day or night), and he’ll instantly be your BFF.
Family Dinners
For us, there is nothing more valuable in the whole wide world than the relationships we have with our family and friends. Even though our lives are incredibly busy, we always make time to host a family dinner or spend time with friends. Sharing a meal with the people we love is definitely one of our very favorite things!
That clean, Green Lifestyle
Photography might be our “first love,” but health and wellness is a close second! We’re all about that clean, green lifestyle, and we’re always learning new things about how to take care of our bodies and the planet.
Bubble Tea
This is Jenn’s favorite food/beverage item on the planet. She could be having the worst day ever, and one sip/chomp of a bubble tea will turn her world around. Her very particular order is as follows: large strawberry fruit tea made with green tea - no sugar, no ice, and two scoops of bubbles. Bring her one of these babies and she'll love you forever.
Organic Gardening
We have a large veggie garden, a compost bin, and a rain barrel. Growing our own food and eating organic whenever possible is very important to us. We recycle everything imaginable, and hug trees whenever possible. We’re just a couple of hippies disguised as young professionals.
Our Home
If there’s one thing you should know about us, it’s that we are the homeiest of homebodies. We do enjoy traveling and seeing new places but our no 1 favorite place to be is home, together, on our own couch, with our dog and cats close by.
Yoga & Meditation
Jenn is all about Kundalini Yoga, a specific yoga practice with a heavy focus on breath work. If you ever find yourself wondering how you can be more successful as an artist, wonder no more. This is it. Seek it out, and do it.
Antiques
Our home is furnished and decorated with objects that have been in our families for generations, “lucky finds” from thrift stores and consignment shops, and awesome things that we’ve scored from side-of-the-road junk piles. We can watch back to back episodes of “Antiques Roadshow” for literal hours.
Anthropologie
If you run into Jenn anywhere other than the gym, there’s a very good chance that she’s wearing something from Anthropologie.
Wegman's
The best grocery store in the history of grocery stores for so many reasons.
Sci-Fi
Yes. We’re huge nerds. We both love sci-fi and fantasy like crazy. Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, pretty much anything having to do with dragons…we love it all. There is some debate between us as to which is the best, but in general, sci fi is a total common denominator.
Elsie
In January 2015, our little family grew to include our beautiful baby girl, Elsie Jane. We've had many adventures together, but becoming parents was, by far, our biggest and most incredible adventure yet! We're inspired every day by this tiny human, and our hearts are so full they could burst. She's definitely one of our "favorite things." You can see lots of baby Elsie over on our Instagram feed! #elsiejaneayres
