So I am officially less than 2 weeks away from my wedding, and I am more then a little bit PANICKED!! My to-do list is about a mile and a half long, and every time I cross something off, it seems that I have to add 2 other things on there. It is never ending, and I am honestly thinking it may never all get done (and what happens then?! I don’t even want to think about it). Aside from {Read More}
My Wedding Makeup Inspiration
April 12, 2013 by 1 Comment
It is a little known secret that I love Twilight. Yes, I am admitting it — I love the books AND the movies. Jay and the kids know … only because I watch the movies often, and read the books every other month. But right now, my Twilight fixation is on Bella Swan’s wedding makeup. I just love it. I don’t wear a lot of makeup …. actually, I hardly ever wear full face makeup. And for that reason I {Read More}
The Perfect Wedding Invitations
April 3, 2013 by 2 Comments
As many of you know, I have really been trying to stick to a budget for this budget for this wedding. I do not want to go into debt, and I can admittedly be a bit of a credit card swiper. Jay and I have really tried to save up cash, and pay cash for everything that we can, and I have made just about everything by hand that could. Well, except for my invitations. Let me start out by {Read More}
Who is Your Style Inspiration?
March 20, 2013 by 1 Comment
Since becoming a mom, I have found that my style – or lack there of – really suffered. I was stuck. I couldn’t figure out how to dress like a mom, while still dressing like me. I still feel like that sometimes. Add to that the fact that I gained a lot of weight with both kids, and my style quickly became blah. Comfortable pants, tee shirts … nothing that was really dressy or what I would consider nice clothes. {Read More}
Almost Time For my Dress Alterations!
March 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I have been so, so, SO busy lately. Wedding “stuff” takes up much more time then I ever anticipated. But that is okay. I am feeling pretty accomplished as I get through my very long list of to-dos. I was very excited because my dress came in a month earlier then it was scheduled. Which is awesome, considering it was supposed to come in just 3 weeks before the wedding, and I had to order it a full size too {Read More}
It has been a COLD Winter!
February 25, 2013 by 1 Comment
I have lived in the Northeast all my life. And I have to tell you — I really am NOT crazy about the snow. I was never one to partake in winter sports. Well, that isn’t entirely true. I did try to ice skate … once, as a child, and that was it. It was much to cold for me to actually have fun. When winter rolls around and the snow is inches (sometimes feet!) high, I prefer to sit {Read More}
A little known secret of mine …
February 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Prior to becoming a stay at home mom, I worked in a dental office. Little known secret? I really liked it! I worked the front desk, and eventually became the office manager. But I specialized in insurance. I never thought that I would like learning about dental insurance, or that I would be able to make heads or tails of the many codes and terminology that are involved, but I did. I have considered going to back to work in {Read More}
Intentional Parenting Course is Almost Over
February 1, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The past four weeks, I have been loving my Intentional Parenting e-course. I have learned a lot about what it takes to be the mom that I want to be, and I am so inspired by the Solars and the other parents participating in the course. They are filled with awesome ideas and it is so nice to have a group of people with the same goals to bounce ideas off of and ask questions to. Each week, there has {Read More}
Today I’m Thankful For…
January 13, 2013 by 1 Comment
I realized lately that part of my journey to getting healthy is mental. It is not just about eating better, and working out, but about having a positive attitude, being calmer, clearheaded, and most importantly – being thankful for the small blessings that I have in my life each day. A few months ago, I wrote a 2 minute thankful list, and found that it was very therapeutic. I have been doing this semi-regularly in my diary, and I thought {Read More}
Becoming A Better Parent …
January 10, 2013 by 3 Comments
A few weeks ago, I told you all about the Intentional Parenting e-course that is run by The Happy Family Movement. I have really been looking forward to taking this course, and it just started this week. And you know what? I did something I haven’t done since I was taking college classes 4 years ago — I went out, purchased ink and paper for the printer, and I printed EVERYTHING out and put it in a binder. My workbook {Read More}
