Keep Calm and Marry On

Love is definitely in the air recently!  In the past few weeks I have helped throw not one, but TWO bridal showers!

The first was for my very own baby sis who is getting married in June!  I could not be happier for her and know that she and her fiance will have many years of wedded bliss together.

For her shower, we decided on the theme "Keep Calm and Marry On" {all these pictures are taken from my very talented big sis.  Who has her own photography business by the way...contact me for details!}


We had an afternoon tea filled with lots of love and laughter.  My mom and older sis took care of all the food, decorations, and favors, so I cannot take credit for them!



It truly was a wonderful afternoon!
Surprise!!!

She has the *best* surprised faces

Little M helping opening presents

Sisters!!!


The second shower was for our friend R who married my girls' godfather just last Friday in NYC!  I hosted at my house and my friends L and J helped with everything.  We decided on a "Sweet and Spicy" theme for the shower. 

The sign said "Miss to Mrs."

Poms are the devil


Gift table

Drinks

The happy couple and R's "Bride-to-Be" sash
Since it was an afternoon shower, we had just desserts and a few appetizers to snack on.


Fondue station

A special New Zealand dessert...special for R since she is from there!
 There was a candy bar for favors {sweet}

 We then had everyone bring her lingerie as a gift {spicy}

It was such a fun, lo-key special event....and R had NO idea we were throwing it, so the surprise was even sweeter!

She started to cry when she realized what was happening

Isn't she the cutest!


These girls loved hangin with the ladies too!

I wish both these special ladies many many years of wedded bliss!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
