DIY

Sometimes the best ideas come from...YOU!!!  Lately, well...at least since I have been having withdrawls from wedding planning, I have been coming up with easy, but absolutely adorable ideas.  Here is my latest project.  One of my good friends is having her first baby...a baby girl.  I was checking out diaper cakes to order for her shower.  Needless to say, I was completely disappointed.  I thought to myself, "I can totally do this, but make it....me-ish."  Her husband graduated from the Holy Land...aka...The University of Texas.  Shoutout to Cooper...little Bevo.  Can't wait to meet you, Caylee!  More DIY baby favor ideas to come...

Team Deanna!!!

Now that my favorite girl, Jillian, has been eliminated from the Bachelor...I am rooting for Deanna Pappas to take the crown...or ring in this case!  Can't wait until next Monday for the finale!!!!!!  I was completely thrown when a girlfriend of mine said that Jason had met Melissa on a trip to Big D to visit Jeremy (another hottie from Bachelorette)!  If that is the case...I'm quitting Bachelor!

Gain 5,000 pounds on V-day

Ok Ok...so my Valentine and I never go out for Valentine's Day.  For one, it is a complete hassle and two restaurants run out of everything before your reservation (as I learned more of on Sunday).  I decided to make something special for my first Valentine's Day as a wife...I rolled out pasta and put it through a pasta cutter and made spaghetti sauce with homemade turkey meatballs, Contessa Outrageous Brownies (which are sinfully delicious) sundaes!  If that wasn't enough...Sunday was my first After Valentine's Day Brunch with my girlfriends.  I thought that it was a perfect opportunity to decorate all things Valentine &  gossip with the girls.  Valentine's Brunch consisted of Pomegranate Ginger Champagne Cocktails, Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Shrimp and Cheesy Grits, Individual Egg Scrambles, Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins, Long-stemmed Strawberries with Homemade Chocolate Sauce, Cape Cod Salad, Shortbread Heart Cookies and Nutella filled pancakes (which was the only thing I was disappointed in).  In all, we had a fabulous time and I can't wait for Linner :)

Happy Hearts Day!
