To celebrate Caroline’s first holiday, I wanted to have a very special Easter basket…one that she can keep to use each and every year and of course, it just had to be personalized. 😉 I started stocking up on basket goodies about a month or so ago, as I knew my shopping time would be […]

It was Friday, March 16th, and I was getting restless. I had been out to lunch with my aunt and cousin that afternoon just talking about how I was trying to keep myself entertained so I wouldn’t sit at home “waiting” for Caroline to make her way into the world. As soon as Jeff got […]

My mind is all sorts of jello, just like this post: 1. My house has been taken over by someone who weighs a mere 7 (and something) pounds…how has this happened? Walk in our front door and you’ll find her stroller, car seat, diaper bag, activity mat, bassinet, bouncy seat, and a changing station all […]

It’s time for our last installment of the fun wedding week linkup party! This time, Amy from Fresh and Fancy is featuring all the special touches that make each wedding celebration unique…today, it’s all about the details! out-of-town bags for our guests homemade popcorn snack mix, mini jack daniels’ bottles, tennessee postcards, homemade tennessee jam cake, and […]

I’m back! Well, let’s get realistic, I am back with a caveat that peanut takes precedence and I am only able to contribute a little bit here, a little bit there-in between feedings and naps, but I’ll take it. It’s a new week…a week where Jeff is back to work, and I am attempting to […]

Hey there! Gorgeous day to talk about anything and everything wedding, right? My contribution to this week’s party, The Reception. Each and every detail of wedding planning was fun, but for me, the reception was everything I was so looking forward to. I wanted our personalities to stand out, and I wanted our guests to […]

A new week with all new wedding linkup party fun! {P.S. as I write these, it’s funny how in 9 months, everything can change so quickly…I now have a tiny little one sleeping in her bouncy chair next to me-random, I know, but still crazy nonetheless} Here they are: the ceremony pictures. The first big […]

Day #3 of our fun linkup party…I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am. But, if you’ve missed the first two recaps, here they are: engagement pictures and the rehearsal dinner. Today’s topic is all about the geting ready before the ceremony shots: The day had finally arrived! After 16 months of planning, […]

Back for round 2 of the link-up party, this time focusing on the day prior to the wedding…the rehearsal dinner! We wanted a simple, southern laidback evening with our closest friends and family to kick-off our wedding weekend, and working with a Nashville staple, Mere Bulles, turned out to be a fabulous decision. We started […]

Wow, what a weekend…so much can change with the blink of an eye! I could tease a bit and say we spent the days relaxing and doing our “normal routine”, yet our life completely changed for the better-on Saturday, March 17th, 2012 at 12:18pm, Caroline Cate Stoneking made her debut into our world! Our little miss is apparently […]
