OK so I didn’t think my last post regarding “the diet” would stimulate so much conversation…I am glad to know that people actually care what I have to say, so thanks for listening friends. With that being said, I want to clarify what I meant by my diet– we all have a certain way we want […]

Normally, I pretty much eat what I want…in moderation. Coupled with 3 to 4 days of exercise and portion control, I’m on a fairly routine food plan, but can incorporate a few indulgences every now and then since I know what my “happy weight” fluctuates around.  However, 2 weeks from today=bridal portraits, which means this girl is going […]

I had a few of my blogging friends email me asking for suggestions on what to cook for Easter and how to host a fun get-together for friends/family after church activities…with Easter Sunday just a week and a half away, here are some of my favorite ideas I’ve found {and yes, included links to the actual […]

Ahhhhh!! Freakout mode commences… after a LOVELY and wonderful weekend in Knoxville with friends and family, the hustle and bustle of pre-wedding life gets back in action. 2 months from today, us girls will be getting beautiful and the boys will be–well, let’s face it, sleeping and being lazy until about an hour before the ceremony–but […]

OK, so all of you were quick to come to the rescue and ease my fears about talking about all the white-what-not-to-wear, so I thought it would be a perfect Friday post to showcase anything and everything WHITE on the horizon this season…I think we should all wear this color as much as possible for […]

once this wedding fiasco business is said and done, i am going to make a serious effort to blogging again about fun DIY projects, new recipes, decorating the house, fun workouts and exercises, shopping…you know the very important stuff–haha. until that time, though, i thought i would take some time to divert your attention to other noteworthy blogs […]

Though today started off a bit rough around the edges, I want to be positive and thankful for all the GOOD things I have going on right now… remember, the glass is ALWAYS half full, but if all else fails, I can tell myself this: I love how every week we get to venture over […]

One day, maybe I’ll write a weekly newspaper column about wedding etiquette and the in’s and out’s of being a good guest/bride/bridesmaid/etc, but until that day, I wanted to share some lessons I’ve learned these past 14 months that could just help some of you out… {and by no means am I claiming to be the “end […]

OK so for all you local ladies, I am certain I am not alone in that yesterday was a scary, scary day in and around Nashville. Tornado warnings, sirens going off, power out everywhere–it just wasn’t a pretty picture whatsoever. I don’t do so well in the scary weather and I am not afraid to […]

This weekend was just that…a lovely mess. No complaints from this girl, as I tackled each and every thing I needed to knock out and still managed to have some fun with friends, too! Recap time: Friday night, Jeff and I decided to forego the grocery store to get dressed up for dinner, just the two of us. After […]
