For Japan With Love


We have all seen photos or news footage on the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. With each report and photo I am left speechless. I always wish there was more I could do. I know when disaster strikes we all feel this way. Tomorrow I will be participating in the blogger's day of silence for Japan. Below is a list of organizations that are helping with the devastation.

In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day this posted is dedicated to all things green/irish.

Wedding Brain






I've been having "wedding brain" since my mom announced her engagement. I'm looking forward to planning her wedding and my maid of honor duties. Above are some photos I found that are giving me inspiration. I'm so thankful there's Pinterest & blogs! Wedding magazines are a joke!

Something blue...



If you know me you know how close my momma and I are. She's not just my mom she's also a sister and a friend. She's my biggest fan and my toughest critic. We can argue like sisters but it never lasts long. My mom was a devoted single mother for 17 years. So when she started dating John it took some getting used to. (I was an overprotective daughter) Finally after (almost) 5 years of dating John FINALLY popped the question - THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED!!! If anyone deserves love and happiness it's my mom and I'm so happy that she has found it. John is a great guy and I'm so happy to welcome him into my family! Above is a photo of my mom's engagement ring (a blue diamond) and a photo of the happy couple!

Oscar Party





My good friend Roxy threw a beautiful Oscar party this year! How was this Oscar party a success? Roxy's amazing attention to details! Included in her invites were ballots which you had to fill out before the party. She also made Oscar bingo cards. There was also Oscar trivia! If you had the most correct votes on the ballot and won bingo and the trivia you got a little trophy. This made watching the Oscars a lot more fun! What else? Roxy wanted to do a concession stand. So she bought popcorn, popcorn boxes, candy, vintage sodas, funky straws, etc. These elements helped bring her concession stand to life! She decided to use her dining room table to house the appetizers and food. Instead of just laying out laying out the food she used old picture boxes, photo albums, etc. to add depth to the table. The table was also dressed up with movie inspired books, candles and flowers. There was a separate area set up to get your plates, napkins, forks, etc. There was also a separate drink area for the official Oscar punch! I wish I took photos of what it looked it like with everything out but I didn't.

Please check out Roxy's site by Bun. She's a creative genius!
