Wii fit plus

Yesterday, my dear sweet fiancé purchased and gifted me with a wii fit plus for Mother's day. Tonight, we stepped on for the first time. Goodness -- we have bunches of work to do before the wedding.

to have and to hold beverages

Found a personalized galvanized beverage tub and stand at Walmart.com and am considering getting several for the reception to hold the multitude of water bottles that I plan to have on hand for guests during my late August wedding.

Waiting anxiously

Want so badly to see our invitation and RSVP proofs now!!!! Waiting is so very difficult but there is no other option. Will post when they arrive.

pink and sparkly

These fuchsia Nina brand shoes are seriously the best looking fancy shoes that I have seen in quite awhile and oh how I wish that I needed this much height on my wedding day.  Almost wish the wedding ceremony was indoors too...  Alas though the shoes look amazing and are the PERFECT color, I won't be purchasing these shoes due to their height.  Sadly, my dear sweet and sexy fiance isn't *that* much taller than me necessitating these heels.

Not so lazy Sunday

My daughter and I ran/walked a 5k this morning and now, we are going out to my fiancé's grandmother's house to play with these...



Four wheelin' is bunches of fun!

not my vendor but they have some cute stuff

Even though I have selected another vendor for my invitations, I saw these today and wanted to share.

craft project

I found this nifty crafty flower project on Project Wedding today and thought that I would share it with ya'll.

delayed gratification

It seems that I must wait 8 weeks for a custom Lila Frances "Original Silver Lingerie Wedding Dress Hanger" but I will happily bide my time until I receive this precious memento.

Thank goodness that I remembered to order with enough time to spare.

You can order your very own custom dress hanger via her etsy website or this link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/26651786/the-original-silver-lingerie-wedding-dre

Best wishes,

Found a steal

Yesterday I was shopping at Ross with my mom and daughter when I found a pair of pretty red shoes that are perfect for the wedding. I got 'em for a steal.

An iPhone wallpaper that my daughter saved to my phone that is appropriate always - especially when planning a wedding and joining two individuals.

For sale - magnets

I have three more magnets than I need and therefore am offering them for sale. I purchased these three for full retail price from Hobby Lobby but cannot put my fingers on the receipt so that I can return these beauties. Photos are if actual items for sale. I am asking $1 each plus actual shipping.



Quarter is not included but used to show size.

Sneak peek

I drew the pattern out on a couple of plastic placemats. Using my imagination, a sharpie marker, and a straight edge ruler. I am making one of these custom handbags for each of my eight girls (2 matrons of honor and 6 bridesmaids). Might even patch one together for myself. :)

First time

It is a local establishment owned and operated by my daughter's best friend's grandmother and today was the very first time that I actually are their food. Good homecooking. :)
