- Bahamas Travel Diary Take me away..... ....to the Bahamas, that is. Ever had limited time or money and you just want a quick escape, a stress relief weekend and just some plain ole R & R (rest and relaxation)? I DO!!! And recently I got just that- Let's head to the Bahamas, somewhere, warm and exotic. These islands are one of the most visited tourists spots in the world. The weather is perfect year round so if soaking up some sun is a hobby- this is your HAPPY PLACE. -The waters are mesmerizing, crystal-clear, and a beautiful turquoise. The sand is white- pristine white - making it a beautiful contrast against the sky. With the gorgeous waters, scuba diving and snorkeling are top rated and very affordable. There are a variety of fish and marine life, coral, shipwrecks, and reefs. Beautiful shells and whole sand dollars dot the beaches. Life just becomes very interesting in the Bahamas- the premier destination for under water activities. !function(d,s,id){ var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Gender Reveal Party I am so excited to share the intricate details of the Gender Reveal Party with y'all. One of the most exciting parts of pregnancy is finding out the sex of the baby. Creative gender reveal parties have become increasing popular for those wanting to learn the sex of the baby prior to giving birth. I just knew mine was going to be UNFORGETTABLE, and it was! The anticipation and excitement is like Christmas, the sleepless nights, the gender keeper secrets, the festivities, all add up to my GENDER PARTY! It's more than I could ever imagine and it was beyond perfect. I had prepared for months, ordering the food, the cake, the balloons, plates and napkins, the flowers, the favors, the decorations and of course the all important GENDER REVEAL Confetti Cannons! The decor for the pool was so sweet and elegant with floating candles and floating Lilly pads - they were the prettiest additions. What to wear.... What shall I wear? Pink? Blue? and I finally found 'the one' - a combination of pink AND blue with a magical iridescent flair! The perfect invitations were selected and all were mailed. RSVP's were accounted for and friends/family [...]

Cute & Casual Looks With Christmas holidays and parties now in full swing, let's discuss what we all love to wear AFTER those parties- and that would be CASUAL -not dressy . Casual clothes are the uniform for American's middle class, relaxed and informal, and two of my favorites are graphic tees and jeans! I love that the graphic tees always fit perfectly, are stretchy. And oh sooo comfy yet affordable. The quality is beyond comparison to any other shirt! The tees always give me such a relaxed feeling suited for everyday use. Additionally, graphic tees make a bold statement for Cute & Casual looks - such a conversational piece! Many like that graphic tees display an individual's personal style without having to say much. They still show off a skillful flair and an air of confidence. If you want a more dressier look, pair it with a neutral blazer and a nice pair of jeans. Midi skirts go perfectly hand-in-hand with tees. Which brings me to my next casual item - Jeans! Everyone seems to love a great pair of jeans. They truly are the #1 staple both men and women have in their closets. Jeans come in all types [...]
Hi friends! Tis the season for family and fun - hopefully both together hahaha which means Christmas Activities! Christmas is approaching - a really magical time of the year! Making a list of things to do really cuts down on the stress and helps you feel accomplished at the end of the day. Many of the Christmas activities I am going to share in this post are things I have done throughout my childhood and continue to do now. After all, it is all about making memories, right? So, let's start with making Christmas crafts. Popcorn is so delicious and can be strung as garland to trim the tree. Christmas ornaments and cards are always fun to make and send to family! Next on my list is making Christmas cookies and entertaining friends with the annual cookie swap/exchange. This activity is always a hit and I always make enough to share later with friends! Additionally, writing a letter to Santa and mailing it to the North Pole was probably my favorite activity and let's not forget to leave the cookies out by the chimney too! I also loved making hot chocolate with fluffy marshmallows to take on the CHRISTMAS LIGHT TOUR! [...]
Hi friends! I was BEYOND excited to find Tyson Pet Chews recently. But even more excited to share them with you. I know so many of you have four legged babies that you love like your own children. I love spoiling Larry and one of his favorite things are treats. But he's super picky. He really only like to eat the best, otherwise, he just doesn't have a taste for it. And to be honest, I am okay with that. Now a days, there are so many different products on the market with so many ingredients. The moment I opened that bag that little black nose started bouncing! A couple of things I noticed right away with Tyson Pet Chews was the smell, the size of the treat and the texture. They did not smell like dog treats, they smelled like something that I would cook for dinner! They were large in size and gave him something to actually chew on. This has been huge for us because when we leave Larry gets anxious, so we've been giving him a Tyson Pet Chew to keep him occupied and full while we are away. The texture is perfect for dogs!! It is [...]
