sneak peek

Full wedding weekend update to come (my sister was an absolutely GORGEOUS bride!)...until then, here are some of my photo booth pictures! Erin over at Bustle and I made the props - aren't they adorable?

momma's love

Sorry for the radio silence around here lately - as you have heard (a million times!) my little sis tied the knot last weekend and I have been insanely busy preparing for months! More on that later...but it was an absolutely perfect wedding weekend and I can't wait to share.

A few weeks ago, I spent Mother's Day celebrating my best friend. My momma has been incredible to me throughout my entire life, and a day doesn't go by that I don't call her multiple times, for multiple reasons. She truly is the perfect woman! And my dad would agree.

On Mother's Day, I cooked a delicious (if I do say so myself) brunch at my boyfriend's parents' house in honor of all the mommas (including me - see my new puppy, Tommy, below!).

The day couldn't have been more perfect!

tick, tock

Lately, life has been BUSY [to say the least!]...in addition to work being crazy, my little sister is getting hitched next week and I haven't had a moment to spare. In stressful times like these, a glance at this poster would really keep things in perspective...and my belly full, of course.
