In the early weeks and months of being pregnant, it was sometimes all I could do to drag myself out of bed, keep my eyes open during the day and avoid falling asleep at 5:30 on the couch. It seems like I was tired all the time. I was so happy when I traded those...

from Hunter & Jami plus one
Here are about half of the cards I finally mailed today. Sorry if you’re on the list and you don’t get one by Christmas. They also say Happy New Year, so as long as they arrive in 2010, I think I’m safe. It actually didn’t take as long as I thought to pick up the...

a new addition
What an exciting year this has been so far and it’s only October! I’ve definitely been a lucky girl in 2010. A romantic engagement in February, showers, lots of planning, a beautiful wedding in July, a fabulous honeymoon, moving into a new house and now? For starters, a snazzy new car! Do you love it?...

Invitation How-To’s
While the wedding and honeymoon are slowly fading to blissful memores, there are still lots of details I haven’t shared. How about the invites for one? They set the tone of the wedding and really are the first impression your friends and family have of the big event. I sent more thought on this than...

Invitations Have Left the Building!
After much browsing other blogs, flipping through wedding magazines, clipping, contemplating, creating, font-changing, re-creating, and editing, I was finally able to design an invitation I was satisfied with and now I can officially say they are DONE! They are black and white (of course), but I didn’t want them to be all solid colors, too...

Breakfast at Gravel Road
I finally made it to Gravel Road for breakfast – twice. It’s that good. If you haven’t been yet, then believe me when I say you’re missing out. Everything is delicious. So far I’ve tried the 3 eggs plate and the Pigs in a Blanket with Hunter opting for short stacks both times. They open...

Chick-fil-a Day
My sister Jennifer and I spent the better part of the weekend in Atlanta after we went to a ceremony for her hubby Mike at Chik-fil-a’s corporate headquarters on Friday. He just finished a six-week training program and we celebrated his moving up the ranks. Congrats Mikey! He is officially a store operator now! It...

I Want a Tassimo!
I was over at my friends Jason and Danielle’s house the other day and got to test out Jason’s new Christmas present – the Tassimo Hot Beverage System. It is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time and now I desperately want one of my own. This mini machine magically makes...

Piggy Cake
I showed the invitations for this backyard BBQ awhile back, but I didn’t show off one of my proudest accomplishments – the pig cake. That’s right. I made a cake that was not only edible, but tasty, pink and looked like a little piglet. It was a minor miracle. Most everyone who knows me, knows...

Mad for Moleskine
I stopped by the Destin Barnes & Noble today to pick up a 2010 Moleskine planner. I absolutely love these perfect little leather books. They make blank books for writing and sketching, lined books, graphed books, address books, even books with music pages and storyboard spaces. They come in tiny pocket sizes all the way...

Sushi Night at the Beach Club!
Santa Rosa’s Beach Club Restaurant has added a sushi night to the weekly mix every Thursday and I’ve been a few times now. It’s so good! The menu is somewhat limited but most of the favorites are there and Chuk (who used to roll sushi back in the 331/Blue Bar days) always has a few...

Backyard BBQ Invites
Ever since we met in old Landis Hall at FSU our freshman year, Shannon has been one of my absolute favorite people – sorority sister, roommate, best friend, drinking buddy – you name it. I don’t think she could have found a better mate than Doug. They are both smart, goofy, easy going and 100%...

Beachin’ It in Seagrove & Seaside
This weekend was absolutely beautiful! There were only a few afternoon showers and the rest of the days were perfect beach days. This was my view from my chair near Eastern Lake today. Sunshine, clear water and best of all, almost no June grass! I spent a little time at the beach in Seaside yesterday...

Love the New Barefoot BBQ
Between weekend rains over Memorial Day weekend, I tried to spend as much time enjoying this view….. It was glorious! When we were finally forced away to refuel with food and drink, we decided to try the new Barefoot BBQ in Seaside. It’s right next to the sno-cone place and sits in a fun little...

Wedding Pictures!
Amanda Suanne did an amazingly fabulous job capturing my sister’s big day and getting some really amazing shots. Everything was so much fun and came together so well. We did almost everything ourselves from scouting great deals on linens and centerpieces to printing programs and table numbers to making bouquets and boutonnieres. The process was...
