I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I had the best intentions of getting my Saturday 6 post up yesterday and it just didn’t happen! As soon as we came back from Texas my sister and her kids arrived for the week and I didn’t have time to sit and write my post Friday night until after 1:00 am. Back in my early blogging days I could have stayed up another hour knocking it out but I’m too old for that now.. ha. I couldn’t keep my eyes open! So this week I’m combining Saturday 6 with the Sunday Edit and apologizing in advance that this is a longer post. Time to pop the popcorn. :)

1 – WEDDING

Dress, Dress (from Anthro)

We went to the most gorgeous wedding last week! Me with the mother of the bride! We love this family so much and I was so emotional seeing her beautiful daughter so happy. Wearing the cute dress I shared earlier.. I love it for all spring/summer events!

Dress, Dress (from Anthro), Similar Heels

Such a fun night!

2 – EASTER TREE

Faux Tree, Egg Ornaments

Cutest little Easter tree! This picture isn’t great because you can’t see how pretty it is with the lights turned on. I ordered this tree and egg ornaments to hang on it and put it in our guest room as a little night light for my sister while she’s here. It’s beautiful lit up at night!

3 – TRAVEL FAVS

{Travel Jewelry Case, Double Layer Makeup Bag, Woven Cosmetic Bag, Makeup Brush Holder,

Clear Cosmetic Bags, Clean Skin Towels, Rx Case, Compression Packing Cubes}

Repeat of a few travel favorites I’ve shared before! I snapped this quick unpacking from Texas. My new (old) backpack is so clean! The woven cosmetic bag is the same bag I’ve shared before.. just a different version and my cute little medicine case is back in stock! 

Clean Skin Towels, Clear Cosmetic Bags

I always pack a few of my clean skin towels to wash my face with. I have lots of these little clear bags leftover from my swim suit organization and they have been perfect for travel.

Travel Jewelry Case

The only new addition here is this cute little travel jewelry case I’m loving! It’s full of small zipper pouches.

I like that I can put necklaces in their own individual pouches because they don’t tangle! Plus the organizer in me just loves the little zipper compartments. :)

4 – ORGANIZED GIFT WRAP

Mesh Wire Baskets (similar)

Ok.. confession time. My gift wrap has been a hot mess since the holidays! I never got it under control after Christmas and it has been spilling all over my office. Piles everywhere.

Mesh Wire Baskets (similar) 

I went through all of my other wrap supplies and donated a lot. So nice to have things under control again!

Mesh Wire Baskets (similar), Wrapping Paper Clips

Isn’t that a pretty sight!? I couldn’t even close this cupboard door before! I love these wrapping paper clips to contain wrapping paper rolls.

Mesh Wire Baskets (similar) 

Feels pretty good to accomplish something that has been on my to-do list since the end of December! Better late than never. :)

6 – SUNDAY EDIT

{Easter Activity Book, Artificial Flowers, Hair Finishing Sticks, Leather Bookmarks, Makeup Sponges, Crew Socks, Fake Tulips}

{Colorful Glasses, Green Glass, Bunny Bowl, Embroidered Napkins, Charger, Table Runner, Teapot, Wreath}

Hello from Texas! Kole and El had the same spring break this week and Ellie hasn’t been to Texas to see her sister this year so we decided that since the whole family couldn’t go on a trip together the 4 of us would just travel to Texas for a few days! So fun being with my crew all together again (I know all moms of older kids get it!). We spent one afternoon at Magnolia and timed it just right with weather. Everything was so beautiful! Sharing some pics I took below! Major spring vibes and if you are still mucking your way through winter let these pics get you by until you start seeing spring in your neck of the woods!

Before we head outside though we need to do some shopping together. Hello gorgeous home decor! This store is TOO much fun.

Ad is the only one who will shop with me and she only lasted about 15 minutes. Ha. I could look at home decor for hours! But I was strong and left after 30 min. Only because I know I’ll be back! :)

Stores like this are my happy place.

I wanted to take it all home! When you visit Magnolia if you spend over $100 they will ship things for free. Most of it you can get on their website too! Their new spring collection is so good this year!

These are some of the items I was most excited about! You’ll see a few of these around my house soon. :)

The last time we were here it was raining so it felt like such a treat to get a gorgeous sunny day!

Everything in the gardens was in full bloom.. gorgeous!

Pop’s lemonade is always a staple when we visit!

The boys and El had fun chilling on the grass and playing games while Ad and I were shopping. A beautiful day at Magnolia!

The next morning we ate at Magnolia Table. We haven’t been there before! We went around 10 am so it was their brunch menu and it was AMAZING. There are about 10 things on the menu I want to try so we will definitely go again next time we visit! Excited to try the dinner menu too. If you are planning a trip make sure to book the restaurant early! Spots fill up quickly. I got our reservation about a week in advance.

That afternoon we went on a tour of Baylor with our favorite Baylor tour guide. :) So funny because when Kenny and I were visiting colleges with the kids we always said to each other that we could totally see Addison giving tours one day. It’s so her! She loves people, she loves getting involved in school activities and public speaking comes so easily to her. Feels full circle to see her working as one now! We didn’t tell the other people on the tour we were her family because we didn’t want to throw her off her game.. ha. I tried to not stand too close to her because I’ve been told we kinda look alike. ;) Ellie got to see her dorm later that day and we took some of her cute friends to dinner. So fun being in her world for a few days! Proud of my college girls and all the new fun things they are doing.

Good-bye Waco! Until next time.

:)

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good weekend! We spent most of Saturday cleaning our garage. Not exactly a fun way to spend the day but it was long overdue and feels so good to have done! I still need to go through some cupboards but we got everything off the floor and Kenny mopped so we’re calling it a success. Then we went to a wedding and it was so beautiful! A fun and productive day. :)

The Amazon spring sale is still going through today! Sharing favorites on sale below along with your favorites from the week. Enjoy your day!

{Sunglasses, Bracelet, Tapestry Dress, PAIGE Jeans, Cotton Dress, Cardigan Tee, Striped Tee, Hobo Bag, Swim Top}

1 – PALM SPRINGS

Not a bad place to spend the weekend!

We took Kole and some friends for an early birthday celebration. Kole turns 15 this Sunday! I can’t believe I’m saying that. I know some of you have been with me since he was born! Love this kid too much. Rap music was blasting the whole two hour drive there and the car was full of noise and laughing and energy. On the way home 3 of the 4 boys were asleep. The sign of a successful trip! Ha.

Boys had fun swimming and playing ping pong/pool and going to the gym at the resort. I planted myself and enjoyed this view. It felt so good to sit and do nothing for a while. How often do we do that? Definitely not enough.

2 – FRUIT BOWLS

{Citrus Wall Art}

When your morning snack matches your art. :)

3 – CUTE KEYS

4 – EASTER BOOK/BASKET IDEAS

5 – AROUND THE HOUSE

{Bunny Figurines, Simplicity Book, AD at 100 Book, Wall Art (similar), Textured Pot, Woven Baskets, Potted Leaf Tree}

I needed a little something to set on these books.. perfection!

6 – LUNCH IDEAS

Ok.. sorry if the title of this one threw you off and you thought I was actually going to share good lunch ideas. Clearly my friends and I are in NO position to help on that.. ha! This recent text thread just made me laugh! When I answered that I ate popcorn and bacon for lunch (microwave bacon btw.. I’m not over here frying anything up) I didn’t expect my friends to be doing the same! Made me feel a little less guilty.

So enjoy a cookie, toast or some jelly beans on us this weekend! #momlunch I have a feeling we’ll all survive.

p.s. Don’t forget the Diet Coke. ;)

Happy Friday! Sharing a couple of home updates from the week! I’ve been styling all the things for spring. Makes me so happy! Now we just need our sunshine back. It has been so cloudy and cold this week! I’m loving this pretty vase for spring (included in the Amazon sale!). I added my pink tulips and a bunny and now my spring coffee table is complete!

I’ve learned that I have to have a low arrangement on this table or Kenny can’t see the TV and off it goes each night when we watch our shows (drives me crazy!). This vase and tulips pass the height test. Barely! But they pass. His remote and computer charger are safely tucked away in the fabric boxes (drives him crazy when he can’t find them!). This coffee table decor not only looks pretty for spring, but also keeps our marriage in tact.

{Vase, Fake Tulips, Glass Bunny, Coffee Table, Lemon Book, Woven Tray, Made for Living Book, Fabric Box (similar)}

Mission accomplished. ;)

{Lamp, Chair 

{Vase, Fake Tulips, Glass Bunny, Coffee Table, Lemon Book, Woven Tray, Made for Living Book, Fabric Box (similar), Scalloped Plate, Pink Candle, Candle Snuffer}

I have been sitting in front of this fireplace all week! I don’t think I would survive in a seriously cold climate because we hit low 60’s and I’m wearing layers and pulling out my laptop in front of the fire to work.

{Concrete Planter, Artificial Flowers, Accent Rug, Flower Holder, Fake Tulips}

I need to finish my front porch this weekend but I did spruce up the dutch door on the side of our porch that opens into the mudroom! It was so dusty/dirty so I swept the porch and wiped this door clean and things instantly felt better.

{Concrete Planter, Artificial Flowers, Accent Rug}

My pretty white flowers are also part of Amazon’s spring sale! I have 12 in this pot for a full look. This is the medium sized pot in the set of 3 and it’s the perfect size for this corner.

{Concrete Planter, Artificial Flowers, Accent Rug}

Then I laid down this cute sage green accent rug (bought it back in December and I finally pulled it out!).

{Flower Holder, Fake Tulips}

But my favorite part is this cute flower holder I hung on the door!

{Flower Holder, Fake Tulips}

Black and white stripes for the win! Again. :) SO cute with white tulips inside right!? I bunched up a dish towel in the bottom to give the tulips a little height and love the way it looks. Colorful flowers would be pretty too!

{faux eucalyptus stems, santorini vase, ceramic footed bowl/similar bowl here, tondo rectangle serving board}

Sharing a few more home favorites that are part of the Amazon sale! I pulled these eucalyptus stems out this week.. love them. I have them in my kitchen window in a different vase at the moment that I’ll share soon! I like the way they effortlessly lay off to the side of any vase you put them in.

Checkered Runner

My new hallway rugs are on sale! I put this same runner in my upstairs laundry room and love it there too.

Checkered Runner, Faux Wreaths, Faux Black Olive Tree, Concrete Planter

Rechargeable Lights

Picking up a few more of these rechargeable lights for lamps throughout our home! Saying good-bye to annoying cords.

Rechargeable Lights, Similar Lamps

Crew Socks

My go-to every day socks are also on sale!

{Snack Boxes, Storage Bins, Egg Holder}

Fridge Favorites

Bag Storage Organizer, Plastic Wrap Organizer

This long time favorite bag storage organizer is also on sale! Never get tired of opening this drawer.

Travel Backpack

My backpack is on sale and thank goodness! I was long overdue for a new one. I have hauled this thing on all of our trips and stuffed it so full! It’s ready to retire. For $33 I’ll be toting a shiny new backpack around this spring. :)

Compression Packing Cubes, Slingback Heels

My favorite compression packing cubes are also on sale! Ignore the shoe.. only picture I could find with my packing cubes in it! (But shoes are also on sale.. ha.)

Cosmetic Bag

My travel make-up bag is also on sale and clearly I have travel on my mind! Ready for spring break around here. This make-up bag really is so good! When I click on the link it says “purchased 6 times” .. I have given it as a gift a lot!

Makeup Organizer

My girls’ makeup organizer is on sale and it comes in other colors too! I also love the pink and “crystal amber” version. I gave this to my girls for Easter last year with a few favorite make-up products inside.

Makeup Organizer

They loved it!

Bathroom Organizer

This is the organizer I was using for years and it’s also a great option. I’m just ready to not share with my husband (keeping the marriage in tact again.. ha). ;)

Sharing my Easter table this year! My girls will both be home for Easter so looking forward to a fun weekend with the family and a beautiful home cooked meal! Or take-out on a beautiful table. I’ll let you pick which one you think will be the case at our house. ;)

I was feeling soft pinks this year and love how it turned out. I used my pink magnolia branches for the centerpiece (they were so pretty for all of February too and are on sale right now! The vase holding them is also on sale.) I’m going to just leave my table set up through Easter because we can have dinner here a few times before and it’s pretty to walk by every day!

I ordered these eyelet plates last year from Anthro and this year I’m obsessed with their white bow plates! Anthro always has such cute plate options. I knew I wanted bunny ear napkin rings for Easter and found so many cute options I couldn’t decide so I ordered 3 to try! The first option is this burlap set. Adorable and they match my chargers. 

These cute white porcelain bunny napkin rings are option 2. So pretty with the gold inside the ears! I love them with white plates. 

And option #3 is this pretty gold set. All so cute right!? I still can’t decide! Which is your favorite? I’m leaning towards the white. Or the jute. Or the gold. ;) 

If choosing which bunny ear napkin holder we wanted to use for our Easter table was the biggest decision we had to make in a day life would be pretty good right!? Ha. 

{Flower Napkin Rings, Silverware (similar), Linen Napkins, Plates (similar),Blush Taper Candles, Bunny Candle Holders, Glass Bunny, Cake Stand}

Ok ONE more napkin ring option! I ordered these flower napkin rings for the wedding shower I’m hosting in a couple of weeks. Aren’t they pretty!? Love these too! After Easter I’ll switch the bunny napkin rings to these and my table will be set for spring/summer! 

{Bunny Napkin Rings, Silverware (similar), Linen Napkins, Plates (similar),Blush Taper Candles, Bunny Candle Holders, Glass Bunny, Cake Stand}

I love this pretty scalloped cake stand and the bunny candle holders I shared earlier.

I was going to add some grass and eggs and bunnies but it’s so pretty on its own that I might just leave it as is for a while!

{Bunny Napkin Rings, Silverware (similar), Linen Napkins, Plates (similar),Blush Taper Candles, Bunny Candle Holders, Glass Bunny, Cake Stand, Vase, Magnolia Branch, Bench (similar), Dining Chairs, Sideboard Table, Square Pendant, Linen Pillow, Textured Pillow, Jute Rug, Throw Blanket}

I took all of these pictures and then realized I forgot to set out the drinking glasses! Ha. I hope my guests aren’t thirsty. ;) At least I remembered the eggs and bunnies.

#priorities

Acrylic Vase Flower Holder, Pink Glassware

Last year I used these same plates and chargers and napkins and my pretty acrylic vase full of tulips for a centerpiece. AND these are my pink glasses that I’m using again this year.

Acrylic Vase Flower Holder, Pink Glassware

Just picture these glasses on my current Easter table and I’ll feel better. ;)

I hope this table gave you some ideas for spring and Easter dining this year!

Now I need all of you to give me some ideas for the meal. ;)

Happy Sunday! I hope you find some time to rest today! So many pretty dresses and fun spring finds in today’s round-up. I also found some cute affordable sandals and Easter decor. (Also my bracelet in the first collage is on sale!) I can’t believe Easter is right around the corner. How are we already over half way through March!? I feel like I just got my Christmas decor put away. Probably because I kind of did. Ha. ;)

Have a great start to your week!

Happy Saturday from our trail! Everything is so beautiful right now from all the rain we got last week! I hope things are getting warmer for all of you too.. sunshine brings out the best in all of us. :) On to today’s Saturday 6!

1 – EASTER BASKET FOR FRIENDS/TEENS

Easter Basket Gifts (ALL SOURCES)

This bunny basket is the cutest! I put together some fun little Easter baskets for my college girls and thought I would share what I’m giving them in case these ideas help with baskets you’re giving! I’m also thinking about giving a few of these bunny baskets to friends with some of these same products and a little chocolate. I tied a pink ribbon at the top and it makes a perfect gift for any loved one! (I linked the ribbon I used too along with some similar baskets in case this one sells out!)

These are the items inside – all products I personally love and beauty best sellers on Amazon! Plus some cute heart bookmarks and my favorite Amazon bracelets. You can’t go wrong with this line up. :)

2 – ORGANIZED BATHROOM DRAWERS

My bathroom drawers were next level bad and so overdue for a clean out! I usually clean and organize all bathrooms every January but I didn’t this year because my girls were home on break so long. I had so many new products piling up inside and finally just dumped everything on my bathroom floor so I could get things under control!

Organized Bathroom Drawers – SOURCES

Looking so much better!

{Favorite Hair Brush}

When I’ve lived with clutter inside my drawers for a while I crave simplicity and LESS. I have a lot of products I’m rotating and trying in my bottom drawer, but my top every day drawers are holding just the essentials and it feels so good! I won’t bore you will all of my organized drawers.. AGAIN. Ha. You can see what they all look like in this post along with organizer sources!

{Large Pill Organizer}

Also sidenote.. I started taking some fish oil supplements with my daily vitamin since I eat zero fish and the pills are so big! I couldn’t find an organizer that held them well until I found this one. It comes in other colors too! A random good find.

25 Piece Organizers

I gave my powder bathroom drawers a quick clean out too! Kole uses this drawer in the morning on his way out the door. I also added all the toothbrushes we’ve collected from dentist visits. Perfect to have on hand for guests who stay over! I used the organizers I shared in this blog post. LOVE them because they don’t move! They have grips on the bottom. I’m very temped to switch my bathroom organizers over to these but I need longer sizes. (Kole likes this hair paste.. there’s a teen boy Easter basket idea for you!) ;)

3 – BATHROOM RE-FRESH

Skin Care Favorites, Scalloped Towel, Makeup Brush Holder, Bathroom Counter Organizer

After I cleaned out my drawers I added some cute things for a little bathroom re-fresh! I had an organizer in the middle of my bathroom counter but Kenny kept using it too so I decided to try these little corner organizers for us so we can each have our own. I was mid organizing when I took this picture so I needed to add more, but it’s mostly to hold my favorites from Colleen Rothschild that I use daily. I’ve shared these items many times before and have been using them for years! My favorites are all linked HERE and for a short time you can get 20% off (on any products on her website) using the code ERIN20 at checkout! If you’re only going to try one thing try the Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream that is the first item I linked. It’s SO GOOD! Gets rid of dark circles and tired eyes. I love the complete eye cream too. And her Vitamin C! And the Sheer Renewal Cream (I put it on in the am before makeup). You’ve heard me talk about the hair mask for years (I love giving that as a gift too!).

Peek in my shower to see my beloved hair mask. Two of my friends gave me the Salt & Stone body wash and Rituals shower gel for my birthday. I’m loving them both! I’ve used Rituals before.. it smells amazing.

4 – SPRING COFFEE TABLE

Real Touch Fake Tulips

I’m still working on my coffee table and while I don’t know if I’ll add tulips on this table I do know these will be in my home somewhere! They are such a good faux tulip option! What I love about these is that the tulip bulbs are different sizes giving them a more realistic look. I ordered them in white and loved them so much I also ordered some in pink and purple. I’ll show you how I’m using them soon!

New favorite coffee table book! All things LEMON.

Coffee Table, Lemon Book, Woven Tray, Made for Living Book, Fabric Boxes, Fabric Boxes (similar) 

I got these pretty fabric boxes and the woven tray for Christmas this year and still need to style the tray for spring!

Faux Cherry Blossom Branch, Rattan Vase (similar) 

I put together this pretty arrangement with some long time favorite branches. They are so beautiful! They require no styling and just effortlessly hang to the side. Spring perfection! Not an option keeping them on our coffee table since we wouldn’t be able to see the TV.. ha.

5 – PILLOW LOVE

For Christmas I also splurged on this pillow cover I had my eye on for over a year! I don’t like spending a lot on pillows because I enjoy switching them up often. Target is usually my go-to pillow spot, but I couldn’t stop thinking about this one. The pattern was just too perfect for spring!

Pillow Cover, Pillow Cover Lookalike 

Last week I was looking for some other home items on Amazon and look what I found!? It’s a total lookalike for a fraction of the price! I felt such a mix of happiness and annoyance that I spent so much and didn’t need to! I love this pattern so much that I bought the Amazon set for my front living room in a larger size.

You can see that the tone is a little more pink/red than the other pillow which actually works well with this fun pink I’m bringing in. I love them!

I need to switch these two bottom throws for spring colors but I just added this cream throw on top and wanted to share it as another fun option for this time of year!

6 – SPRING TOPS

{Striped Polo Shirt, Anessa High Waist Jeans, Rag & Bone Sneakers, Butterfly Necklace}

I got some cute new things from Madewell for my birthday this year and this shirt is such a favorite! It’s relaxed and casual and green and striped. No surprise it came home with me. :) I ordered it in the ivory and black too! I sized down to a xxs.. Madewell sizes run big so I always size down one. Also my beloved favorite jeans are on sale! This light wash pair I wear more than any other pair of jeans I own which is saying a lot because I have an obsession with jeans and own more than I should. ;)

Happy spring! There are always so many fun events going on this time of year! Easter and birthdays and weddings and Mother’s Day. I’m putting together gifts for a few things and wanted some cute cards to go with them so I decided to make a variety that we can use throughout spring! ALL the occasions and even a hello spring if you just want to send someone a thinking of you gift!

{FREE SPRING GIFT TAGS}

I wanted larger cards.. some with more space for writing a note and some that I can just write a quick to and from. I was feeling spring flowers and aren’t the little chick and bunny the cutest for Easter gifts/baskets!?

I decided to also add smaller versions too if you just want to attach a small tag to a gift. I hope these are helpful! You can download everything for free HERE in my printable library.

(If you are already a subscriber to my blog sorry that you have to enter your info again! It won’t add you twice. Reply to a blog post e-mail if you have any issues and I can send you the printable link!) 

This is one of the cute spring gifts I put together. So excited about it! I bought this caddy last year and used it all the time for outdoor entertaining so when it came back in stock this year I picked up a few more for gifts. It looks cute holding napkins and utensils or organizing items in the kitchen or office.

I added items everyone can use in their home and the colors are so fun for spring! So cute right!? I have these washcloths in every bathroom in my home right now and the towels in my kitchen. I love this gift idea for someone getting married or moving into a new home too. Really it works for ALL occasions! If you don’t want to spend as much you can just gift the caddy and flower and a set of dishtowels. Or fill the caddy with other things – office supplies would be cute too! So many fun options. :)

While I was working on a video to share this gift on IG, a package arrived at my door and it was this cute throw I ordered! Made me laugh because it’s the SAME color as everything I pulled together here. Clearly I’m a fan! I bought it to lighten things up in my family room. Bring on the sunshine! Spring we are ready for you. :)

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good weekend! I’m loving this week’s round-up because everything is screaming SPRING! Home and fashion are so fun this time of year aren’t they!? All the pretty spring dresses and clothes come out and it’s time to make our homes feel lighter and brighter. I can feel a major spring cleaning spree coming on too! I love organizing and de-cluttering this time of year. I own or want to own everything I featured below! Ha. So many cute things. Have the best day! I’m going to make sure to relax, but also find some time to do a little prep before the week hits. I’ve found that if I prep some healthy snacks, plan my week and catch up on laundry Monday tends to feel a little less scary. ;) Enjoy your day!

{Button Blouse, Anessa Jeans, Tapestry Dress, Bracelet, Raffia Sandals, Hobo Bag, Sweet Bloom Dress, Crossbody Bag, Button Down Shirt}

{Green Top}

Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great week! Mine has been a little busier than usual so I’m sharing a few recent events instead of my usual Saturday 6 today. Lots of fun things coming to the blog next week too so I’m excited about that! I turned 48 on Tuesday. 48! I think I was around 30 when I started blogging so wow. Crazy how quickly time really does go by. We are all getting old! ;) Last weekend was beautiful weather here but the rain hit on my birthday and this week has been a wet and cloudy mess! It might have made for some not so good hair, but it didn’t stop us from celebrating. :)

{Green Top, Jeans}

My cute friends took me to lunch and totally spoiled me and honestly seeing all of their beautiful faces felt like such a gift! I love each of them so much. It can be hard to find time for friends when you are an adult right? Life is so busy with kids and work and all of the things that pull us in a million directions, but at the end of the day good friendships enrich our lives so much. Plus friends just make life FUN. I’m incredibly grateful for these girls and for all of you. My beautiful on-line friends. :)

I’m already loving a few new products my friends gave me so excited to share those soon!

Pizza Storage Container / Food Storage Containers

My original pizza b-day spot went out of business so we had to re-group and find a new one. There was so much pizza/salad leftover and they sent it all home with me (we have been eating pizza all week.. ha). I was so happy to have my pizza container! I fit a HUGE box of pizza inside. Total space saver.

Ad has been home for spring break all week and that also made my birthday such a treat this year! Heading out to celebrate together.

The absolute best when I can get my whole family together. It made me excited for this summer when my girls will both be home more! And when it’s not raining. ;)

Last weekend we threw a wedding shower for a close friend’s daughter and everything turned out so pretty! Sharing some pics in case you want to use these ideas for a shower or other party or event this year. I found this pretty welcome sign on Etsy that I downloaded and personalized and then I had it made into a poster at a local print place. Her colors are blue and white so it was perfect! We set it by the front door with a picture of the cute couple.

Isn’t this shell cake adorable!?

These buffet dishes were perfect to hold the food and keep everything warm!

We had a lot of the food catered but a friend of mine made the salad and it was delicious.

Outdoor Area Rug

We lucked out with beautiful weather so we set the tables up outside in my friend’s backyard.

{Area Rug, Table Runner, Glass Candle Holders, Clear Glass Candle Holders, Blue Candles}

We used my favorite acrylic vases for all of the flowers.. they make it so easy to put together pretty arrangements!

We also added these cute advice & wishes cards people could fill in on the table. My marriage advice was to always put each other first and to ignore the advice that says “never go to bed mad.” When it’s late and your feeling annoyed or frustrated with each other my advice is to go to bed and talk about it in the morning. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do for perspective. ;)

{Area Rug, Rectangle Floral Vases, Floating Frame, Table Runner, Glass Candle Holders, Clear Glass Candle Holders, Blue Candles}

ALL the drinks!

Thank You Print, Floating Frame,  Acrylic Floral Vase

We had this table set up with party favors for people when they left.

Thank You Print, Floating Frame

I got the thank you for coming sign on Etsy too and ordered a gold frame for it.

Cutest favors.. both last names start with M!

Dress (similar)

The bride to be with her mom and the party planning crew! So happy for her. I have watched her grow up and can’t help getting emotional at events like these! We were all just pushing our kids in strollers yesterday. Such a beautiful day. We are throwing another wedding shower in a few weeks at my house so no rest for the planning crew. ;)

Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be back soon with all things spring!
