The Time I Was Mom for a Weekend!

The Time I Was Mom for a Weekend:

This was such a great weekend. I had my eldest nephew come for a visit in Auburn for a weekend.  Just me and my chunky monkey. I was so excited to show him the ropes of auburn and what a great place it is. First, however, I took him to his first Braves baseball game ever in Atlanta. It took him a while to catch on that he wasn't at a movie but at a game:) That tuckered the little guy out pretty fast but he had such an amazing time. 

The next day we went to Hickory Dickory Park, which I must say is the most amazing kid park I've ever seen. There was so much to do and he just kept saying over and over "I love Hickory Dickory Park Macmac". After that we got some yummy cheeseburger cheeseburger, got our picture in front of the Auburn sign and shopped around a little downtown. 

Yea my little man had a great time and so did I!

Wedding Flowers!

Wedding Flowers:
Here's you something funny, I don't know a thing about flowers but got to do some for a wedding here a while back. I would love to know what you think about them.

First we ordered a ton a flowers from Sam's we were amazed at how beautiful they were!

We bought water foam, it absorbs water and then when you stick the flowers in it its like sticking them in water. It helps keep your flowers alive longer.

Next we taped a few of them to white bowls to do a few flower arrangements in there.

Others we taped onto a plate and made arrangements and placed them on top of beautiful glass jars.

With these we tied them into bouquets and placed them in smaller glass containers filled with water.

We used giant white urns with large Styrofoam taped down and put both real and fake flowers in them. This piece is what sat behind the bride and groom during the wedding. I would love to know what you think, or any tips you might have for next time!

Summer Break?

Summer Break?
Okay I just gotta tell you, this is a much needed break! This semester was tough, like insanely tough! After almost failing all of my classes and still having no clue what I got out of any of my classes... I AM TIRED. The semester completely overwhelmed my life, which meant no friends, no blogging, just school... I tried to keep up with social things but the blogging had to stop for a while. 

After a management teacher who only taught about becoming a feminist, a macro teacher who said no book or slides just notes... (This cannot be done by the way) a marketing teacher who tested on different material than what he taught, and finally one amazing teacher... I needed a break.

My summer goals: Make a great nanny (I so far have the best two boys ever), Catch up on blogging again, and enjoy life.

Gorgeous Wedding Decorations!

Gorgeous Wedding Decorations:
Over the weekend my mother and I did a wedding. Id love to hear your thoughts!

Stay Fabulous!

Stay Fabulous:

Getting ready for Memorial Weekend and pulling together all of my outfits to rock at the beach. I can't even begin to express my excitement about summer being here! One thing I am mostly excited about rockin' this weekend is my new necklace and ear rings. I love their edgy, yet classy look. I feel like they go good with any outfit.

How to Take a Break on the Weekends!

How to Take a Break on the Weekends:

Hey y'all! 
So I've been super busy this semester with school and trying to stay on top of things. So busy that I go a week without blogging very often now :O. So I'm trying to catch up a little bit with life by taking breaks when and where ever I can find time to....

Thankfully my amazing college has different events scheduled every week for free! The latest one I was apart of was a free concert. Lil' Jon, Rae Sremmurd, and Natalie La Rose all preformed. Not to mention our mascot Aubie got up and danced. 

It was the break I needed and I encourage you that when your feeling overwhelmed to just stop for a minute and take a break. Go do something fun with a good friend, and let your hair down. 

Have a great break!

Try it on Tuesday!

Try it on Tuesday:

This is a new dress of mine that I'm obsessed with! It's so different than what I am used to seeing, which is of course why I had to get it. The back is probably my favorite part of the dress. I also am usually very picky about patterns however, this one was just too cute!

Happy Tuesday!

Try it on Tuesday!

Try it on Tuesday:

So the other night I went to dinner with my friend of 17 years. Being a girl who loves fashion I chose this simple yet cute outfit. A simple tank top with my white cover shaw, skinny ripped jeans, sandals, and a few accessories. Never feel like you have nothing to wear, there just might be a hidden outfit in your closet;)

Happy Tuesday!

A Second Chance!

A Second Chance:
What do you think?
Do you think everyone deserves a second chance? Of course this could be taken in many ways. My second chance came in College when I was given the chance to be who I am and not who others made me be. Do not misunderstand, I was never the girl who wanted to be like everyone else and fell into peer pressure. Ugh still to this day I can't stand trying to be like everybody else, why would I? In my opinion Im Great! I like me, I find myself super funny and very entertaining....

You see in high school I was homeschooled, (side note: Home schooling is awesome! and I turned out totally normal...)  Growing up I was shy and quiet, however I out grew that sophomore year in high school, yet no one would know that because everyone still treated me as the shy, quiet (homeschooled) girl. Oh but college was my chance, my big break! 

My friends today laugh at me when I say I was shy and quiet, or better yet... homeschooled. Their response is always "But you're so normal!" haha. But its great being myself and everyone letting me be just that! 

Enjoy your second chance today!
