My First Fourth with You

What a great fourth we had this year, every year my family and I get together to remember those who lost their lives and spend time with our grandfather who risked his. This year was the first year I got to spend the fourth with a special someone. It was so much fun having him join in in the family traditions. We start off the day at the Pike road Parade at my grandparents house then head over to ours for a swim and always end the day with fireworks out at the Waters.

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.

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.
