Sam’s Bridal Shower
In addition to a “wild” bachelorette party, the bridesmaids joined forces with Leticia, the mother of the bride, to put together a bridal shower in honor of Sam at Park Avenue Bar & Grill. I found these invitations on Etsy and was instantly sold. They had the perfect vintage feel, which we infused throughout the […]
Same Weekend, One Year Apart

After reading Carolyn’s review of The Cuckoo’s Calling, I’m even more excited to pick up the book – […]
Sizzling Summer Pinterest Party
It has been a busy summer, to say the least. Bobby and I have been away from home every weekend since June 28. Our travels have taken us to Minnesota, Washington D.C., Chicago and Kansas City. More on the latter in my next post – with said travel comes a bit of a delay in […]
