Summer Weddings...

Christine and I

The lovely couple!

Matt and his boys dancing!

Brooke, Christine, and I


are my favorite! I just love the idea of two people madly in love, beautiful flowers, cute summer dresses, and great food.

Our friends John and Lindsay got married in Rock Hill, SC this past Saturday. Matt was a groomsman so I got to sit with my friend Brooke. The reception was at Winthrop in a beautiful hall. It was absolutely gorgeous with all the light coming in through the windows. Lindsay looked like the perfect bride!

We all of Matt's childhood best friends there, it was a wild time. The boys were all grooving and being there typical selves! I can't wait for us all to get together again.

Sex and The City 2 ?

Blogger friends... I need your help!

I have not been able to see the Sex and the City sequel yet! I am dying! Please let me know if it worth the hype. I need to be put out of my misery!

Close up (not a good one, but I tried!)


After seeing these beauties up close on my good friend Ashlee over at Pretty in Pink, and Orange too! I knew it was love at first sight. I did not go get them right away because Ashlee said she had to wait MONTHS to get them. I eventually forgot about them, but them I found them again. My good friend over at The Cobia Family got some as well! I went out that day and ordered them from Handpicked. I will be sporting them at a friend's wedding this weekend. I can't wait to show them off!

I heart weddings !

My fam, Matt, and I ventured to the great state of Wisonsin for my cousin Jenny-Rae's wedding. She looked absolutely beautiful on her special day. Her and her husband Matt are such a cute couple. I am beyond happy for them!

The wedding was a gorgeous wedding with a cocktail hour following and then a sit down dinner. There was great music, dancing, and love. Here are some of the pictures I managed to get!

Can a birthday be celebrated a month late?

Since I was on a short leave of absence from the blogging world... I didn't get to share my birthday party with you! Here are some pictures of the party my sweet hubby threw at our house! Welcome, come stay awhile...

My sister came all the way down from Clemson! I was so excited to play with her!


Matt doing the Captain pose with my good friend Sandy's baby, Reece. He barely let anyone else hold Reece... can we say baby fever much!?!?


Mary and Christine relaxing on the deck. Mary made such to take Reece from Matt and get her baby turn in!


Ashlee even made the party too! I wish her "friend" could have made it too! She is such a sweet girl and always there for my special occasions!


These red velvet cupcakes were a birthday gift from Matt. He actually went blog hunting and found someone to make me personalized cupcakes. I can't ask for a sweetest husband! The cupcakes were heaven in my mouth!

I'm BACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!!!

Just for the record I am back blogging world. Oh how I have missed you!

Oh baby baby! I love the smell of this...

Brown Sugar Body Scrub!

I am going to be visiting Matt's family this weekend to celebrate his sister Hannah's graduation. I hate going somewhere without bringing something so I decided to make a body scrub for his mom. It turned out so yummy, I had to stop myself from eating it... literally!

Here's what I needed:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup regular sugar
cinnamon
vanilla extract
olive oil


1. First mix the sugars together, mush any lumps out. Yes, really mush it good!


2. Add a pinch and a dash of cinnamon.

3. Add a splash of vanilla extract for some tastiness

4. Add 3/4 cup of olive oil

5. stir it all together then store in a cute airtight container.


I just had to add the bow! They are ready to be given as gifts! I hope the MIL likes it as much as I do! Trust me, if you make some you will be addicted to!
