{Friday Finds} Beautiful Parties

August 27, 2011 2 Comments Uncategorized

I’m working hard on getting my blogging act together again…

but, finding the time to pick up a computer has been difficult.

(BTW… tips on how to care for an infant with a cold are very much appreciated!)

I have been enjoying reading through the many blogs I follow on the reader on my phone.

And, there are some beautiful parties being featured out there in the blogosphere right now!

So, I wanted to share some of the events that caught my eye.

Have you seen the Secret Garden Party from Nicole of Tradewind Tiaras? (Pictured Above) The gorgeous backdrop she created is jaw-dropping. I can’t wait to read her tutorial on that and the other elements of the party… which will be going up all week!
I was THRILLED when I saw this Cherry Blossom baby shower featured on Oh Baby! Custom Shower Decor Blog… the cherry blossom theme really looked gorgeous in a pink and grey color scheme. But, on top of it all, one of the party elements used the tutorial that I have up at Hostess with the Mostess! I’m so excited to see it used in a party.
Speaking of Hostess with the Mostess… the Wonderlandia coverage is SUPERB! Each of the beautiful party tables featured were out of this world. Check out the blog today to enter to win some amazing Wonderland-themed party supplies!
Bhldn.com has six different table themes beautifully pictured with purchasable elements on their sit! Any of these themes would be simple to recreate for any party and would certainly be eye-catching! (Thanks to Creature Comfort’s Blog for the heads up!)

{August Break} Sweetly Sleeping

August 19, 2011 3 Comments Uncategorized

I am currently participating in The August Break (an idea from Susanna Conway)— If I had known about this BEFORE setting up some posts already for this month I would have totally done this the entire month of August! But, instead I’m going to be doing this sort of in and out this month. Days I don’t have posts lined up (or am feeling incredibly lazy, pregnant or exhausted from new baby) I will participate in The August Break and leave up a photo on the blog for my post that day.

Today is one of those days. 🙂

Such a sweetie when he is sleeping!

{Mommy Monday} I’m a mom

So, in case you were wondering where I was this past week… my little guy is here!

I went into early labor at 3 AM four full days before my little guy was born… I was in early labor for a LONG time and didn’t hit active labor until about 2 days before the kiddo was born…it was a LONG and hard labor.

Nothing went “too plan” but everything ended up working out great because our son is beautiful and healthy.

We had wonderful doctors and nurses who took great care of us and took my wishes into consideration every step of the way. I’m so very happy with my experience.

I’m so in love with him.

I’m just getting used to being a parent… so, please bare with me and the blog in the following weeks.

I do have several awesome guest posts, real parties and a couple of fun tutorials in preparation for this time. But, I still need to load them all in and get them ready for publication!

I’m so in love with him.
