Decisions, decisions

Hello Hello! So here’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods- this past week I was asked to move full-time for the next few weeks in order to complete an anxiety curriculum for our Intensive Outpatient program. It needs to be done on Monday (yikes!) but I’ve been able to complete all but one class. In the meantime I’ve been working with Natasha on some wedding details.
You’ll be glad to know she’s made some breathtaking decisions. She chose this garter to keep and is buying a cheaper garter to throw. She and Bart have also decided to use a kissing ball for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring-bearer, a vintage style suitcase for the cards and this advice book for the sage advice.

It’s really coming together! I’m so excited for their big day, but there’s definitely some more organizational work required and it’s not exactly the kind that’s fun to share- unless you all would like to see schedules and lists. I thought not. OH! Also- we snagged an amazing Groupon for Faboo cakes which allowed us to get a totally awesome, fiscally conservative custom wedding cake. SCORE! They were so super nice too and allowed Natasha to use the Groupon for her November wedding, a month before they had allowed in the fine print. Kind people are the best kind of people to work with.
I’ve been checking out some custom/fun wineglasses for possible bridesmaid gifts and I really love the whole Lolita line. I’ve gotten one before and they are just so cool! However, Wine Diva also rocks. I’m throwing a Halloween party at the end of October and I’m thinking about giving away either a Halloween pilsner and/or wine glass to the best dressed. Maybe I’ll do a wine glass for the best-dressed female and a pilsner for the best-dressed male? Okay- back on track. My last suggestion for adorable wine glass gifts- anything from the WINEGLASSESDECORATED Etsy store. The owner is super-nice and really her handiwork is impeccable.

My to-do’s this week? Find a rehearsal dinner location. I’ve got a few ideas in mind but if you have had or have seen an awesome Nashville rehearsal dinner- please let me know! I love suggestions.
Lastly- I’ve been working on my photography some and I feel like it’s time to start sharing! We got a tripod yesterday so Josh and I ran out to take some quick family photos. Here’s my favorite of the day-

Hope you all are having a fantastic Sunday!

Dog Days of Summer

Well, my acrylic stamps didn't happen to work out on the cookies, but I found a purpose for them. I was practicing dipping Oreos in white chocolate when I got the bright idea to stamp them. I tried a few different methods, but my husband had the winning idea. Take a look. My methods- leaving the stamps in the white chocolate while it dried, using a greased stamp (gross, don’t do it), and using a stamp on nearly hardened white chocolate The winning method (eh hem- Josh’s method), putting the stamp in the white chocolate then freezing the cookie That man is a genius! I think they turned out super cute. I can’t wait to use this for a party. I’m kind of a sucker for my dogs so I was actually thinking about hosting a dog’s day out. If not, then I’ll probably keep this in my back pocket for Optimus’ birthday. Like I said- I’m a sucker for my dogs.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

First of all….Can you name the seven dwarfs? Just try it. Kills me every time.Okay moving on. Of course today’s party I’m working on a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs themed party. I think I would start by setting up a little “forest” for the kids to walk through on the way in- complete with either stuffed or cardboard cut-out animal bunnies, chipmunks and deer. Little birds (most likely paper) would be hanging from the door frame. I’d be going for this kind of feeling (but with the princess not so sad let’s hope!) I would love to have a dress up station with a nod to “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Maybe something like this but more down to earth like this . Of course there would need to be apples galore. Candied apples? Carmel apples with a carmel apple decorating station? Rice crispy treat apples ? Donut hole mini apples ? Oh the options. (I also looove the Snow White cut-out in the mirror- adorable). Some sort of poison potion (with dry ice) would be super cute too. Maybe...

The Daniel Fast

When Josh and I moved back to Bellevue this summer we joined a new church, Zeal, which we really love. We've felt more challenged there to really engage, and twice a year the church as a whole focuses on 21 Days of Prayer. In January we fast during the 21 days, andre encouraged to give up something we feel hinders our focus (Instagram, sweets, etc.) We chose to do the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is based on the following verses... “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink." Daniel 1:12   In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks" Daniel 10: 2-3 So basically, we've been eating a vegan, gluten-free, no sugar or sweetener-added foods for the past 11 days. We don't have fried foods either as they're 'rich', but we do have whole grains. We drink 100% juice and wat...
