The Wanna Be Bride – 1 Week To Go

What a ride this last eight months has been. It’s almost sad to see it all end, but so exciting that something new is about to begin. I stood out with my parents on the porch this morning envisioning with them the whole layout for the wedding night. It will be beautiful, full of lights, [...]

Organizing Our Wedding Week

 Nine day’s until our backyard wedding takes place. It is starting to get a bit overwhelming so I decided it was time to create a list for each day next week.  I call these my “Today Pages”.  At the top of the page will be the day and on the left side will be time of [...]

Mother Of The Bride ~ Dress Shopping

Well, let’s just get something out in the open right now… I dislike clothes shopping, maybe loathe might be a better word.  I waited as long as I could to purchase my dress. Everyone was asking “have you got your dress yet” no, not yet I’d answer. Gasp!  Well?…
I did try on dresses at Davids Bridal [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 3 Weeks To Go

It’s hard to believe that in 19 days I’m getting married! The wedding day seemed so far off for so long.  Now when we are only days away, it’s more like a dream than a reality.

When My mother-in-law suggested we plant the Hyacinth Bean plant I should have guessed by the [...]

Landscape Flower Containers – Take Four

These treasures were passed down to me from my Aunt Agnes. She passed away last year at the age of 90. I think she would be happy to see her old pots and pans filled with Marigolds scattered around my yard.
I gave them all holes in the bottom, and put them in beds where they would [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 6 Weeks To Go

Our DJ bailed on us! My mother timidly entered my room a few days ago to give me the news. What he originally told my fiance and I, which I heard very clearly, was that he would love to DJ our wedding. What he told my mother on the phone, and later reiterated to my [...]
