A Bridal Shower

This past weekend I headed home to Virginia to celebrate my sisters bridal shower, for her upcoming wedding in May. I think the afternoon turned out beautiful, here are a few pictures.

Every set had a box of flowers as a "take home gift" and a coaster to write "advice" for the bride and groom. We also did a wine tasting from places Jill has spent time in, Northern VA (born and raised), Southern VA (where her wedding location is) and then NY (where she lives now). Nothing better then getting a little tipsy while someone opens presents, huh? :)

These cupcakes were DEEEEELISH!! and oh so pretty.

When you came into the room, we had people fill out notecards and then the bride had to guess the memory. This was my favorite game.

The pretty bride enjoying some tea.

Friends celebrating

While all the ladies were out showering our bride, the men went out and drank beers and did man stuff. That looks fun too!!

INTRODUCING!

It's happened, I have finally finished this project that I have been working on for what seems, forever! However, what felt like forever, really was 1.5 years, but, it was a lot. With that, I wanted to introduce you to my baby... 9Months!

Do you have a friend that is pregnant or a co-worker who just made the announcement? You want to get them something to celebrate this amazing time in their life, but, just don't know what to get? Well, I have the solution to all that! 9Months! OR, are you pregnant and feel left out of all the celebratory toasts and cheers going on around you and want to feel apart of the party? We have that covered with 9Months as well. JOIN THE CELEBRATION!

I'm most proud of this venture because a portion of all sales will be donated to the March of Dimes for healthy pregnancy's -- as most of you know, that is a huge part of my life and helping to prevent any woman going through what I did, would be amazing. No one should have to go through something so heart wrenching.

**Please feel free to post on your blogs if you feel! I'm happy to have people spread the word.

Lots of love,
Carrie

COMING SOON!

What's this!?

Pics on My Phone

Two weekends ago we went to Phoenix, AZ to visit Scottie's parents and went to a Suns game. We got the time wrong and ended up being there an hour early, but watched the players warm up, so we were happy. AND, they won to boot!

pretending we are the biggest Suns fans EVER -- but, I am a fan now... they were awesome to watch!

Visiting the Kirby's means you get the parents AND grandparents in on one trip! Big Kev ate too much pasta.

Uh oh... looks like Kirbo found a local softball team. Batting practice on a Sunday.

Putin on a Ritz

I saw that on the web this week and haven't stopped laughing at it!

 

WOW!

Useful Beard

Designer Michael Allen spent nearly two years shaving his facial hair into every letter of the alphabet. The result is Alphabeard Beardface, a typeface made from high contrast photos of his facial hair.

I of course, think this is AWESOME!

(might be a little upset my huzbo and I didn't think of it first) 

Weekend WrapUp

Oh, It's Monday again... it just sneaks up on you, huh?

So, while its here and the sun is shining, I'm going to be OK with it. Maybe just this once. :)

So, this weekend was a lot of walks since it was WARM and absolutely gorgeous out. We made our way to Tanglewood Park which is located near us in a town called Clemmons. Its a gorgeous park filled with walking paths, backpacking, horse trail riding and mountain biking.

I work from home now and I'm trying to get used to the quiet of it all. I'm that person that does not love to work from home. I prefer to be around people and having someone to talk to. With that said, we've been working on my "office" and its nearly finished. I will have to share maybe next week. In the meantime, here's a picture of that little pup that HATES when I sit behind my desk. He'd rather me hold him or play with him. He sure is CUTE though.

 

I woke up this morning with THIS on my desk from the Huzbo. Isn't that the BEST surprise ever? Winston Salem is the home of the original Krispy Kreme and it's headquarters is here too. When that red light is on (Hot Donuts Ready), its hard to keep driving past, but, 9 times out of 10 we do. I guess Kirbo couldn't resist today! And, just so you know... it was SOOOOO good.

 

Have a great day, friends.

Friday Tunes

Angel Olsen: "Hi-Five"

 

 

 

I'm loving the old sound of Angel Olsen's "Hi-Five". The quote from Pitchfork summarizes it perfectly with, "has got to be one of the most cheerful songs ever written about being lonely."

 

Hope you enjoy.

 

Happy Friday, friends!
