Easter Weekend Recap

Ello Ello!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter weekend filled with tulips and chocolate covered Peeps

and bright colors and Easter egg hunts and honey glazed ham! 

Or was that just me? 

Spring is officially the cutest season ever and I was taking full advantage.

Here's a quick recap!

Saturday night was spent crafting Easter goodies (in a jar!) for my niece and nephew.

And okay mayybeee polishing off a bottle of Southern Red?

Sunday morning we awoke to this darling alarm to get our butts up

and start getting ready for Easter service.

Then THIS beauty of an Easter basket greeted me when I walked

into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

I have been obsesssingggg over the "Southern Darlin'" tees & koozies

they just started carrying at A Cut Above, a local boutique here in town.

I still can't believe Bryan even step foot in that store. Proud wife moment!

Find the "Trophy Wife" tee here!

...aannddd it didn't stop there.

I could not WAIT to give Bryan his man basket.

I would say a step up from last year's.

Just what every fishin' guy needs! 

(Seriously this was so much fun to make.)

Did you think we would forget about Jake?!

He wasted no time in pulling out the only thing he actually cared about- the duck.

Pay no mind to the sweet little biscuit that was tied with an Easter bow.

Mom came over later that morning, we snapped an obligatory Easter photo

in our obnoxious outfits. Then, off to church we went.

After church we poured ourselves a glass of champs, stuck a Peep on it

and voila! You have yourself an Easter cocktail!

My parents and Bryan's family came over for Easter dinner and I

stuck to my usual job of setting the table.

I seriously love a good tablescape.

I swear I missed my calling as "professional table setter."

I had been Pinteresting (that's a word, right?) Easter tablescapes

all week and I was ready to set my linen napkins on fire during the process

of figuring out how to fold them into bunny ears.

Next year, bunny ear napkins, next year.

DIY Easter Garland

Happy half way through the week PEEPS.

Yes. That was a tad cheesy... I can't help it.

But speaking of Easter!

Let me share this super quick DIY with you.

My SWEET, beautiful niece, Claire, celebrated her 3rd birthday this past weekend,
so after I share a recap on that I PROMISE I will be getting around to wedding festivities.
On an even more exciting note, we should have all of our photos back by the end of this week.
Contain your excitement.

Last weekend we started painting Bry's office which meant a trip to Lowe's.

Lowe's does NOT suck lately. Either I'm hitting the early stages of

growing-up-syndrome or I'm starting to lose it but I love a good Sunday trip to Lowe's.

A trip to Lowe's meant.. PAINT SAMPLES! 

When life hands you sample paint swatches, you start Pinteresting.

However, life did not hand these paint samples to me.
I went to each and every shade of color and grabbed handfuls and quickly shoved
them into my purse like a sketch ball. Bryan was in the process of having the paint mixed
and looked over at his klepto wife and said, "We are NOT painting anything in the house
that shade of yellow." The deer in headlights look must have been an instant giveaway to
the man helping him, "Ma'am, those are free. You're fine."
Caught. 

Anyhow, swallow your pride and go in and grab yourself some dang paint samples.
Apparently, yes, they are free.
I printed a template of an egg and traced and cut out each one.
You can either hole punch or hot glue them to your ribbon or twine
(I hot glued because my hole puncher was too big so they would be sliding everywhere).
Voila!
An ADORABLE, practically free Easter DIY!

Enjoy!

Holy Shenanigans: Multiple Weekend Updates!

Can we saaayyy M-I-friggin-A?

To say that I have been literally non-stop over the past month

would be an understatement. I have been a busy, busy BEE!

Let's start with Easter weekend and Bry's "man Easter basket."

I had seen this little gem ALL over Pinterest and could not wait to make Bryan's.

This fabulously classy little basket included all of his faves- 

fishin mag, scratch offs, Peeps, Axe, Little Debbie Easter cakes gag.

Ok who am I kidding? They're delicious.

Red Bull and of course an obnoxious amount of candy.

Annndddd the rest of the weekend was spent on the boat.

The way most weekends should be spent, in my opinion. :)

We'll just have to fast forward through the next weekend

which was Claire baby's 2nd Birthday party.

That little shindig will be on the blog this week for

the SPD link up.

Let's seeee what ELSE has been going on round these parts ?

Sorry in advance for the photo dump...

1. Blue Martini for Shan's Bday! Woo Woo!!

2. A little DIY project for my Bro & Sis-in-Law's new home

3. Lot's of new purchases! One of which being

this baby- monogram, chevron infinity scarf from Very Jane!

4. Andddd some new kicks.

5. BEYOND obsessed with these candles from BBW.

I mean honestly. Someone get this girl on a vacation.

6. Boat day and His & Hers Columbia shirts 

Spppeaakingggg of vacation... 

Guess whose going to Punta Cana in a few months?

THISSS GIRL!

Bry & I found a killer deal on Living Social for a 4 night all inclusive 

stay at The Sanctuary. Needless to say I have started a live countdown.

We are in desperate need of a vacation. 

I mean a phones off, toes in the sand, drink in hand kinda vacation.

We really haven't been anywhere since Boston last November. 

I know it SEEMS like we're constantly on vacation.. especially with views like this:

BUTTT don't be fooled. Work sometimes just looks a little like vacation. 

We had to head down to Palm Beach this past weekend for

the NACDS event at The Breakers.

I won't lie- I DID have to squeeze in a little fun while I was down there. :)

Alriiiight I'll stop dragging on about shopping and vacations

and tequila shots and let everyone get back to their Mondays.

Don't forget to swing by again this Thursday for Claire's bday recap!
