Iz Snowed In!!

Brrrr!!!! It’s cold round these parts and terribly snowy. Dog is so much smarter than me and refused to hang out in the snow. Here’s what it looks like in my neck of the woods.

Vitamin Power

On Tuesday, November 23rd I took my first prenatal vitamin. <<cue dramatic music>> Do not be alarmed citizens! I'm just trying to grow my hair out. An internet birdie told me about it. Let's see what happens. I'm now 30 days in and I'm not sure if it's working. I have 100 pills in the bottle so this experiment will continue for another two months. Of course I'll be updating the blog with my progress or lack thereof. Welcome to my first update

Sticker shock!

That’s an understatement. I just got my first florist quote today and to say it’s over my budget is putting it mildly. Now I’ll confess, my ideas are a bit over the top. I have a very particular vision for the reception. Because of this very particular vision I’m keeping it simple for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

Not to keep you in too much suspense. . .

I opened the proposal and scrolled down to look for the total. Oh, 6 grand. Okay, over budget but not too bad I guess. Wait, why does that say deposit amount? Does she want me to deposit the full amount? Hmmm… if that’s not the total. . .

Holly hell muffins! 

She said in the email that it was considerably over my budget.  

Yeah to the tune of $20,000. That’s pronounced twenty thousand doll hairs. As my friend Pippa would say: "That’s a whole lot of doll hairs!"

Maybe I need to consider:

a) scaling back my vision

b) getting another quote

c) figuring out how we can do this ourselves

d) balloons

Thoughts?

Light in the Box

Mumsie is amazing! She found this website called Light in the Box and she’s over the moon about it. Look at all of the fun stuff she’s bought already. Don't mind the horrible personal photos mostly taken by me. I wasn't prepared for the onslaught of wedding goodness when I went over to visit. Don't mind our decidely casual/frumpy house clothes. On with the show!

bridal clutch

I can’t remember where I was first introduced to Emma Gordon. Perhaps, it was from my London loving peanut. Anywhos, I just adore these clutches. They would make for adorable bridesmaids' gifts. She can customize them to go with your wedding colors. Plus, if you just want one for yourself…she’s having a sale.

Here are some of my favs:

I’m Your Biggest Fan!

The guest experience is a big deal. As a couple our goal is to make sure our guests have a great time and that they feel special and well taken care of. Sick of my crazy ideas yet? Well too bad! Mwhahaha. I’ve got another one.

What if. . .

Yeah I'm a Nut!

If you haven't quite guessed yet I'm a bit of a loon. Which is okay because hey everybody can't be sane. Here's the latest: I’m starting to work on my invites. I can’t really tell you too much cause it’s super secret until I send them out. In any event I ordered some sample boxes. Yep, I’m doing boxed invitations. I ordered some samples from usbox.com. Of course being the Mensa member that I am I mis-entered my mailing address. I get confused. It happens. Don’t judge!
