My new endeavor

I'm sorry I've been so absent! I know, I always say that before vanishing again. I got so busy planning the wedding then actually having the wedding. I swear I'll share about it soon!

Lately though, it's my new business, LennonGrace that's been eating up my time. LennonGrace is a collaboration between my friend Ashley and myself. We both got married this year and enjoyed planning and creating our own weddings that we felt inspired to tap into our creative sides on a bigger scale.

We love all things wedding and baby and have started our boutique with infant headbands and my own favorite, pacifier clips! We've also done some wedding and shower favors and nursery art. I am loving this new adventure! Here is a variety of the stuff we've done so far.

Sorry, I have too many favorites! Please check us out on Etsy, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Instagram!

I got married!

I basically gave up blogging to wedding plan and Pinterest took over. It really would've made a lot of sense for me to blog as I planned and shared my thoughts and ideas, but that would've ruined the surprise of everything I did!

I'm anxiously awaiting our photos for our amazing photographer, then I hope to share a lot of the things I did to make our wedding magical.

In the meantime, here's some non professional photos:

Happy Valentines Day!

Hello Lovies!

Valentines Day is my favorite! Honestly, I might like it even more than Christmas.

I'm sure it starts with my incredible Mom (dad too) spoiling me as a child on Valentines Day. Ever year I got a new outfit, flowers from my Dad, and a gift from my Mom. I'm not talking some candy and a stuffed animal, I'm talking a big toy I'd been wanting or clothes and other girly stuff.

Well, that tradition still goes on, except I but my own outfit. 

T and I planned to go shopping before picking up some dinner, but the poor guy caught my awful cold and is staying home. I think I'm going to grab some Cheesecake Factory, moscato, and watch a movie with him this evening.

Here's some pictures from today's fabulousness. Oh, and my week of Valentine outfits ;)

The Valentines I sent my nieces and their fun envelopes, the valentines for my favorite coworkers (earrings, chapstick, and kisses), and a valentine from my wonderful friend.

2014 New Years Resolutions

Just in case you couldn't come up with any resolutions...

I meant to post these yesterday. You know, on New Years Day, but I was busy working on Resolution # 3. Here they are, in no real order:

#1 Stress less. I am not quite sure how to do this, but it's definitely something that needs to be done. I need to learn when to let go,  when to let things roll off my back, and most of all: realize that it's probably not worth the stress.

#2. Look incredible in my wedding dress, and stay that way.  I want to look and feel incredible in my wedding dress (what girl doesn't?!) and keep that awesome feeling long after the wedding. So this means eating healthier (no more cheese fries for dinner) and actually working out. The goal is to drink as much water as possible, load up on protein and veggies, and go to yoga more.

#3. Unplug with Tyler. Yup, less computer, iPhone, iPad, and more genuine time with T. Who knows, maybe we will start doing date nights.

#4. Manage my time better. This was on the list last year and it needs to be on the list again this year.

#5. Have the wedding of my dreams. Yea, I know, cheesy right? It's only once in your life that you get married in Ireland after all. So far, I've got this resolution in the bag.

#6. Read more. I LOVE reading, in fact, I think I've forgotten just how much I love reading. I feel like I just never have time anymore, but in reality I don't make time.

#7. Wear my Invisalign religiously. When I first got it, I was every Orthodontist's dream patient. Then like all things, that kind of fizzled out. I still wear them every morning and all night, but there's a good chunk in the middle of the day where I just...don't.
