Bridal Shower Inspiration

I am throwing a Bridal shower in August for my dear friend, Amanda. And so I have been brainstorming for awhile about the essential things I feel are necessary for this bridal shower to be what I think of as successful.

Key things I need to make sure it is a blast are:

1. Patterned table cloths

2. signature cocktail

3. yummy dessert table

4. summer salads

5. festive games.

So these are the essentials.

Any suggestions or advice??



worst blogger award

I'm so sorry about never blogging!

See, I have about a bazillion things going on and most nights I get home and just crash. I am going to make it up to you though! I am going to blog everyday this week! And hopefully every day from now on... I gotta build it into my schedule because blogging really is an incredible stress reliever and creative outlet for me. So while I am working really hard at my job right now, I need to take the time to blog and get my creative juices going as well.

So.. I'm Sorry! I promise to do better!

Ahhhhhh!

Erik and I just bought tickets to see Harry Potter at Midnight and I CANNOT WAIT!!!! I loved all the books and all the movies and I am just so excited... that I can hardly breathe... 

AH AH AH AH!!!

YAYYYY!

Weekend Adventure: Gearhart, OR

Erik and I got really lucky and got to have a 4 day weekend over the fourth! So on Thursday night when I got off work, we headed down to the beach in Gearhart, Or! It is so beautiful and quiet there. We build a bonfire and drank some wine on the beach the first night and just got to chat and be a couple. It is so nice to have time to just be with the person you love! 

The next day we went to Moe's for lunch then played Bochee on the beach. It was super fun! We set up camp and just relaxed on the beach. It was pretty amazing weather for the Oregon coast, getting to about 70 in the afternoon.

Then, our friends Amanda and Tyler came down and we had another bonfire and just chatted.. (after the boys had to figure out how to get in the beach house since I accidentally locked the keys inside.. oops). Then the next morning we got some yummy breakfast at the Mcmenamins Sandtrap then headed into Seaside for the parade, some arcade gaming, and some beers.

All in All... AMAZING WEEKEND. Wish I was there now...

Happy 4th of July!
