Happy Friday + Life Update

Friday has fianlly arrived - hello weekend!!
My goodness, this short week has been jam-packed for me work-wise! I'm so sorry I've totally been MIA. With wedding things in the evening (ave the dates going out Monday!), I have been a bad little blogger.

This weekend I will have plenty of time to let me creative juices flow and get back to my love affair with blogging

Let's move on to the weekend, shall we?

My mom and dad are driving up for a weekend in Kansas City today. I can't wait to see both of them, and get in some much needed fam time. It's been a long time since we've had a whole wide-open weekend to whatever we feel like, so I am very excited to host them (and their puppy Millie!) for a few days!!




It's been a while... how 'bout a quick catch-up sesh?


{ Life Update }


1) Wedding pallooza is in full swing!
Bridesmaids dresses are getting ordered, had tons of cake tastings (still can't decide!), florist and DJ are booked, and hotel blocks are almost done - amazing!

2) Our save the date postcards are going out to close friends/fam this week!
We're so excited! Love the way our style and aesthetic came through.... but my hand is seriously permanently crampy from addressing a bajillion of those guys!

3) I have an unhealthy addiction to Honey Boo Boo...
If you haven't caught the show yet, it is hilarious. I found myself cracking up while I was by myself in my living room. We're talking full blown laughter... pretty sure Bella Beast thinks I'm crazy!

4) My poor sweetie has the flu bug :(
It's been a pretty crazy/tough last month for him, and now he's got the flu. Poor guy deserves a break! Not to mention I just want my hugs and snuggling back, but we had a strict 6 foot radius at all times last night.

5) I desperately need to get in the gym.
Weight loss and exercise plans for fumbled when I had my 2 week long wisdom teeth saga. Why is it that when you get out of your gym habit, it's so hard to get back into it? *sigh* Must find time to gym this weekend. Dress arrives in December... woah.

6) Loving this cooler weather - hello fall!
I'm craving all fall things... boots, scarves, warm tea, pumpkin goodies, fall baking - you name it, I love it.

7) Engagement photos our next week...
...and I need your help! Still no idea of what to wear. Check out my engagement photo Pinterest ideas and let me know what you like!!

What are you crazy kids up to this weekend? Any fun plans? Anything you've been craving to do/creat/bake/see?

Go have yourself a crazy awesome weekend! Peace out, homies...

Save the Dates + Wedding Update

A few of you sweet thangs have been checking in on me and asking how wedding planning is going. Well, aren't you dears! I figured I would fill in all of you curious friends as I share our save the date postcards!

I have been working with the fabulous D.H. Fitzgerald Designs on Etsy to create our very own version of their State Save the Dates.

I absolutely love modern, funky designs! Although I think satin ribbon, scripty font, and pearl sheen invites are very pretty, they are just not "us".

So we are breaking out the Crate & Barrel-esque design in mustard yellow (my fave color... obvi) and charcoal... I love them!



Although they are still a work in progress, and this is only one of the first drafts, I couldn't be more excited!



Here is a generic image of the back of the postcard. Fonts will be changing to match our design.
