Countdown

Y'all, we seriously have less than one month until the wedding! Where did the time go??? I am  sitting here with my to-do list (24 items) and don't even know where to begin. I feel like I need two solid days by myself to *sanely* go through this list and cross every single stupid fabulous item off. It's officially here: Frazzled Bride Syndrome.


While I try not to pull my hair out, I do want to give a shout out to my fabulous coworkers for throwing me a bridal shower at school yesterday! Candice, Beth and Mary prepared a delicious spread, yummy cake and cute bridal decorations all in honor of me...love those gals! Also, a shout out to my principal for cutting and serving cake....who says men don't attend bridal showers?!





I am going to try to spend the next two hours working on wedding related stuff 
(unless of course another episode of Game of Thrones sucks me in), 
so hopefully I won't lose too much hair in the next few weeks. 

Cheers to gettin' hitched!

Fabulous Fall Flats

I don't know about y'all, but when it comes to fall/winter weather, I live in flats and flat boots. Especially being a teacher, comfort and fashion are important and it is so much easier to wear flats to work than heels when you are on your feet all day. I browsed Lulus, DSW and Dollhouse for some cute, yet affordable fall flats.

Brookwood Shower

A few weeks ago, my moms teacher friends hosted me a shower for all the Brookwood teachers. These are the women that I grew up around as I spent so much time at Brookwood over the years. They were so instrumental in my family's lives and have been a constant source of encouragement, support and love. Thank y'all for a wonderful time full of love, laughter and tears!

Fall into Fall: My Home

Sunday, I packed up my Spring and Summer decor to make way for Fall (yay!) so it was up to the attic to lug down all my decorations. I really don't have that much, especially compared to Christmas, but it's always fun to change out my home decor to reflect each season. I purchased a few new sassy items (thanks HomeGoods!), lit a pumpkin-spiced candle, and pretended I had a Starbucks latte to welcome my favorite season!

Are you as excited about fall candles and Starbucks lattes as I am??

Happy Fall!!
