Today's the Day!

Today is my friend Krissy's baby shower at my house. It is a small diaper shower that we are having for her. She is the one who is always throwing us showers for weddings or babies and we wanted to return the favor. I will post pics either tonight or tomorrow after it is over.

This is Krissy at her other shower opening my gift! I think she liked the outfit :)
This is a group shot of us at her other shower. I look awful :(


This is an old pic but a fav of mine! :) Jamie is the girl in the middle and she is the co-host helping me with the shower!
Hope everyone has a good Saturday!

Favorite Fridays!




My friend Jennie has started a new weekly post! I love it. Follow along if you can!


Favorite Fridays

This week's topic is Favorite Vacation Spot

My Favorite Vacation Spot: Mexico!

I know your probably thinking where in Mexico. Well there are two places that I have traveled to and love them both equally. The first is Cancun. I have been there 4 times. A former friend of my mom's owns timeshare so we use to travel with him.



The second is Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We went there on our honeymoon. It is beautiful and relaxing at the same time. Though the ocean is not quite a "swimming ocean" It was such an amazing trip.

Wishful Wednesday


Every Wednesday Kelsey over at The Seattle Smith's does a Wishful Wednesday Post which i love to participate in. This week the topic is

"I wish....I could play a character's role in a book and it would be Becky Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella!


I Love these books. Becky is a hilarious character that loves to shop and boy does she know how. Although my husband and mother say I am a shopaholic I am not nearly as bad a Becky is. If you haven't checked out this series I highly recommend it. She will keep you laughing the whole way through!

Sorry for being M.I.A. :(

Sorry I've been M.I.A. As a school teacher in the south we don't have February Break. I have been so busy at school with tutoring before and after school and working the after school tutorial program, that all i want to do when i come home is eat dinner and go to bed. This is usually my time with my hubby too. Here is a little recap of the past week:
Last weekend it snowed on Friday. It was beautiful. We went to Johnny's Pizza with our friends to celebrate my friend Jess's husband Andrew's birthday.
Here are some pictures of Snow in Georgia:




Saturday was my friend Jamie's son Ryan's first birthday party.
Here are some pictures from the birthday party:
Ryan opening his present from me!
The family!
P.S. By that night the snow was melted..lol

Sunday was Valentine's day with Zach! We went and saw Dear John at Phipps Plaza. It was a toss between Dear John and Valentine's Day. I told Zach to pick. He picked Dear John because he thought it would be like the Notebook which he liked. Well we both were a little disappointed. Then we did a little shopping I was able to finally get my new Tory Burch shoes :)


We went over to Nordstrom Rack(Nordstrom outlet) This is our favorite store we love going there we always find great deals. I got 2 dresses, 2 tank tops and a sweater!
We ended our day with dinner at Olive Garden.

Monday- Friday were typical days at school. Wednesday as many of you already know was Ash Wednesday. This year i was able to talk Zach into giving up something with me for Lent. He has agreed to give up Pizza and Soda. I am giving up Chocolate Candy and Starbucks. Wish us luck!

Saturday i met up with my friend Jess and her two boys and we went to the park. It was 60* in GA. The rest of my weekend has been spent cleaning the house and doing laundry. Next week is the baby shower for my friend Krissy at my house!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!
Zach and I have been watching alot of the Olympics! Have you been keeping up with the winter Olympics?
