{Happy} Easter!


It's tradition in our household to blast this song as loud as possible, as it is the perfect Easter song.

Happy Easter, everyone!  I hope you have a fabulous day, and that the Easter bunny was as good to you as he was me! : )

I do still need a dress for C & B's wedding May 20th...!

Our Day in {Pictures}


Mom & I had a great day of shopping [I love JCrew - all of my everyday clothes are basically from here] and lunch!  Thanks, Mom!

Had to grab some new pictures of me with my two favorite guys before dinner!


And of course, a Fantastic dinner at Uncle Louie's.  Absolutely scrumptious!

We also saw Water For Elephants which was very good.  I haven't read the book yet, but I am going to read it now!

Shopping day with Mom!  Replacing our tradition of 'Back to School' shopping with 'Back to Work' shopping! 

Obviously.  And obviously [Maybe multiple times.]

+  Movie time!  Water for Elephants is a must!

Hair{Style} Inspiration...

I loved The Hills when it was on and I love LC - her style, her personality - she just seems like a sweet, classy girl and I always love reading her stuff.  Recently, I stumbled upon her newest project over at InStyle.com and I am really excited about it!  Lots of good info on there!  Check it out!

First advice I'm going to try, her hair tips!

[She's gorgeous!]

{Snow}...

... That's What You Get For Waking up in {Minnesota}.

{Right} This Second...

+  I am loving our new house.  Now that everything is [mostly] unpacked and we're settling in more, I really like it.  And the location as proved to be perfect so far!

+  2 days until we head south again [to AZ] ... so excited.  We will finally be reunited with Grimaldis and Uncle Louies!

+  I like this spin on the classic Easter egg.  I may have to try it sometime!

This is fantastic!

+  I might need these for the anticipated rain/snow showers in our near future!

A day with my two loves ...

Lunch at Panera,

Walking around the shops,

A scrumptious dinner,

A evening walk with Emma,

And cuddling up for {our favorite} movie...

{Happy} Weekend!


on the agenda:

+  Mini-bachelorette party tonight for my dear MB!  2 weeks until she's a married woman!

+  Second bachelorette party of the weekend, Saturday - "Let's Get Rowdy!"  [it's cowboy themed]

+  Relax, relax, relax!  And enjoy our new home.  We haven't taken a breather since we've moved in, and Sunday is the first day Justin and I will be able to enjoy our home together!

Interesting.  Not quite sure I'd be brave enough to pull it off.

+  Looking for a yummy dinner idea?  Try this!  I made it for T&S last night and it won resounding "YUMS"
