Our Story - N&J

Do you remember this awesome Google commercial from the SuperBowl? In honor of N's birthday, I made him a video of our story using Google's SearchStories Video Creator.

Check it out below! It's just a snip-it of how fabulous our story really is :)

I Like Baking

Wednesday is N's birthday, so I decided to bake him a special treat this weekend to celebrate. I read about a Harvard grad student's cupcake recipe site on one of my favorite blogs, A Cup of Jo, so I decided to try the coconut rum cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting, given N's love for coconut.

We brought them over to my parents' house last night for dessert and they were a big hit! Ribs for dinner was a big crowd-pleaser too :)

Much love to the birthday boy xoxo

In Need Of...

Cute, affordable dresses for the weddings, showers and bachelorette parties I have this summer. N and I have 5 weddings coming up - 5 people! I know that will be the norm for the next few years as our friends get married, but it's a lot to take on.

I recently bought this Elie Tahari dress at Marshall's. Do you see the retail price? I bought it for $100. Score! Do you think it's too dark for summer weddings? That was my concern, but for the price, I couldn't pass it up.

I'm now on the hunt for a few more bargains for the wedding season. I'm typically drawn to strapless dresses and I really like this dress from Anthropologie.




What do you think? For $170 it's not much of a steal, but is it worth it? I still have some time to decide and for the spring dresses to go on sale.

Please share links to your favorite dresses and any helpful hints of where to go for a bargain! My wallet will thank you :)
