Un-Blog-Ivated

So, I've been feeling uninspired and unmotivated to keep up with my blog as of late. I attribute it to the fact that while I was working the daily grind, this blog was my place to let out my creativity. Now that I am a SAHDM (stay-at-home-dog-mom, duh!), I have a ton of ways I am letting out my creativity every day. In addition to decorating the apartment, I've been putting many hours into planning a bridal shower for my dear friend, Lisa, who is getting married in December.

Not only am I super excited about the theme (Monograms & Mimosas) and the activity (Champagne tasting), but I have decided to DIY pretty much all of the things for the party. The invitations turned out fantastic. I'm quite proud!

I found the black and white themed paper at Michael's and I think its perfect for a Savannah, GA shower!

My next projects are the champagne "score cards" and menu cards, etc. I also plan to personalize champagne flutes for all of the guests as favors! Why can't I do this stuff for a living (with other people's money of course!). 

Speaking of weddings, I've also been busy making plans for my other best friends bachelorette party in Charleston. Finding a place to house 18ish girls is tough, but as soon as I get over this hump, the fun stuff can begin! 

In the meantime, Cojo has lots of traveling and trips planned. This weekend I am heading to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival  to celebrate another bachelorette weekend with some great girls. Immediately after that (Monday) I am flying up to NY to meet John. We are staying a few nights with his sister, brother-in-law and our adorable nephew Eston, then heading to NJ to spend Thanksgiving with my dad's whole side of the family.

A couple of weeks after we get back, my mom is coming to visit. This holiday season is certainly going to fly by! 

John and I had a great weekend though. Saw some good friends who came to town and went to our first Buc's game. They got slaughtered by the Texans. :-)

Gorgeous November Day!!

Have a great week, y'all!
