First Ballet Recital

May 21, 2016May 21, 2016

CeeCee just finished up her first year of ballet and, along with my entire family, Mother and Daddy-O, AND her daddy’s side of the family, I had the great honor of attending her recital last weekend!!

After a little warm up and demo of their usual class, they queued the music (A dream is a wish your heart makes…) and the tiny ballerinas started the show sleeping on the floor.

It was the sweetest, most precious thing watching my one and only niece dance. I have to say, I experienced something I never have before… seeing a child you love take part in an activity that YOU love. I guess that’s how Honey has felt all these years watching the boys play baseball. My heart kind of swelled up with pride, joy and all the love.

We retreated outside with her entourage for a slew of family pictures…

… and then our party of fourteen headed to brunch. You can see all the details and DIY instructions on how I made her Hello Kitty Recital Bouquet here!

It was such a sweet and girly morning!! I hope there are many more recitals to come!
xoxo

May Flowers

I’m going to depart from the commonly accepted saying this year and go with May Showers brings May Flowers. It has been SO super rainy this month, and this past week in particular. Oh, hello Elsa. I’ve had my Bronwyn Hanahan flower pot door hanger out the past few weeks and love the whimsy and pop… Read More

A Dark Side Star Wars Soiree

May 19, 2016January 22, 2018

Our favorite sith celebrated seven in galactic style last weekend!! As usual, Sister completely outdid herself on making the gym party amazing! It’s incredible what some tissue tassels, confetti and balloons can do. The cake is by Bee Caked and was a show stopper! Jay requested a red velvet layer (totally normal for 7 year olds, right?)… Read More

Fourteen Years

Fourteen years ago on a unseasonably cold and rainy day in Savannah, I tied the knot with the man y’all know as Honey :-) There were so many things we loved about our wedding weekend, but our collective favorite was walking out of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and finding the Ramblin Wreck there on… Read More

In the Shop {Welcome to Summer}

May 16, 2016May 5, 2017

My littles love to give their school friends a little “welcome to summer” type treat at the end of the school year. I generally scout the dollar store for something to give and then create a tag to go with it. In past years I’ve shared the Hope Your Summer is a Scream tags on… Read More
