Hogwarts Express

Thanks for "peeping" in on me today!
Happy Easter!

This morning I put on an Easter brunch
Luckily it turned out beautifully
(which happens only on rare occasions)
I used both recipes mentioned in an earlier post
they were superb!
Thanks Martha!

Yesterday...
My cute cousin Tia 

celebrated her upcoming wedding with a Harry Potter themed bridal shower

It was probably the most amazing decorating I've ever witnessed for a bridal shower
all due to my insanely talented cuzzie, Shantai

I was blown away at how each space was decorated to hilt

 

I hope you all are having a great Easter Sunday so far

I will post some brunch pictures soon!

But for now I'm going to kick my feet up and relax

Happy Easter!

Back from vaca with a new outlook

Back from vaca with a whole new outlook on life

fist,

blessings and happiness are NOT measured by the amount of money we have but by the people

who come into our lives

second,

I'm not a fan of the big city mentality 

where we become self absorbed and unaware of the world around us

The good news is

maybe I really am a better person than I give myself credit for 

I like to smile at people and have them smile back 

I like to wait for old lady's to get through the gates at the airport instead of knocking them down for the sake of making it to the luggage claim 2 minutes earlier than everyone else

I am feeling so incredibly blessed coming home

in fact I did shed a tear or two just pulling into home

Life is definitely what you make of it 

and I firmly believe you don't have to live in a big city to live big or feel glamorous

I must apologize for my last post 

I am embarrassingly aware of how poorly it was written

I blame it completely on "vaca brain"

I was able to capture some lovely pics 

all photographs via Brooklyn Designv

I took over 1500 pics
so I won't post them all but here are a few more I was able to get up.
The top two are my favorite so far

Sorry no posts over the weekend

My internet was out

You know you don't have a life when your bf says he's so happy the internet is out 

because he actually gets to see you

I probably should set up some boundaries

needless to say we had lots of cuddle time

 I had the best photo shoot ever this weekend

Not only was this little lady beautiful on the outside she was gorgeous on the inside

LOVE her!

My friend Ellen and her daughter made it so much fun with their great, up-for-anything attitudes

If you haven't already, don't forget to put in for the Giveaway

On a side note....

 Dear girls who go after married/taken men,

To all you girls out there who take pleasure in going after married or taken men

Do yourselves (and the rest of us) a favor,

 please grow up

You are not in kindergarten

I'm growing tiresome of babysitting

it's just awkward for you (and annoying) when I hear about you flinging yourself at them

find a new hobby

like underwater basket weaving 

but you never actually come up for a breath

ok great thanks :)

xoxo

This was from the last J Bella Photoshoot
I just can't get over those earrings!
Love them!

I hope you all have gotten a chance to put in for the Brooklyn's Designs & Photography Giveaway
It takes about 5 minutes to complete 3 easy steps!

Heard a wondrous quote yesterday from Alaina over at Live Creating Yourself

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.”
- Diane von Furstenburg

I can totally relate.  She is a remarkable woman.

The Washington DC countdown is drawing near
I will be flying out in less than 3.5 weeks
and I am still unsure of all the things I want to accomplish when I go

Some Obvious checkpoints:
-The white house
-Smithsonian
-Walk through Georgetown

We will also be going to NYC over the weekend!!!!
It's been a while since I've been and I just can't wait to be back!
I'm open to suggestions on either....HELP! (gulp)
