Easter Time is Happy Time!!

Today is EASTER!! WOO HOO! Kimber gets to egg hunt for the first time today! I will be posting pictures of her tomorrow. A lot has happened in the past few days. I finally got my car back and it's running fine now. I thought I would NEVER get my car back. Jason starts his new job on Monday and we can't wait to get some extra money coming in. Since Jason will be working, we needed to find a babysitter. A friend I work with referred me to her babysitter, we met her yesterday and she is SO super nice. Kimber will only be going to a babysitter once a week and it's a little scary, but she needs to work on her social skills, like sharing. I've decided to sign up at a gym and I'm really excited to start working out with friends. It's Spring and it's time for some much needed changes. I can finally see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

I wish I had this to wear for Easter:

Here are some cute pictures to inspire your Easter!! Enjoy!

Wedding Update...

My weekend was pretty busy. My future sister-in-law (who is also a bridesmaid) and my friend Liz came over to help me with the pom-pom flowers. We got a lot done, but there is a lot more to do. Liz made me realize that there are somethings that I didn't even think of, like napkin rings and silver ware. I need to sit down and make a COMPLETE list of the things I will need. I even almost forgot about a garter. I'm so scatterbrained. Hahaha!! I didn't even have an idea of what I wanted for a wedding cake until just recently. Here are a few pictures of the cake that I fancy.





OH...and instead of making invitations, I thought it would be best to just buy them. It will take me WAYYY too long to make them myself. They'll match the cake too!! I was thinking about getting the RSVP cards, but that would set me back another $300, SO instead I'll just note on the bottom of the invitation to RSVP to my e-mail. I'm so cheap. Hahahaha! I found the invitations here: http://www.hellolucky.com/

I'll be posting an update on more wedding ideas soon!!

Yarn Pom Pom DIY.

These are great for any celebration. You can string them together and to make pretty garland for a birthday party or use them for Christmas ornaments...the possiblities are endless. I'm attaching them to floral stem wire and using them as flowers for our wedding. I'll post pictures of the flowers soon.


Step One: Wrap yarn around three fingers 100-120 times. (if you have thinner yarn do it about 120 times) Make sure you don't wrap TOO tight. NOTE: You MIGHT want to have a really comfortable pair of scissors or some band-aids near by because if you are doing a lot of them, your hands will start to hate you.



Step Two: Cut a piece of yarn off about 10 inches long and tie around the yarn VERY tightly.



Step Three: Cut the yarn loops.



It should look like this.



Step Four: Trim!!

On A Good Note...

My paper straws came in!!! I'll be using these cuties for Kimber's birthday party and our wedding.

For the wedding:

Instead of soda, I'll made some lemonade and instead of escort cards, I'll have them say "Erin & Jason May 22nd, 2010". I don't think I like the idea of escort cards. I wouldn't like to make the decisions of where people sit. That kind of seems rude to me.

I'm not sure exactly what refreshments I will make for Kimber's birthday, but these straws will be there.
