"Tickled Pink" in Charlotte

What a beautiful and lovely weekend we had in Charlotte this past weekend to celebrate our sweet baby girl. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family who made this day so very special. I knew it was going to be a beautiful shower but I was so excited and amazed at the extra special touches they did which were so cute, as I knew it would be:) Riley is going to be one well dressed little girl with all the clothes she received this weekend:) People sure do love to buy for girls, they are so much fun! We had a wonderful celebration with delicious food, BEAUTIFUL decor and most importantly incredible people to make this so special. I am 33 weeks today... 7 weeks to go and it is now March!!!!! YAY!

Beautiful Weekend

WOW! What a gorgeous weekend we are having. I can't help but to stay outdoors as much as possible. I set up my sewing machines outside on the screened porch and sewed yesterday. I am making burp cloths and trying to figure out my monogram machine:) I will let you know when I am up and running. Life has been crazy around here as we prepare for our sweet angel's arrival in two months, spring cleaning in the yard and in house, working and well working and learning on my new endeavour..MONOGRAMMING:) It is all so fun! Thought you would enjoy a recipe from Southern Living since I have been slack lately..sorry...

Celebrating with Friends

This weekend was so great catching up wild old friends. I am so happy to have kept in touch with my high school friends, I think it is so wonderful and special that we are all so close and have kept in touch over the years. We had so much fun celebrating Heather's baby at the shower and then that evening Melissa and Danny's engagement. I was also able to meet my daughter's future husband, Mr. William Clark Morrison. What a cutie pie he is and I can't wait for Jennifer and Brian's sweet baby boy grow up with out Sweet baby girl, due in 10 weeks:) What a special time of year for everyone!
