MBW's Shower

Lilly Pulitzer was a constant theme at MBW's baby shower.

I gave her pink Patagonia mittens for those Boston winters.

MBW's sister in-law gave her the cutest pink & green gown from Dear Johnnines and of course it was monogrammed.

There is really no comparison between a pink rubber ducky and a yellow one.

I loved the bow detail on this shift dress.

 Black Bottoms are a staple here in Maryland.

The favors were pink hand sanitizers and cookies.

I am so very excited for MBW and can't wait to meet her little one! xx

MBW's Birthday

Last month MBW was in town and we celebrated her birthday at Woodberry Kitchen. The evening began with presents.

The food was incredible per usual...I had the lasagna.

They brought a personal timer with the french press.

MBW ended the evening with a C.M.P.

It was a such fun night but we had to be up bright and early for MBW's baby shower the next morning.

JP Crickets

JP Crickets carry classic velvet, suede and linen slippers. Their shoes display embroidered university logos, monograms and custom designs. I can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeve.

Cheers!

We are beyond grateful for all of the well wishes and words of encouragement regarding our engagement. I can’t wait to celebrate even more over the weekend.

My fingers are crossed that the weather stays warm so I can break in my new Sailboat Top from Old Navy. Happy Friday!

3 Things

The last item with my maiden monogram is a super soft blanket that A gave me from Star Monograms.

One of my guilty pleasures is chewing gum and I was thrilled when I saw the Orbit Double Pak.

It has been so much fun finding new recipes on Pinterest. I have been obsessed with Quinoa and made this Broccoli & Cheese Quinoa Casserole several times this winter. I modified the recipe slightly by eliminating the sugar/nutmeg, using organic ingredients and increasing the broccoli.
