*Busy, Busy, Busy*
Hey Ladies!
I have been sooooo busy! Our Stag and Doe is this Saturday night and it's been a crazy amount of work getting everything ready for it! The BEST news though is that my sister (her and her fiance had to move to Florida in January) SURPRISED me with a visit home!!! I was at work last thursday night and I came out of my lunchroom and she was standing there!! it was the best surprise ever! She came down just to be here for my stag and doe! I was so upset thinking that she wouldn't be here for it, because around here the stag and doe is the second biggest event, besides the Wedding itself of course! For those who aren't familiar with what a stag and doe is i'll explain it quick! Its basically a big party hosted by the wedding party and families of the bride and groom! There's drinks, dancing, games and prizes and its a really great time! All the proceeds go towards helping the Bride and Groom start their lives together! I think they really only have stag and does (also called a buck and doe, or jack and jill) in southern Ontario. So it's been a few crazy weeks of getting everything ready for our stag and doe, especially this week! I can't wait until all the preparation is complete and its actually time to PARTY! I've posted some pics of what us girls will be wearing! I also made T-shirts for all the groomsmen but I don't have a pic of them uploaded to my computer! I'll post some pics from the night after this weekend! :) Have a great weekend everyone! And to all the Brides getting married this weekend CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! x0x |

DIY Wedding
**Some new Blinged out Items**
Hi girls! It's been forever since I've been on here, but i have been SWAMPED with weddings plans, and for planning our upcoming stag and doe (May 26!).
Anyways, I've completed some more blingy DIY itemss! The table number holders that i liked from my decorator would have cost $5 a piece to rent and seeing as I need at least 20 of them i figured I could save the $100 and recreate my own! So I bought some clear frames from the dollar store and I already had a big container of different sized rhinestones I bought from Hobby Lobby for $15 and voila! I made my table numbers! :) The side with the rhinestones will have just a white piece of paper with the table number in purple, and on the reverse side will be one of our engagement pictures in black and white! The next item is just a little peice of decor i created for the cake table! It was a mirrored wall hanging I bought from Hobby Lobby and i just glued a different sizes on rhinestones to it! The pictures dont capture how much these things sparkle! But im very happy with them! They especially twinkle in low lighting!! :) Have a great week ladies! |

Wedding Decoration
**Decor Mock-Up**
Yesterday my mom, FMIL, and I went to finalize the decor and order my cake/cupcakes! here are some pics of a mock up of our decor.
We will be having square tables that seat 12 people rather than round tables. Ignore how huge the "flowerball" is in the center, it was to give us a visual, we will actually be having white hydrangea/orchids in the middle vase, but the flowerball was the closest thing at the decorators that e could find to give us a visual. Also the round candle vases will both be the same size, they will both be like the bigger one (she only had one of each size there) and the rhinestone bands are just kind of placed against the vases right now becuase they will actually have to cut them all to size to specifically be the thickness we want them to be! I am SOO excited!! This is EXACTLY what I had in mind! :) we are going to order white plates (the plates our hall provides are ugly and dont match the table decor) to put on the silver charger plates, then the napkin will be folded on top of the plate and our reception programs will be placed in the folded napkin. our programs will be white with our purple monograms on them. The only purple at my reception (other than a few small details) will be the uplighting! The rest will be fresh white and BLING!! :) What do you think?! :D |

**My Work Outs**
*As Promised :)*
Hi Ladies! After my last fitness post I promised some of you ladies that I would post what exercises I have been doing to get my results!
Here are some pics that show similar work outs to what I've been doing. Heres my basic work-out ! Its not very much, but for my own specific body type it does the trick! depending on what your body type is and what you are trying to accomplish you may want to do more repeats, and add some more cardio! I started with 5 pound weights, one in each hand, but i have moved up to 10 pound weights! 10 lateral arm raises alternating with 10 front arm raises 25 "leg hugging" crunches (as shown in pic 3) 15 bent over rows repeat x3!!! I do this usually 4 times a week, but again depending on your body type and what you are wishing to achieve you may need to do it more, or even less! Now my next goal is to complete this "Banging Body 3 Week Program"! I also HIGHLY recommend creating a Fitness Inspiration board on Pinterest if you have it....its truly what motivates me to work out even when i feel like napping instead! I've posted some of my favourite fitness board pics from pinterest! To see more from my fitness inspiration board add me to pinterest- Mallory Poort!! x0x P.S- YOU GO GIRLS!!! :D |

*House Hunting*
**Please Pray For Us!!**
So FH and I have been looking for a house for a little over a month now. I know that doesn't seem very long, so I shouldnt be worried...but we are getting married in 4 and a half months and my biggest fear is that we wont be able to find a house by then! Everything that we have looked into so far has had issues that we cant overlook (ie. no curb appeal to be able to resell, needs a new furnace, not in a good resellable area). :( We have property on the lake that we bought and are planning on building on in the next 5-10 years, so the house we will buy will be a short time starter house.
Tomorrow we are going to be checking out a house that seems very promising! I am trying to hard not to get my hopes up~ its a little over our budget but we are going to try and offer a bit less and see if they accept. The house is the one in my pic! Please please pray for us, that God will provide us with a house sooner rather than later so that I don't have to worry about a wedding and moving into a new house all at once! I am praying everyday but I feel like a few more prayers couldnt hurt!! Thanks Ladies x0x |
