Instead of the traditional bachelorette party I've decided to put my girls to work! We're all going to participate in a March of Dimes walk for premature babies!! We're raising money, and getting together to do the walk, Its on April 26th!! So if you feel like making a difference in the life of a tiny baby, please donate by clicking the link below.

Thanks Girlies!!

Ask a Question
Bridal Bootcamp?!?!
ok, so I know no woman is completely satisfied with their body, but doesn't the wedding put on that extra stress about "problem areas". I'm not trying to lose a gazillion pounds before the wedding, but I would like to tone my arms and lose a little bit around my waist...
my FH tells me "i love you just how you are" but I still want to look good for the the big day.


so tell me... what are you brides doing for bridal bootcamp?!

Honeymoon!!!
Its booked and paid for!!
omg so much as happened in the last few weeks. It feels like things are finally coming together. We booked and paid for our honeymoon yesterday!!

We're renting a exclusive cabin in the Adirondacks!!! It's not a campsite cabin where tons of screaming little kids will be up early and running around... it's going to a romantic week, alone, together, in the mountians. We're leaving the cellphones off, and just completely getting lost in each other's presence and I cannot wait. It'll be a nice break from the busy, loud, and fast paced world we're use to.

We leave Sunday morning after the wedding, and check in when we get up there that afternoon. I am sooooo excited. so tell me what do you think?? cute idea?? kinda romantic right?!?!

Unity Candle
Personalized && Gorgeous!!

They finally arrived!! I love them. No lie - a tear ran down my face.

They match the pink that I am using in my wedding to a tee. Our names are on the tapered candles, and our married names, our date, and a quote are on the center candle. I am in love with it.


The lady who makes them is Mary Forbare, and just she owns Candles-And-Cookies. Google it she ships everywhere!!!

Ask a Question
Vegan Cake?!?
Okay, so I'm having serious issues finding someone to make a vegan cake. I'm a lacto-vegetarian meaning that I do not eat meat or eggs, but I will consume milk products, but not milk, I perfer rice milk.

Anyways, I'm having a really hard time getting the cake places to make a cake without egg, and the one who said they woud - use gelatin, which is made from animal products. Their reasons all lead back to the fact that egg makes the cake stiffer so when you layer it, or put decorations on it, it doesnt sink. la-te-da. I still need a cake!

AND I KNOW VEGANS EAT SOME KIND OF CAKE!!!

Anyways a family friend who is very good at making cakes said she would make a trial cake if I found a vegan cake recipe that is stiff enough to support layers.

Any good recipes?? I really need your help!!
