Life Lately…

Hello Lovelies!

It’s Natalie here, the long-lost sister from this blogging duo. I’ve been entirely too consumed with work, dates with the hubby, and all things puppies. My bad

I so missed coming here every day and sharing my latest finds, thoughts, and inspiration. I have somewhat of a light month at the hospital so I thought I’d use my free time to get back to doing what I love. Blogging.

The primo in this blogging duo, Erin, is so dang fabulous. She’s my style-guru and now mommy-to-be idol. I’ve been counting down the days till Peanut joins us. To say I’m excited would be quite the understatement. I’m scouting the internets for the ultimate “I Have the Best Aunt” onesie… who wants to help?

The White siblings in Nashville after finding out baby Johnson would be joining us this Christmas.

As stated above, my life has been taken over by the pups. We found an off-leash dog park within walking distance from our home and have since taken the dogs there every.single.day. The dogs are my life. They are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. Them and coffee.

We’ve taken a few trips here and there for wedding season. Trips to Fayetteville, AR (Tad and I’s alma mater) and Tulsa, OK were the perfect weekend getaways. Weddings are officially my favorite. So much to oooh and ahhh!

Who’s ready for Fall? Erin’s recent posts have gotten me all KINDS of excited for the approaching season. Pumpkins, boots, scarves (SO. MANY. SCARVES), football (meh.), and more pumpkins. Count me in. Minus the endless football.

First Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season!

I wish I had more to share but unfortunately my life has been rather hum-drum lately. Can’t complain though… Fall is upon us and I have two pups who are super excited about jumping in leaves. I may have to join them!

Can we all agree this is as close to a dog selfie as we’ll get? … #doglady

Before I forget… Congrats to Alex C. for winning the Anniversary Giveaway!! Be on the lookout for an email from us soon! Thank you all for coming here and reading the ol’ blog. The past three years have been fabulous.

We heart you all.

Natalie

Hi folks! Natalie here, the long lost sister from this blogging duo! It’s been terribly long, but I thought I’d make a grand entrance back into the blogging world with a fab-u-lous giveaway!

We hit our 2 year anniversary of the blog this week… can you believe it?? Gosh, time flies. It seems like just yesterday Erin and I were skyping about our blogging plans. What to name it? What to post? HOW to post? It was great fun and we still have a fabulous time talking about all things blog. Like I talked about in this post, blog life has slowed down for me lately. My free time is few and far between and when I do get it, my hubby, friends, and pups take up my time in Memphis. I’ve missed the blog world but I so enjoy popping in every now and then! This two year anniversary is giving me just the pep I need to search and discover all things pretty and happy!

Because we think you all are so dang fabulous, we’re giving away a package of fantastic goodies! Oh Joy coasters and straws, anyone? (psst- her Target Fall collection is amazing!) Click the link below to enter! Giveaway ends next Friday at midnight!

It’s Friday and sunny outside… let’s pop the bubbly and get this weekend started!

Phew! What a weekend!! Natalie and Tad had the most beautiful wedding. The entire weekend went flawlessly and now Tad has whisked Natalie away for a week in MONTEGO BAY! How he was able to keep that a secret for 1.5 years is beyond me!!

Today, I thought I would share a few photos…they are mostly from what I was able to capture on my phone!

The week leading up to the big day was full of errands and pampering. I was put on the handwriting tasks as soon as a I arrived. Hello doctor handwriting. Even the errands were fun. We obviously found time to sneak in some margs and queso.

The bridal luncheon was at The Raphael Hotel. Pomegranate mimosas, macaroons, good company.

After we successfully rehearsed, we were off to Fogo De Chao and got our feast on. Delicious. Natalie and the bridesmaids then returned to our hotel room for a good ol’ fashioned sleepover!

The next morning, we got up and headed to Belle Époque to get our hair and makeup done.

After the nuptials we headed onto a trolley to take pictures around the Plaza.

The reception at The Intercontinental Hotel was just beautiful! Obviously, professional pictures by the fabulous Dale Benfield will be available soon so get excited!!

Happy Tuesday, friends!
Erin
