Can it please be last weekend again?! I want to relive the prettiness of it all! I shared with you pictures of my bridal shower earlier in the week and today I’m sharing a few details from the bachelorette party! Erin planned a glorious evening with just the ladies, starting with appetizers and cocktails at The Raphael on the plaza (the rooms were to die for!).

Below are pictures from the fabulous party!

Hello, dear readers!

I am so stinkin’ excited to share with you pictures of my bridal shower from this past weekend! I had the loveliest time. I can’t even begin to describe how happy I was throughout the entire weekend… it was an absolute ball!

One thing (out of many things) my sister is so fabulous at is throwing parties. She pays attention to the finest of details and makes it so special for everyone. Mom and Erin planned the whole thing as a surprise and I can’t thank them enough for all of the planning and hard work they put into the shower. And to my beautiful, fabulous friends that helped along the way… love you all!!

Okay, now for the pictures…

Mom and Erin’s fabulous shower gift! Kate spade toasting flutes and cake cutting set.

The amazing favors for the guests! Matches and a macaron candle.

Pink peonies as centerpieces.

Every party must include mimosas.

Pomegranate Fizz cocktail! So delicious.

Well wishes from all the guests. Such beautiful words of advice from everyone I love.

My heart skipped a beat when I took off the blindfold and saw the macaron tower!

Stay tuned for pics from the bachelorette party later this week! Again, Erin knows how to throw quite the soiree! 🙂

Hi friends! So sorry for the radio silence this week! March is living up to what we thought it would be… busy!

I’ve started the month working 24 ER shifts so my days are a little off. I can’t believe it’s already Thursday! That means a little over 2 weeks until I find out where I matched for residency! Holy anxiety!

Here are some little details from February!

Met KC’s most famous weatherman at brunch one morning. We’re practically best friends now. True story. He bought our drinks! See? Best friends.

I was totally that goob in the restaurant that not so discretely announced to the table that a famous person was sitting across the room. He definitely noticed when a table of five all turned to look at him at once. Oh well… we got free mimosas and I made a new best friend. Win win.

Some of our dearest friends came into town with their new little one and it was such a fun time seeing them. Their babe is the cutest! We started the weekend with dinner and drinks at a fabulous little restaurant in KC, Westport Cafe and Bar. The atmosphere was terribly chic and the food was delicious!

Our wedding invites came in the mail! Can’t wait to send these beauties out!

Can’t end a post without Wilson. Our sweet Wilson. Our sweet Wilson who chewed half his tennis ball and now wears it as a nose. I think we’ll keep him.

Hope March is treating you well!

Happy Thursday, loves!

brunch, family, friends, Life, valentine's day

Hello, dear readers! I hope you’re all recovering well from a snazzy Valentine’s day and a relaxing (and/or crazy fun) weekend!

We laid MAJORLY low on V-day evening to catch up on season 2 of House of Cards. Ummm… holy crap??! Can we please talk about this show?! My boys kept me company on the couch while I did some serious stressing about it.

On Saturday morning I had a girls brunch with some fabulous friends of mine from school. A morning brunch turned into four and a half hours… we blame it on the bottomless mimosas! Catching up with girlfriends is so therapeutic.

Tad, mom, and I met with the wedding cake group on Sunday… I was positively giddy when I left! I can’t wait for the big day! I try to wear my sparkly shoes to all of the wedding activities/meetings. They just always seem to match my wedding mood!
