Kansas City, you guys. If you haven’t ever been, you must. I would 100% move back there in a heartbeat. As a final summer hurrah, we headed to KC for five days. We filled our days eating Kansas City BBQ, visiting Deanna Rose Farm, hanging out with our friend, Jane at the Nelson-Atkins art museum, stopping at Fritz’s (where they deliver your food on a train!), and exploring Union Station. E and I caught up with our good friend Margi, and her daughter shopping at Easy, Tiger in the West Bottoms and then Lunch on the Plaza!

It was so, so much fun having Eleanor see and explore all of the things that brought me so much happiness as a child! Only bummer was that the Royals weren’t in town! I guess that means we just have to head back!

Things are back to being busy, busy around here with the new school year! I hope you are all staying cool in these sweltering temps!

Have a great weekend!
Erin

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

kansas city, sisters, Weekend

Well, folks, it’s official… the sisters and duo behind this blog will be reunited tomorrow! Erin is coming to KC tomorrow for a week- long adventure consisting of some serious girl time. We haven’t seen each other in months and the sister time is LONG overdue!

We have lots of things to catch up on… namely, wedding planning, picture taking, and wine drinking. It’s going to be a fabulous week.

Because we love to-do lists (who doesn’t??), we thought we’d give a little run down of our to-do’s for the week.

On Sunday, Tad and I finally got our engagement pictures taken! I must say, it was VERY nerve racking. We are suuuuuper awkward when it comes to that stuff. We had the BEST photographers though. Love them so much. Dale was crazy awesome and calmed the nerves a ton. I can’t wait to work with them again next June for the wedding!!

I prepped for the photo shoot by checking out KC’s dry bar on the Plaza. Parlor was SO fun and gorgeous. Chandeliers and gold chevron walls coated the place… can’t beat that!
