The story behind it is that when I was little, I had a lemon print dress and it’s all I wanted to wear. So I’m excited lemon print is trendy this summer so I can have adult-sized lemon print dresses. 👗

I have plenty more lemon print coming. So don’t be surprised when you see me in lemon print all summer. 🍋

He tried his first ice cream at @marbleslabcreamery! #sponsored I love going to Marble Slab creamery because their ice cream is made fresh in small batches, in-store daily. You can taste the difference because it is so yummy! 

We went to try their new #imaginationhasnolimits concoctions! Marble Slab Creamery has six new combinations of fresh made Ice Cream & always FREE Mix-Ins. We ordered a cup of the Cookies 'N Cream combination and a cup of the Chocolate Caramel Butter Pecan to share. They were both delicious and Ben loved his first taste of ice cream and the Marble Slab experience. 

What is your favorite ice cream flavor??

My Best Friend’s Wedding

Its Monday so I need extra positive vibes on the blog, but today that is easy. I’m a lucky girl. This year not one but TWO of my life-long friends are marrying their soulmates and this weekend I got to celebrate them both in different ways.

My friend got married in June and last night we finally got pictures!!! It was the most beautiful wedding and a true celebration of love. I was so incredibly honored to be part of her day, and the pictures just brought me right back. I was boo-hooing all over again. Also, if you’re getting married you have to check out Kelli Boyd Photography. Her photos are AMAZING.

On Saturday night I got to co-host a couple shower for another life-long friend getting married in three weeks! She and her fiancé were friends in high school and always liked each other but the timing was never right. They reconnected a few years ago and are now getting married!

We threw a camping shower complete with fire pit. It was so fun to put together the little details and create a fun night for all our friends. I didn’t take pictures, of course. Here are a few though..and the second is awful because I forgot to take the picture before it got dark.

I love that burlap lace. I made the E & T by hot gluing moss onto wooden letters and then hot glued the letters onto the wooden log chargers.

I also made little favors of s’mores trail mix. It’s made of Golden Graham cereal, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips and is incredibly delicious.

Then I put it in little bags and wrote out cute tags.
I’m just having a day where I realize how lucky I am. I’ve been friends with these girls for so many years. We’ve been friends through all the big moments in our lives, and I’m just so happy we can add their wedding days to that long list.
I’m so happy they are happy. That they have found the person they plan to spend the rest of their life with. Best friends are like family. Knowing that they are going to be happy for the rest of their lives is a gift in itself. 
P.S. If you are in a wedding soon, be sure to check out my bachelorette party checklist.
