More amazing royal style!

I just can't get enough of the royal wedding coverage. 

The newly titled Duchess of Cambridge changed into another Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress for the evening dinner reception.

She can do no wrong when it comes to style.

Dreams do come true

It's been the most anticipated wedding of my lifetime...when a "common girl" marries British royalty.  There is certainly nothing normal about the lovely Kate Middleton who is now the Duchess of Cambridge.  She looked every part of a modern day princess in a stunning Alexander McQueen (by Sarah Burton) wedding gown.  Every girl's dream came true today as we watched Kate marry her prince.

I only caught bits and pieces of the coverage and can't wait to watch every minute of it this evening.  I highly enjoyed seeing the wedding guest's fashions as well-the hats, oh the hats!  They are beyond.

I have no doubt that William and Harry's beloved mother is smiling in heaven watching her first born son marry the love of his life.  Congratulations to the happy couple!  See ladies, dreams do come true.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of yesterday's violent storms that ripped through the South causing massive destruction.  Hundreds of people died and catastrophic damage ensued.  


To my fellow Southerners: We love you and are here to help however we can.

I'm walking in a spiderweb, so leave a message, & I'll call you back

My first big/real concert was No Doubt, and it was awesome.  I've loved Gwen Stefani ever since then and have always envied her unique, pop princess/grunge style.  While she's had some very unusual hair styles over the years, lately, she has looked very elegant while still remaining true to herself.


I am determined to figure out a way to style my hair into the ultra chic, HUGE ballerina bun at the top.  Any tips?  Her signature red lips are also to die for.  Rock on Gwen!

Freecycling

I hope all of you had a very lovely Good Friday, Earth Day, and Easter weekend.

As we gear up for summer, many of us will spend time doing some spring cleaning.  Another option to getting rid of your unwanted items is to join your local Freecycle group.  This is a free service where you post what you have, and someone contacts you to come pick it up.  It's that easy! 

There are rules and Freecycle etiquette guidelines, so make sure to follow them.  I really like this concept because it doesn't involve any money.  If you need it, you take it.  If you have it, you give it.  What a great and easy way to go green.

Have any of you used Freecycle before?  If so, what was your experience?  Happy freecycling!

He is not here; he has risen!

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said..."

(Matthew 28:6)

I hope you have a wonderful day spent with loved ones 

celebrating our Savior's resurrection.

Happy Easter!

Happy Good Friday, Happy Earth Day, & Happy Birthday to Georgia!

Today is a very special day for me.  It's Good Friday, Earth Day, and Georgia's birthday.  Wow! 

I want to briefly talk about this amazing trifecta of events. 

Good Friday is the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate His resurrection.  For Christians, this is the most significant holiday of the year.  I am eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father who made the ultimate sacrifice, so we can live at peace with Him one day.

Earth Day is something I celebrate every day.  For as long as I can remember, protecting our beautiful planet has been near and dear to my heart.  I often laugh when I think about the day I learned about recycling and environmental protection in elementary school.  I came home that day and attempted to throw out all of our cleaning products and aerosol cans.  My mother was less than thrilled.  I love our earth and all of the beautiful people, animals, and plants on it.  Let's unite together to maintain and protect our amazing planet.  This year, I've made a pledge to use my car less and am buying a bike.  What will you do to help protect our planet?

Five years ago today, I adopted my sweet dog Georgia.  I had never had a dog before and didn't really know what to do.  I'd like to thank my wonderful friend Pam for going with me to adopt Georgia and showing me everything I needed to get take care of her.  Adopting Georgia was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  She loves me unconditionally and provides me with more love than I could ever hope for.  Happy Birthday Georgia!  I love you more than you will ever know.

I hope all of you have a very blessed day and weekend spent outside with loved ones.  Happy Good Friday, Happy Earth Day, and Happy Birthday to Georgia!
