Food for Thought

Lately James and I have been working in our yard.  To our surprise we have found a bunch of four-leaf clovers and two five-leaf clovers.  I am insisting that this makes our backyard lucky, although our battle with the large thorned weeds (our nemesis) is not yet won.  What do you think?  Are five-leaf clovers lucky too?

It's Friday

After what seemed to be a very a long week, I can't wait to let loose!  We will be spending the weekend in Annapolis, MD for our friends' wedding.  I am so excited to catch up with James' Navy friends, stay in such a lovely area, show off my new Kara Janx dress (check out her amazing dress line here) and try a cute new hairstyle (thinking this or this).  I'll be sure to post pictures of all the wedding festivities soon, but for now you can ogle over this gorgeous Maryland wedding.  Hope everyone enjoys thier weekend!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

This week I decided to try something new and link up with Jamie of This Kind of Love for

"What I'm Loving Wednesday."

I'm loving Artichoke Flatbread.

I live on different versions of this when James is away. 

This also makes for a great party app.

I'm loving Dear Photograph.

This site meshes old and new photographs such a cute concept!

I'm loving gardenia everything.

Candles, lotions, etc.

I'm loving Lilacism by Essie.

A birthday present that I can't stop applying (thanks Em!).

Finally... I'm loving that James is finally home from almost three weeks of travel. 

What are you loving?

Weekend on the Water

We had the privilege of spending this past weekend in Moyock, NC with good friends, Alex and Halley (remember them?).

The sunny weather was amazing and well needed (check out James' and my pale bods, eek!).

Most of our weekend was spent out on the water...  

boating, swimming, water skiing, tubing and playing with the pups.

 I learned something new about James on this trip, my man has skills! 

Last but not least, a big thanks to Alex and Halley for having us.  Hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend!
