The theme for our Prom this year is Masquerade! So, as is the now-annual tradition, I have the privilege of planning/coordinating the aesthetic details, in all their (hopefully creative) glory!

One Swell Picnic!
What is a picnic without scrumptious food? Not too long ago I had the chance to help host a little picnic in honor of a friend.

The Bridal Olympics
Everybody’s talking about the Olympics, and for good reason. They are the pinnacle of athletic excellence and the gold (medal) standard for achievement in the world of sports.

First, perhaps the Twilight Saga Series should not be taken too seriously as they are about teenagers and Vampires. Second, there is a part of me, and I don’t know how dominate that part might be, that is capableContinue reading “Breaking Dawn: Party Like A Cullen”
Belated Independence
Where did July go? I know, I know, it’s not over just yet, but I am shockingly behind myself on practically every front, which would be woefully embarrassing if I lacked a reason, but (thankfully?) my excuse is as timeless as a tacky 80s flick.
