Royal Wedding Bliss!

What an exciting day filled with love, romance and a girl's dream come true...to become a Princess! Prince William and Kate Middleton are now husband and wife and it's been so much fun watching the live coverage of the day's events. Kate looked absolutely beautiful, in a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. I snagged several photos from the British Monarchy's photostream via Flickr, which capture the beauty and magic of the bride and her prince on this magical day.  And if you live in the UK, did you join the crowds along the streets to catch a glimpse of the Royal procession?! What do you all think of Kate's dress? Enjoy and cheers to the happy couple! Have a great weekend. xoxo - Julie

Quote of the Week

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

Happy Valentine's Day, my lovelies! The first photo of today's post is of a heart shaped rock I found over the weekend while on a walk with my nieces and nephews. Talk about a crazy coincidence! I ended up giving it to my 10 year-old niece Mikaila, who has plans to give it to a boy she has a crush on :) My husband and I aren't very big into Valentine's Day, but we do have plans to stay in tonight to make dinner together and share a bottle of wine. A relaxing evening with my hubby is good enough for me! Do you have anything fun or romantic planned? xoxo - Julie

Sweet Finds for V-Day

Valentine's Day is just a couple weeks away and while I'm not the biggest fan of this particular day (just never really make a big deal of it), I do think it's a good opportunity to let those who are near and dear to your heart know how much they mean to you...whether it's a significant other, sister, friend, mother...here are some thoughtful gift ideas that cost little but say a lot! XOXO.

2 Years and Counting!

Today my husband Ryan and I celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. Our reception was at this beautiful outdoor venue in Laguna Beach. We had about 200 guests and had so much fun! We went to St. Lucia for our honeymoon and had an incredible time together - I'd like to be back there right now!

RECEPTION ENTRANCE - WE WERE SO HAPPY :)

I just want Ryan to know (I'll make sure he reads this :) that he is my best friend, my rock and the best thing that ever happened to me. He is an incredible person - passionate, loving, strong, caring and he inspires and encourages me to be a better person. Thank you Ryan for loving me unconditionally, for putting up with me when I'm a pain in the ass! and for being an amazing husband and friend. I'm looking forward to growing old together and celebrating many more anniversary's along the way! Cheers!

I wish you all a very happy weekend...whether you're planning on celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow or not :) My hubby and I decided to lay low and hang out at home this year - we don't have the money or the enthusiasm this year to jump on the V-Day wagon! A couple of glasses of wine, a nice home-cooked meal...that's what we'll be doing. What are you up to? Any special plans?!
