Engagement Anniversary!!
Today it has been exactly one year since the Fatkid proposed I cannot believe how fast this last year has gone and the wedding will be here before we know it! I apologize that I have been absent lately but in my absence I was doing the following things: Writing my final paper for law school (due tomorrow!!) Applying for the bar – DONE!! Taking the MPRE – Done! (Hopefully I passed ) Working – as much as I can to pay for all the upcoming craziness and unforeseen bills. Sleeping I have been exhausted lately, I’m sure because I am stressed to the max. Trying to make sure that we have all the big things lined up for the wedding. Try to bear...
Read MoreWedding Update!
First I want to THANK YOU for saying prayers for Jack last week. The biopsy revealed NO CANCER!! It was an infection and I could not be happier for their family. For those of you who asked, Jack is my maid of honor’s nephew. Second I want to say that I think what happened yesterday at the Boston Marathon was horrific. My heart and prayers go out to all those involved. I started to write this the night before it happened and now my perspective has shifted but I will let you guys read it anyway: So when I posted about the wedding last time everything was coming together perfectly. The colors were all turning out just right, the invitations all got out...
Read MoreFinally!! Winners of Firedaughter and pics from Vegas :)
Oh. My. God. I swear the last few weeks have been the longest ever. My computer kept crashing on my so I couldn’t get my papers for school done, we went to Vegas, I am trying to get ready for graduation and finish applying to the bar. It’s been insane. So, I’m sorry for not posting. I literally not get my computer to do anything for more than five minutes. So FINALLY here are the winners of the Firedaughter giveaway Erin (Running Tall): I would LOVE to win the first one because A) words to live by and B)I’m 6 feet tall so I’m not exactly in the category of “little” haha. And I liked both of you on FB and followed you on...
Read MoreDIY Wedding Invitations!
Finally!! The DIY Wedding Invitation post is here I think almost everyone must have gotten theirs by now so hopefully I’m not ruining it for anyone. This was the teaser post I had on instagram when I sent them out… And THIS is the final product! I wish you could see how pretty the colors actually are in real life. The grey is a rich charcoal and the blush is a lite blush, the sparkles are closer to champagne than gold. This is how I wrapped them up to send them out and yes I wrapped and tied each bow individually. And finally this is how I made them: 1. I order the paper online from PaperSource. I got blush invites and RSVP cards and dark grey envelopes...
Read MoreTwo Year Blogiversary
So our Two Year Blogiversary has come and gone it was February 26th and last year I had a great post for it and I have my first ever blog post too. This year I was so slammed with life that I did post on Facebook about it and even though we didn’t get to 10,000 Likes the day OF our Blogiversary, we got there the day after so I am going to host a giveaway with FireDaughter Clothing – my all time favorite local workout clothing designer. Samya is amazing. I am going to give her a minute to get back to normal before I host it because she has a loss in her family she is dealing with so I will probably do it next week. So a little late but Happy Two Year...
Read MoreCrazy stress and wedding updates!
Wedding Update!! These last few weeks have been insanely busy and so stressful – but all for good things! Unfortunately when I am stressed I don’t sleep well and my TMJ acts up horribly and then I sleep worse, it’s a vicious cycle. [I don't know if I have mentioned it before but I have bad TMJ - I have since high school but it went undiagnosed until college. Unfortunately I already have arthritic joints in one side of my jaw so I do everything I can to try to tame it.] So anyways, I have either been waking up wide awake at 3:30 am or sleeping for like 9 hours and still waking up exhausted. Hence why I went to the gym at 4:15 yesterday! This week I...

Read MoreWedding Updates and BBQ Chicken
Warning! This is not a ‘clean’ recipe but the Fatkid is obsessed with it so I thought I would share it with you guys in case not everyone in your family eats clean all the time. Put 3-4 chicken breasts in the slow cooker – I use frozen boneless, skinless. Cut up one onion and put in as well. Mix together: 1/2 cup zesty italian dressing 1/2 cup – 1 cup barbecue sauce 1-2 tbsp brown sugar Pour over the chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until chicken shreds apart easy. Done! It even tastes good cold for lunch the next day. Now for the updates I am cracking down to study for finals but first I was able to celebrate one of my bridesmaids...
