A Very Classy Easter

My Easter was interesting. As with most holidays over the past year, I joined Sister's Bakery for some sugar cookie decorating. I just celebrated my One Year Anniversary with Sister's, thank you very much.

Then we went to church of course... 7 am church! Cute outfit, huh?

(Don't know how well you can see those pockets, but they each hold a wine bottle perfectly!)

Then my husband decided to drag me on a 100+ mile joy ride with a bunch of hooligans while I was wearing my Easter best. Nothing more traditional than a Volvo Tokyo drifting around Missouri with a polka dot clad screaming wife!

Then we celebrated Easter/Mom's Birthday with a cheese tournament (complete with bracket...sort of), wine, and a macaron cake (more on my macaron obsession later).

Top Models: Part 2

That's right. More pictures from our "modeling" experience. It's been so cool seeing pics from so many different photographers. These photographers are located in Kansas City, St. Louis and San Antonio. Take a look! I'd definitely recommend all of them!

Top Models: Part 1

My husband and I were asked to model for photography workshop over the weekend. We pretty much love getting our picture taken, and I think we're relatively photogenic! What do you think? These shots are by Aimee Geis Photography. Check out her website!

 Handsome, right?!

My Valentine's Day (According to Instagram)

... Because everything looks better with filters.

Hey everybody! Come see how cute I look in my layered necklaces! Top one is from Francesca's, bottom one is from Ebay.

Valentine's Day brought about another successful cookie batch!

... and cake pops... and weird tasting red velvet sparkling drink!

Husband took me for lunch at Succotash. Unfortunately, he did not buy me this cake.Sad face.

Mmmm. Salmon salad.

I have a new office now! I wore pink pants. I got flowers and Hallmark cards, of course!

Minnesnowta

My lovely friends and I ventured to the great white north (Minneapolis) this weekend. What were we thinking going to Minnesota in February?! We were thinking - I really want to drink a lot of wine and get trapped in a blizzard!

*****

Does anyone utilized Pedialyte as much as I do to cure those days after you drink a box of wine? Well you should. Sometimes I crave Pedialyte, not because I feel sick, but because I'm pretty sure I could feel better!

We bought these lovely BFF necklaces from Francesca's. 

We took pictures of random things: owl necklace, tassel necklace, turquoise flower ring, Essie nails in Turquoise and Caicos, Holly Lolly nails, and of course a Franzia box.

When we weren't drinking Pedialyte, we had delicious espresso!

We stole some guys glasses/he left them at our home. Looking geek chic, huh?!

Then we drove home in a blizzard... followed by rain, followed by fog, followed by wind. Oh Midwestern travel!

Party Arty - Eternal Spring

We attended Party Arty again this year at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It was really beautiful and a breath of fresh air since the theme was Eternal Spring. I think we did justice to the spring theme in our gloriously floral attire!

This gal was our favorite live statue. Loved her tail!

 

We like to get artistic toward the end of the night...

 

Cute dress, right?!

Can't go wrong w/ peacocks!

My fascinator is from Donna's Dress Shop. Cutest little place, and I think head pieces are my new thing! So Kate Middelton!

Love you, Frida!

Adventures in Babysitting

Hubby and I had the pleasure of babysitting my nephew this weekend. He is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I have/had a fear of babies, but I think his angelic behavior is helping me get over it. We did lots of cool stuff together!

We watched Top Gear together!

We sat on the couch together.

We looked super cute together.

And laid on the floor together.

We wore stripes together.

And looked cute again!

And we chowed down... a lot.
