Superbowl, Baby Shower, Cakes, Oh My! :)

(Warning... LOTS of pictures in this post, you've been warned lol!)

Call me crazy...

But there were basically two reasons why I cared about watching the Super Bowl tonight...
Reason #1 - Miranda and Blake Singing "America the Beautiful"


I LOVE them! Loved her pink microphone, she looked so pretty, and he so handsome!
If you missed it watch it here...
(Just to note, Kelly Clarkson was pretty amazing too, she killed it, love her!)

Reason #2 - Tom Brady

 


No explanation needed, just look at the pic haha. He is so cute, right up there with David Beckham in my book (and of course my handsome BF ha!)

Meanwhile, Frankie sure did enjoy the Puppy Bowl ...


hahahaha he sat right up and watched them and growled and barked, it was hysterical!
next year he needs to be in the Puppy Bowl, wonder how you go about signing up for that? lol

My favorite thing of the week...
With Valentine's Day right around the corner... if you are in need of an idea to tell your honey... no need to ask, I am here to help! ;)

I am in love with comfy pajama pants, and sadly enough, when I find a pair I really like, it is very likely I will buy every single color so that I can rotate!
(Don't judge, they can be hard to find!)

Feast your eyes on my new loves...



Lace-Waist Lounge Pant PINK! by Victoria's Secret
$34.50 ... come in pink, grey, blue and black... literally the softest most comfortable lounge pant I have ever purchased and I am obsessed with them! The lace is so cute and comfy too, not itchy.
You will love them!

Beautiful Baby Shower ...
Yesterday was one of my BFF's since high school, Emily's, baby shower we have been planning for (see this post) for months and I must say, it turned out so fabulous!

Emily looked gorgeous, the decor was beautiful, the food AMAZING, the most presents one has ever seen at a shower were opened (we had to have a half time break I am not joking) and oh, don't think I forgot.. the cake was BEAUTIFUL and delicious and I had my first experience ordering cake pops and oh my they were so cute!! Here are some pics so far from the day...
(Thanks Katie, I stole some of yours!)

It was a "Sip and See" theme... very delicate and beautiful with tea cups and flowers and such :)


Beautiful tea cups, flowers, pink lemonade, paper pom poms, silver tea sets = classic decor


The food was amazing... catered locally by Season's Catering, they were so great!
1. Pimento Cheese Mini's
2. Vegetable Lettuce something that little nuts and a sauce in it ??
3. Chicken and Cilantro Poppers
4. Asparagus and Cheese wraps
5. Mini Twice Baked Potatos (O.M.G I could not stop eating these!)
6. Mini Crab Cakes... literally melted in your mouth! Were my favorite!


Another outstanding job by my favorite cake place, Confused Confections Bakehouse
Cake Pops with pink glitter and then pink drizzle on white chocolate... and pink rice krispy treats with the babie's initials on them! Then check out this beautiful cake...


How pretty is that? Loved it! Those ladies are to talented... and it tasted just as good as it looked!!

Sweet Mama with some of her million presents, lol

 


Katie made this cute tea pot pottery pieces to give away as favors to our guests... they were so cute!! 


Played a fun game of guess what was in the bag related to babies!! Such a good idea!



Katie also made the letters for Lila's room and this painting above that all the guests stamped their thumb print on ... I love this... once she is born she is going to go back and put her weight, height, date of birth, etc to have all her info on there! Such a wonderful idea!


Emily and her mom, Julie (my fave!) :)


Emily & her mother in law, Christine : )


Anne & her mama!


Me as the offical cake cutter ha!


Daddy Bobby getting prepared with the new car seat haha!

Some randoms of guests...





I think we deamed this the prettiest bow on all the gifts maybe? Em it's a great picture of you!


And the new Mama and Daddy to be :)
(In case anyone is wondering, Emily's super cute dress is from Target! I know people will ask! How cute is it? Love the belt too!)

Shew! What a party! So fun to celebrate baby Lila!! :)
Love you Emily!! XOXO

I am doing a seperate post tomorrow on Emily's gift from me... as it goes with my Pinterest Monday blog posts ... and I want to give a major shout out to the Etsy store!! :) So check back tomorrow!!

PS. I guess my team lost? Poor Tom :(

Weekend Random

This weekend has flown by! It was beautiful weather here and I am so thankful for that! I am bound and determined to not get the "winter blues" this year, lol, and this 55 degree sunshine in January is really helping me! :)

I had an AWESOME Open House Today.. One of the BEST ever!


39 people that I counted came out to see this house today! WOW!
If you live in Lex and know anyone looking for a finished basement, in the Hartland neighborhood or area, that has been updated, please tell them about this house! It's a great deal!!

(Click on pic to take you to the MLS link, listed with Dana Gentry @ RE/MAX Creative Realty)

Next on the agenda... my OOTD ... which consists of my absolute favorite shirt right now...


Shirt from JCrew (click here to view) it's a faded denim, half button. SO comfy!
Black legging/pants are from JCrew (last year)
Black Koolaburra Fringe Boots (last year but they still have them I think) my FAVE boots!

I finally got to do a mini present time with my Godson Connor this weekend!
He is SO big!


Look at that face hahaha so cute, with a little meanness in him too! <3

I am missing this little thing sooooooooo much...
Makes me sad to even look at that pic! He is STILL not home :( Hopefully tomorrow will be the day!

I did find this at TJ Maxx that I thought about getting for Chris to wear when Frankie comes home since he will still be sore and a little sicky...

Hahahahahaahaha!
Wouldn't that be hilarious? I would pay a good amount of money to see Chris wear this with Frankie!
You would do it for me and Frank right babe??  ;)

Tonight is some GOOD TV ... let me remind you...

- Desperate Housewives is BACK!            
- The Good Wife (my very favorite show!)
- Real Housewives of Atlanta                     
                                              - Chef Roble (I have recently gotten into this but it's good, I like him!)
- Bravo Andy                                                
                                            - Kourtney & Kim Take Miami (double new episodes back to to back)

and...
Joel Osteen and his wife are on Oprah's show on OWN tonight at 9pm and I LOVE him...


Lastly, my beautiful friend, Emily, is preggo!


And I am helping plan her baby shower which is in February.. I am in charge of the cake (duh!) and her theme is a "Sip & See" Tea Baby Shower... so cute!

What do ya'll think about these cake pops... ? (I am obsessed with Cake Pops!)


Maybe Cake Pops for Party Favors when the guests leave, with a cute little "Thank You" from the Mommy & Daddy attached!

Then here is a combo of the cakes I have chosen so far... will probably take bits and pieces from them all and combine to make something fabulous!

I am SOO excited for Emily's shower! Can't wait to celebrate her new "Mommy to Be" status!

The shower is going to be celeb style, let me just tell you!
Emily knows how to throw a party (clearly we were always meant to be friends!) and her awesome mom is having it catered and everything!

There may or may not even be a little makeup session being done prior with the mommy to be and the hostesses (is that a word?) and some fake eyelash action going on! Haha! That is how we do it ;)

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!
Come back tomorrow for some Pinterest!! :)

And hopefully my baby will be home tomorrow too! I feel like I need to get him something new ha, everyone needs a "feel better" present when they're sick... don't you agree??

OH AND HOW COULD I FORGET...?
Look what I've been working on this weekend too...

I am going to try a blog sale! :)
Now I just have to start cleaning out my closet!!! Wish me luck!!

XO,
