I've spent the past week and a half visiting family and friends in Charlotte and making some fun side trips to Boone, Yadkin Valley and DC...who would've thought you could fit all three within a week and a half?!?
As usual it's never enough time to visit with everyone, but I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom and attend my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary shindig (60 YEARS!!!).
My trip started off with no less than a redeye flight and then landing on Cinco de Mayo...my sisters and I take this very seriously as I consider us Mexican food connoisseurs (yes, there is such a thing!) and our lovely meal was rounded out with my oldest nephew getting locked in the bathroom at the restaurant...if you've never seen three adults trying to break a bathroom door down, well then, you're really missing out :)
The next day I drove my mom and I to DC for her Mother's Day gift...we pretty much walked all over DC, saw all the monuments, visited Arlington National Cemetery and went on a fun, cheesy tourist bus ride in, oh, about 24 hours...because that's how we roll!
First stop: the white house!
The next day was my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary dinner...my sister took this photo for us. Aren't they so cute?!
Benjamin and I goofing around during dinner...thanks Heidi for the picture :)
Then we went to Jackson's baseball game...I love that he's playing shortstop! :)
In action!
Addison being a super cute supportive younger sister at Jackson's game :)
Me and Benjamin :)
Benj was not too thrilled with me when I caught him flirting underneath the bleachers...
On Mother's Day, my parents and I went wine tasting in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina...last year I went wine tasting in NC with my mom and we had a great time so we decided to try out some new tasting rooms this time. This is at Laurel Gray Vineyards...
This is at Raffaldini Vineyards...
Raffaldini is a gorgeous location for weddings :)
Vineyards at Shadow Spings...this is the last place we visited before heading to Boone to eat at the Dan'l Boone Inn...
My dad and I...still sporting my DC sunburn...whoops!
Happy Mother's Day!
Visiting with Molly on my way to the airport... :)
In other random news, Mike and I will have our 2 year anniversary one month from today--yeah baby!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Thursday! I've been hanging out on the East Coast this week visiting family and enjoying Mother's Day with my mom-hope all the moms out there had a fabulous Mother's Day!
For this edition of The Resource Room I am sharing Junebug weddings...this is a lovely website and resource for brides...whether big wedding or small, destination or at home. I love this wedding inspiration site in particular because of the "groombug" section of the website...which is for manly modern grooms who help plan their wedding :)
As usual here is a quick screenshot of Junebug's website:
Check back tomorrow for a blog update of my travels :)

It's been a few weeks since I've posted a Resource Room post-you know, where I share all kinds of cool, fun, inspirational ideas for new brides and make the rest of us want to throw parties every weekend ;)
If you've been checking my blog recently, you'll know that I've been slacking on the Resource Room posts because I've been blogging my Haiti trip and experiences...thank you again to everyone for checking back and asking what you can do to help!
Last week I had the pleasure of attending an Association of Bridal Consultants (Greater Los Angeles) event at the ever-so-gorgeous-clifftop Bel Air Bay Club. I'm pretty sure it was one of the nicest networking events I've ever been to. All the featured vendors really brought their game and shared amazing food, cake, wine, dessert, music and linens. Yes, linens! As most experienced wedding coordinators and designers know, linens can totally make or break your event. As such with the ABCGLA event...the linens were amazing and I was able to meet BBj Linen's sales manager Kristy and visit their showroom a few day ago!
Here are a few images that I snapped at the Los Angeles showroom...brides and event coordinators, be sure to keep Kristy at BBj Linen in mind for your reception and/or party needs :)
I love this one--it's so Anthropologie :)
BBj recently started carrying an eco friendly option that is made from water bottles! How cool is that!? Eco friendly options are popping up everywhere for today's brides :)
LOVE these napkins!
This is just a sneak peek of their showroom and linen options...
Thanks for tuning in--Happy Thursday!

As I mentioned in my last post, there is so much more to do in Haiti and I so want to be apart of it. Please think of donating new tents (even used ones-in good condition) and eyeglasses!!
There are so many different things the Haitians need, but after visiting, my feelings are that I want to in the educational area. I feel that if Haitians can continue to go to school and college (which many were destroyed in the earthquake) then they can go on to create a more stable economy and enrich the lives of those in their country.
My current thought is to create a coffee table style photo book and have all proceeds go to charity...for
medical students like Jolius...
and school aged children...
What do you think? If anyone knows a literary agent, let me know :)
Happy Monday!

I have no tips about literary agents but I do think that is a wonderful and generous idea. I'll be cleaning out closets soon and if I locate any of my old glasses I'll be sending them your way!
