Destination Wedding – The Hamptons


**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links


 Hey y'all

The legendary Hamptons is a summer playground for many East-coasters. With its beachy glamour, opulent residences, crystal blue skies, and scents of the sea, the Hamptons are a coveted spot for a summer wedding.

So… What would you wear to a Hamptons Wedding? Well let’s talk about it. Most styles seen in this area for weddings seem to involve shades of blue or maxi dresses. The designs remind me of the beach. They exude modern coolness with crisp clean lines.

A Hamptons’ wedding fits my personal style easily. I consider myself to be a breezy, tropical kind of girl. The only drawback for me is that I feel like my style maybe a bit too beachy casual for a wedding. I hate going out to buy fancy clothes that I'm only going to wear once, but there is a company who has all of that covered for people like me and possibly you too.


The company is Rent The Runway. They offer a huge selection of clothing and accessories. They also offer a wide range of sizes from petite to plus. So there is definitely something for just about everyone.

Now back to this Hamptons’ Wedding...

These are my 3 favorite styles

Z loves baby A

Hey y'all,

So, I realize more and more how much Z loves Baby A ( his little cousin). They are super adorable together. She wakes up in the mornings before he goes to school to see him off. He gives her a kiss and hug every nght before he goes to sleep. They watch cartoons together. He tries to teach her the alphabet, numbers, and anything else he learns at school. He is her protector. I love the that they love each other so much.


They hold hands while she does tumy time. Aren;t these two jst precious?

Writing with Z


Hey guys.

Z and I have been offered the opportunity to test out a handwriting software. I am super excited about it, because I want him to be able to write legibly by the time Kindergrten starts in August. Woo Hoo!!!! From browsing the company's site, I can already tell this is going to work out pretty darn good.

Z is a total left hander. This makes it a bit more difficult for me because I'm right handed. This is another reason I am excited about the software. It takes some of the stress off me. We took it for a test run yesterday. Let me tell you, he got super pumped to see just his name on the sheet.

A little about the product...
It is a downloadable software by StartWrite. You install it and it allows you to create your own personalized handwriting sheets. You can Download Demo here. It will allow you to test it for yourself.


Now to the final business at hand...
One lucky reader will win a full version of the software to test with Z and I. Enter below.

Welcome 2015

Hey y'all. Happy new year.

I know we've been in 2015 for 10 days, now. I'm finally getting a chance to get back to you all. Let's recap the last 10 or so days. New Year's Day was lackluster at best. We did the usual sit, eat, and watch television. Boring, I know. After that, we have made vegan cupcakes, enchiladas, and gumbo just to name a few things. Aside from all the cooking, z started back to school on Tuesday. Yay!!! Mommy's free during the days again. I'm preparing to start a healthier lifestyle so I have more energy and shed some unwanted pounds. I've also received lots of products to review during this change. I will tell you about them as I try them. I've also received a few cool items for giveaways. So stay tuned for those. That kinda sums up what's been going on around here.
