Wonders from the weekend

 < charming rocking chairs in the Charlotte airport >



Hey there Monday, why do you come so soon? I just had one of the very best weekends ever with my two best friends and an amazing group of friends celebrating in Charleston. This was my first visit to this charming town, and let me tell you I was not ready to leave! I have so many more fun pictures to share with you from my trip, but for now here are a few snapshots from my weekend trip to the South!

Jamba!

Hey there, 3P pretties! I am so excited to announce that I am teamed up with Jamba Juice as an ambassador! This means hosting Jamba parties, where delicious smoothies can be shared to no end! Jamba Juice was 'sweet' to send me a box or two full of Jamba swag, and I am excited to share these goodies with friends at an upcoming get together! I am also looking forward to hikes in the beautiful spring weather and yoga in the park, with a healthy Jamba Juice treat to enjoy after and keep the healthy lifestyle going!

Easter Decorations

< Simple little centerpiece with lots of bunnies! >

 I know Easter has come and gone, but I am still somehow in the Easter spirit!  What can I say- there is no holiday that I do not want to extend, especially when it is in honor of the good Lord above.  Here is a peek at the Easter decorations I placed around our house, right after I removed the St. Patty's day decor.  You can also get a glimpse of last year's Easter decorations here.  


< Easter breakfast table >


< Lambs, bunnies, and chicks, oh my! >


< Mr. Hoppity, the cookie store guy >


< Sweet bunnies and sweets on the kitchen bar >


< Carrots for this li'l guy to enjoy >


< Duck, duck, duck and a few Easter eggs >


 < Skinny mantle full of spring colors >
