</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Over the holiday weekend...I made a 5 layer rainbow cake along w/ homemade butter cream! I think it turned out GREAT for my first attempt. I was practicing for my daughter's birthday party in 3 weeks...but I actually didn't like the "look" of the cake & so I'm not going to do it for her party! <br />
My kids DID love the cake & it's almost gone!</span> </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimaZFzrRK3WCQUjQqe9sRpztLjSksJ1gTAmJGQDuGCErROyxTLfbnvN0s23e2pY9KJ9TOg4ldy6Kk6dgD16riSbZZUSTU1ttesB4tuC1NwS0ahGD18RUf6mQmP7pRLl10YhxFX5Gv-BRID/s1600/Rainbow+Slice.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimaZFzrRK3WCQUjQqe9sRpztLjSksJ1gTAmJGQDuGCErROyxTLfbnvN0s23e2pY9KJ9TOg4ldy6Kk6dgD16riSbZZUSTU1ttesB4tuC1NwS0ahGD18RUf6mQmP7pRLl10YhxFX5Gv-BRID/s320/Rainbow+Slice.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">So, like I said, I've been working on major planning & details for my daughter's 2nd birthday, on the 25th! Of course, she isn't nearly as concerned as I am, but I want everything to look perfect...so I have 3 separate lists to work from. The "to-buy" list, the "to-make" list, & then the "i-wish" list! Last night, I made a mini-cake topper bunting! I am so proud of it...& it was so easy! I will share all those details soon enough! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: #351c75;">And last, I'm working on a 3-day extravaganza party for my best friend. It's 3 days, in another city, no details spared! I'm getting more & more excited about the details & planning! (good thing I'm invited!!) <br />
Here's a picture of the resort & spa we're going to stay at!</span> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She was a fun, DIY, budget bride...with lots of <span style="color: magenta;">COLOR</span> behind her vision. <br />
I've shared along the way everything...<br />
from our dream boards, to the dresses, to the venues. <br />
<br />
The past Saturday, was <span style="color: orange;">THE</span> big day! <br />
There were a few minor issues throughout the day...<br />
but almost <span style="color: magenta;">ALL</span> of the day was perfect! <br />
From the singers at the church, she walked down the aisle to "So Amazing" by Luther Vandross, performed by an amazing vocalist...to the jumping of the broom...to the brightness & <span style="color: magenta;">POP</span> of the <span style="color: orange;">tangerine</span> & <span style="color: magenta;">fuschia</span> reception venue! There was so much personalization <span style="color: orange;">EVERYWHERE</span>. <br />
An entry way of pictures, from when the couple first met <br />
to a double dose of engagment shots! <br />
some dancing shoes...tangerine uplighting...</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">a custom-made (by the groom!) card box...<br />
and a "<span style="color: magenta;">love is sweet</span>" cookie buffet - with milk! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">AND - there was no garter taken off, no bouquet thrown, <br />
& <span style="color: orange;">DEFINITELY</span> no money dancing! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">& I was very PROUD of the bride for deciding against those OH-SO traditonal elements! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm going to share a few sneaks that the catering company sent me, <br />
to hold me until the photographer sends his over! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But first, I just want to say that this entire experience, from start to finish, was a "dream" for me in so many ways. I had an idea..."I think I wanna be a wedding planner..." inspired at that time, over a year ago, by a few fun celeb planners! I <span style="color: magenta;">NEVER</span> imagined I would get the chance to see if my "idea" was going to be the "it" thing for me. I always seem to go in circles with what I want to be when I grow up...& decided to persue this, start <span style="color: magenta;">LF Events</span>, & make a go of it. Although, I have a <span style="color: orange;">VERY</span> long, long way to go with my business....I'm proud of what I've accomplished in a year! I am dedicated to working harder & smarter to achieve more and more of my goals! I have met a few of the best in the business, and I let their words of motivation & inspiration continue to guide me! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">....so on with a few pictures!</span> </div><div align="center"><br />

(not that I'm around much on here anyways...) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I stress every day wondering what to blog about...when not very much is happening with LF Events right now that I can "show off"! <span style="color: magenta;">BUT</span>, things are happening behind the scenes! I've consulted a wedding planning business coach, I'm writing up all my important documents (biz plan, services, pricing, etc...) & also continuing to plan my August bride's wedding weekend! <span style="color: magenta;">AND</span> - next month I'm doing a 4 day apprenticeship with a local event planning company! I need to learn, research, absorb, & do all this the <span style="color: magenta;">RIGHT</span> way! I'm so motivated & ready to <span style="color: magenta;">PLAN</span> away...that I've forgotten some <span style="color: magenta;">KEY</span> elements to having & maintaining a successful business! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So - this is my last post for awhile...so I can get my act together! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks to all of you for your support...<br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I think they're fun, gives you something to look forward to, </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and also very helpful when blogging! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've been pondering how to "title" Mondays...and then it hit me! I'm a wedding planner & coordinator. BUT, once you're married, then what? What do you do? I just celebrated my 8th month of marriage, I search online for date ideas (with a toddler close by!) & I look for easy & delicious meals to prepare...you get my drift!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, to help me & the brides I may have the priviledge of working with, </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mondays will now be called...</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mondays will include all things that may help any wife! I have one bride right now, who I've become very close with, we've built a friendship as we plan her special & fabulous wedding day! I can only hope after the rings are exchanged, she, along with my future brides, can visit back here & get some helpful tips or even share their own! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I will share links & pictures & recipes & kids stuff...and also my own "Wrap-Up" of my week as a wife!

It's hard work with an (almost) full-time corporate job, a husband, 3 kids, & just to ice the cake, we're moving this weekend, which is long overdue, since we've been living with family for almost a year so my hubs could finish school! Some days, I just can't find 10 minutes to blog or read all my tweets, or Facebook statuses from everyone...I often thought I was alone, until talking to the ladies this past weekend. I know now, some of us share a lot more than our love for entertaining/crafting/planning/styling/etc...! </span></div><div align="left" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div align="left" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
In the coming weeks, I will be working (with help!) on my new logo. Until then, I will try to blog a bit more & update you on the planning of my 1st client's wedding, which will be in August. I also had to nix the big 32 party, as my birthday falls right after St. Patty's Day & a handful of my friends seem to be full of plans already. So, I will do something simple with the other handful of friends, perhaps a fun pool party! I may have to hire on some of my new party friends for decor & fun sweet treats!! How exciting! </span></div><div align="left" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><div align="left" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's all for now! Go visit my party friends' pages & leave them some love! </span><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And check back with me as I embark on a new adventure...with lots of fun along the way! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, today I found 2 things to turn my "terrible" into "terrific"! </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, I got an email from </span><a href="http://www.dsw.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DSW</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, which was showcasing their new line of shoes,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> from the Miss.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's some of my faves:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">And then....after a few hours later I decided I needed a real pick me up! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So, at my office, we have this fancy-pants coffee/tea maker. You buy a "flavor" from a vending machine, for 50 cents & put the packet into a machine & put your cup underneath, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">and out comes your fresh cup of hotness!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> I've started to get one around 3:00 everyday! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Today, I tried a new flavor....and found my "terrible" Tuesday instantly became "terrific"! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my main goals this year is to lose some post-baby pounds! I have gained a total of about 195lbs, with all 3 of my kids! When I was 19 & 20, it seemed much easier to get rid of those extra pounds than it's been this time around. SO - I've decided to find motivation from outside sources & get on board to lose these pounds, before my daughter turns 2, in September! <br />
<br />
I found a new product, the </span><a href="http://www.babooshbaby.com/servlet/the-2/Baboosh-Body-Unisex-/Detail"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Baboosh Body, by Brooke Burke</span></a><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I used it today for the 1st time & loved it! In the last 10 days, I've worked out 5. That's not bad, considering the last time I was at the gym, was last Summer! I commited to 4-5 days a week, in my list of 2011 goals! <br />
<br />
I also decided for the first 3 1/2 months (until my March 18th birthday...) <br />
I would become a vegetarian. I was a vegan for almost 8 years, and was in the best shape & felt healthy & just overall fabulous! I don't want to go over board with that just yet, but so far, 10 days into being vegetarian, I am feeling great! <br />
<br />
So, as we go into the second week of the new year...I wish you all luck with your goals & staying motivated! <br />
<br />
I will go into my goals for LF Events in my next post! <br />
<br />
Stay Tuned...&...Have a great week!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577625327498124547.post-5966911710387895462010-12-07T16:28:00.002-05:002010-12-07T16:32:45.640-05:0011th Birthday Party - Tampa Bay Rays & Baseball Theme<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The party finally came! It was fun & simple...aside from the limo stealing the show, picking up all the kids & dropping them off at the party! I doubt they even noticed all the little touches I added & had been planning for weeks. That's ok...I just wanted my son to have a great time with his friends, as this was the first party I've created/designed for one of my kids. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy the pictures!!</span></div><br />

The tasting consisted of Chicken Marsala, Honey-Glazed Carrots, and Potatoes. It was all delish! My bride was very happy and so we ended our search there! If you're in my area, you should definitely check them out, </span><a href="http://www.cateringbyroberttampa.com/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Catering by Robert</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I'm getting a cd from a photographer tomorrow to see her work, because she is a school teacher by day, photographer by night and on weekends! I LOVE to find small businesses that run in the small amount of spare time the owners have, just because they love to do it! I meet with my bride again on Saturday, for our monthly meeting. I will post again then and include some pictures of the reception venue as well! </span><br />

I learned a lot of IMPORTANT lessons from this tablescape! First, don't try to do anything like this at 8pm! Although I had some really bright spotlights, the natural sunlight would have been 100x's better! Second, I think I may need a professional photographer to work with on these projects! My $100 digital camera didn't exactly do what I wanted it to. And last, my table needs MORE! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So...here are the photos that I chose to show off! I'm very proud of these table features!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've decided to take steps towards my dream job, and this is part one.<br />
I'm becoming a MOMpreneur! I'm a wife, mom of 3, work a coporate-world job and want to explore this dream and see where it goes.<br />
<br />
Just 5 days ago, I began to "brand" myself. I ordered business cards off VistaPrint (which I received today!) and selected my blog name. I am currently working on my 1st wedding, for an August 2011 bride and planning a few parties as well.<br />
<br />
I've also just discovered an organization called "Wish Upon A Wedding" that I'm hoping to get involved with.<br />
(this is an organization that provides weddings and vow renewals for terminally-ill patients)<br />
<br />
I will be working on a few tablescapes in the next few weeks and will post some photo blogs soon!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and check back often!<br />
<br />
