I'm Baaaack!

Hi Everyone!

I'm back....& better than ever!

I've had my first wedding as a planner & am ready to get LF Events officially launched!

Tonight, my website LF Events went LIVE!
A special thanks to two very important & amazing designers, who have helped me get my business where I wanted it to be before I launched!

Kori w/ Paper & Pigtails  &  Michele w/ Intrigue Design Group !

I'm working on an amazing "Wedding in the City" inspiration board for a friend,
that I will have up by Friday!

That's all for now!

BREAK*TIME!!!

HEY EVERYONE!!!

It's been almost a month since my last post...

I've been so busy being a wife, mom, employee,
& wedding planner that I've neglected my blog!

Just a few things to share... 

My latest fun project! Making cake pops!

I'm not a PRO by any means...but these came out so cute & I am very proud of them!

I made these for my friend's daughter's 1st birthday...

And, I've decided to take a BLOGGY break!
(not that I'm around much on here anyways...)

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"! BUT, 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! AND - 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 RIGHT way! I'm so motivated & ready to PLAN away...that I've forgotten some KEY elements to having & maintaining a successful business!

So - this is my last post for awhile...so I can get my act together!

Thanks to all of you for your support...

TALK & BLOG soon!

Wedding Wednesday - LOVE IS SWEET!

It's COOKIE time!

At least for my bride & her groom! She's moved away from a traditional 3 tiered cake...AND on to a cookie, cupcake, & smaller cake type of dessert table! I am actually a HUGE fan of dessert tables & LOVE sweets...so this was GREAT news for me! She sent me a photo of one she is a "fan" of (top photo!) & then I found a few more. She is going with the theme LOVE IS SWEET...which just makes this table all the more SWEETER!! AUGUST is coming fast, we're in the 5 month countdown now...

My Bride's Inspiration!

Wifey - Mondays!

I've been sick the past week...& am ready to get back to business!

Today's post is sharing a salad dressing recipe & sharing my newest purchases!

First, the recipe!

 Absolutely Fabulous Greek Salad Dressing!

I didn't actually make it, hubs did! He's VERY picky with dressing,
so he decided to make his own!

He created a WONDERFUL Greek salad...lettuce, onions, feta, ham, & greek peppers...
And topped it off with this dressing! SO quick & yummy!!

Next, I want share a few of my purchases to help benefit the hubs...in a few different ways!

I joined E-MEALZ!

So far - I love it. I got 2 weeks worth of menus yesterday & went & got the ingridients to make a few this week! I'm so excited. It was so easy to sign up & $15 for 3 months will pay off with easy recipes, shopping lists, & a happy man!!

Which is why I HAD to go & buy this next thing!
If I'm going to cook more...I needed to look CUTE in the kitchen!!
So, I got a Flirty Apron!
Here's the one I ordered! I can't wait for it to arrive!
I'm pretty certain hubs is going to LOVE it!

NEW LOGO - REVEAL!

This will be short & sweet!

Here it is!!

I can't say THANK YOU enough to
Kori, from Paper & Pigtails, for this amazing design!

She took my vision for LF Events to a new level, it's simply amazing, & SHE is simply amazing!

Wedding Wednesday...on Thursday!

Happy March!
This is my ABSOLUTE favorite month...of course, my birthday is this month!

Here's my LATE Wedding Wednesday post...showing off more elements of the wedding I'm currently planning. I just LOVE the Tangerine & Fuchsia colors together!

 Mens Wear - Reception Tables - Cake -
(unfortuntely, I can't find the cake table picture again! This is just a sample of what she wants it to look like, following her colors & theme, LOVE! I would love to link back...so, if anyone knows, let me know!)

Happy Thursday & Have a great rest of the week!

**NEW THEME DAY!!!

I LOVE theme days!

I think they're fun, gives you something to look forward to, 

and also very helpful when blogging!

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! 

So, to help me & the brides I may have the priviledge of working with,

Mondays will now be called...

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!

I will share links & pictures & recipes & kids stuff...and also my own "Wrap-Up" of my week as a wife! I hope you all find this new "theme" as fun as I do! Even if you're not a wifey - Hopefully you'll find some small parts that can apply, even a simple recipe can come in handy for anyone!

Since this post is quite long...today's post will just be a quick one!

Here's the cologne I bought my man for LOVE day! He really liked the smell, as for me?

I didn't at first, and purely bought it because he wanted it.

A few weeks into it...like 5 uses, I actually like it! You may want to take a sniff*

Make it a wonderful week!
