beer scout books

Kinda like girl scout cookies for the men in your life, these small notebooks are sure to hit the spot. Add a gift certificate from Bierkraft or a beer of the month club membership for the perfect groomsmen gift!

Hopefully they'll last longer than a box of cookies! Scoutbooks available here / designed by BS Brewing

Totally simple table number idea I have to try sometime...

Places for books: The Strand / Books by the Foot

Along that same line... Alphabet built out of books

display a beach collection

I'm quite an avid collector of shells and beach rocks. For every milestone vacation in my life, I have a small plastic bag filled with a items that have carefully made it back home.

Never knowing what to do with these things, I was super-delighted to spot this really cool keepsake project on The Crafts Dept.

Created as an anniversary gift, it's a great way to remember all those memories and display the pieces that although small are such important bits of your life. For the how-to and list of materials to recreate this on your own, visit The Crafts Dept.

Florida Visit Recap

We captured some really good photos from this past weekend in Florida with my family that I wanted to share. Most of the weekend was spent being silly and fooling around.

The first day John and I spent time enjoying the weather with a nice lunch and visit to my grandmother. Her birthday was on Saturday and we celebrated the big 8-6 with her that evening.

I really enjoying the visit - getting a chance to spend some time with each of the kids was really important to us and it gave John and I a great opportunity to bond with each of them. Coordinating meals for 13 certainly isn't an easy task, but even with all the insanity, this trip is something we're sure to remember for a long time to come.

sunshine state here i come

John and I are heading out tomorrow morning on quite a big adventure. We're going to be visiting my parents and grandmother in sunny F-L-O-R-I-D-A!!!

Along for the trip are my brothers with their entire families. It's the first time all of us will be together in over two years - and will be that much sweeter since the trip just happens to fall during my grandmother's birthday.

Excited to be able to spend the next few days playing with our three nieces and two nephews. I'm hoping to come home with an award for favorite Auntie ever!

Hope you enjoy the weekend and I'll see you back here next week...
