Dress: Target
Shoes: Cole Haan
The dress that started it all - I wore this dress on my first post ever!
I suck. I know. Believe me, it's not that I don't WANT to blog .... I've just been SO busy!
Between planning a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom, going to Vegas for a work event, becoming an official freelance marketer, loosing the ONLY key to my car (100 miles away from home), AND John being out of town for a week - I've been just a little preoccupied :)
ANYWAY:
1. My mom's surprise party was GREAT! Even though I plan events for my job everyday, It was so much fun to actually plan something start to finish that were all my own ideas! And no, my mom wasn't surprised!I themed the entire party using inspiration from my mom's favorite flowers: Daisies :)
Mason jars, un-popped popcorn, tea light candles and daisies!
Hanging baby food jars and handmade chalkboards
Fresh lemons in my flower arrangements :)
The doorstep decor
I folded 50 paper cranes!
My faithful party slave! aka Ellie who helped me set up the party
while my mom was "sleeping"
If anyone needs a party planned - I'm your girl!
2. This past weekend I went to Vegas to read The Help (best book ever!) ....and host a cocktail reception :)
4. Yup, my sister lost (the ONLY) key to my car. In St. Augustine. A week ago. Needless to say my mom and I have been on the phone for days working with my insurance company, the Jeep dealership, a locksmith, and a tow truck company to try and get this problem resolved. And I am happy to report that as of 5:07pm today I have a new key to my car!
5. John joined his brother and extended family for a week long vacation in the Florida Keys to do some open season lobstering and fishing. 2 lobsters and 39 red snappers later - I STILL have yet to see any of that yumminess. WTF!
And there you have it. The official Maggie update :)
Maggie that party for your mom looks beautiful! Did you get some of those ideas from Pinterest by any chance?! Also, you can definitely plan a party for me some day! :)
