fashion, food, fitness + a dose of sarcastic gossip

Lifestyle, weekend recap

2014 :: year in review

January 5, 2015

I know a lot of people posted the “2014 post” last week on the 31st of December or the 1st of January….. but that time for me was still vacation time from work! 
I don’t know how bloggers are always so on top of it during the holidays? All I am focused on in eating and drinking as much as humanly possible.  That and watching TV and online shopping……. that is pretty much it.  What else could a girl need ? 

So for today, hopefully we can pretend it’s 1st as we recap the year! 
2014 was by far the busiest, most exciting year filled with the most change.  {with more weddings, bachelorette parties, and showers than a girl could count – and I loved every one of them!}
:: January :: 
I met my nephew for the first time.  He decided he couldn’t wait another minute to meet everyone and was born a few weeks early in December 2013, but I wasn’t able to fly home to meet him until his expected arrival date.

 at a month old he was still the tiniest thing I had ever seen. 


I have no experience with babies at all, and have never considered myself a “baby person”, and I am so in love with him and want to stare at him and eat him to pieces all day long.  

:: February :: 
 I quit the gym {it’s the little things people…. it was two years overdue.}
celebrated my best friends bachelorette weekend in Charleston
first time there and I absolutely love it and cannot wait to go back 


our engagement party

ski trip to lake geneva

:: March :: 
joint bridal shower in atlanta


best friends wedding in atlanta


:: April ::
my family flew in for my chicago shower 

 28th birthday (ugh. woof.) 


:: May :: 
my bachelorette party in Nashville 



:: June :: 
Our Wedding Weekend !


Honeymoon in St. Lucia 
which I never did a post on…. errr oops. maybe 2015 is the year for me following through.



another best friends wedding 


:: July ::


two bridal showers



chandler’s baptism 


:: August ::
best friends bachelorette in NYC 



trip to boston for my brothers wedding party 


:: September :: 
a best friends wedding 


closed on our first home ! 


:: October ::
three more wedding celebrations 



:: November ::
a surprise ER stay for appendicitis 


 I made seriously pretty doughnuts {again, it’s the little things}



thanksgiving with the in-laws in chicago 



:: December ::
a beautiful baby shower for one of my best friends 


first married christmas



annual family trip to Grand Cayman, with the prettiest sunsets ever seen this year. 


it was the most fun, crazy, exciting year yet, made even better by how many great things  happened this year for my friends and family as well.  it was so fun to celebrate all of lifes big moments together with the people I’m closest to.  I don’t know how this year could possibly be topped!  


goodness sorry for the total overload of photos in this post. 

and a HUGE thank you to all of you for reading my silly blog this past year 🙂 
your comments and e-mails always make my day
the ones about coffee talk with your thoughts and opinions (cough : and telling me I’m funny : cough) are of course my most favorite of them all
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    Happy New Year! In looking back through these pictures you have the CUTEST clothes! Wow! I love the dress you are wearing in March in Atlanta. I love everything but especially that one!

    Hi! Just wondering where you purchased the ivory cable-knit sweater? I'm always in search of the perfect cable-knit sweater. I want easy fit that covers my butt to wear with leggings and boots. Thanks!

      HI Sherri! Thanks for your sweet message yesterday 🙂 It is from Old Navy but it is last years version. They have great, inexpensive sweaters and usually good options with longer backs. Look for any that have the side slit that show you the back is a bit longer – hope this helps!

  • DIY this high end look for less! I'm sharing the 5 easy steps to disguise your air return cover and all the supplies to complete this project. My favorite part of this easy DIY how-to, is that tou can customize the look with paint color and different metal sheet patterns to match your home decor and aesthetic. I actually used leftover supplies from my DIY built-in shelf and desk in my home office to create this look. It helps elevate the space, adding a touch of elegance and a refined finish without breaking the bank. It was easy and affordable to create this custom look for less. Click to shop the DIY project supplies on Amazon. Note: I used scrap wood I had on hand for the project, but you can also pick up 1x2 wood planks from Amazon or a local hardware or craft store. #ad #Amazon #DIY
