So now is the time for me to bombard you with photos from the best Mom/Daughter weekend in Savannah!! It was so much fun to spend time with my mom in this fun city. It has a lot of the same qualities that Charleston, SC has but also has its own personal kind of charm. The layout was a little tricky but all the winding streets of history and picture perfect southern charm were so beautiful. Here are a few of our favorite parts of the trip....

Savannah Weekend // pt.1
September 15, 2014
The weekend in Savannah was perfection!! This was the first trip with my mom since I've been married and it was so wonderful to have a little weekend of girl time. I'm so thankful that I can call that sweet woman one of my best friends! Here are a few of the little things that made our weekend so wonderful.....
enjoying the art of sharing jewelry all weekend // all the laughs while watching the dancing to live music on Barnard Street // learning the awesome news that you can walk around in Savannah with a drink in your hand // finding the best sushi we've ever had in Hilton Head // and then finding the best pizza later that night in Savannah // trying to surprise mom with dinner only for her to pick the same place for lunch, at least I know what she likes, right?
It was a wonderful weekend full of delicious food, new memories
and a lot of laughs! More fun from our weekend coming for ya tomorrow!!

Honestly, I'm a little scared of leopard print. A belt, shoes, scarf, maaaaybe a blouse... but that's about it. So, my stomach did a little flip when I saw that the fashion trend this week with Living in Color Style and Stylin in St. Louis was leopard print! But, I do love these shoes... they are comfortable and always add just enough sas to an outfit. I thought I'd bravely add an extra dose of sas with the belt. Life on the edge, right? One thing that I'm most definitely NOT afraid of is lace. I thought I would wear something I'm very comfortable in so the animal print accents would feel more natural. I'm happy to say that I would gladly wear this outfit around town, and that is exactly what I plan on doing soon! And let's just talk about this delicious fall weather we are having in Greenville this week. Loving it so much!!

I ran across THIS POST recently and I really loved it!! Such a fun concept and I enjoyed answering these fun questions. You should give it a try also & thanks, to yet another Cassie, for the idea!
1// I’m happiest when I’m crawling in bed at night with a freshly washed face and my husband’s head on the pillow next to mine.
2// … especially if it involves him being awake enough to give me a back massage with my Almond Body Butter from The Body Shop!
3// I've always wanted to travel to Germany.
4// My family and I are happy being a family of two for right now, even though the baby fever is something serious!
5// I was a terrible procrastinator. I still am.
6// My first job was as a summer nanny where I got paid cash to lay out by the pool and play with a 7 year old boy, it was pretty awesome.
7// I could probably eat Mexican food every day. Actually, I know I could.
8// I stole a beer glass from a bar once.
9// I was born on the same day as Rebel Wilson, which only makes me want to watch Pitch Perfect.
10// My all-time favorite film is Little Women followed closely by Pride and Prejudice. (both the latest versions, of course)
11// I do a pretty mean Gollum impersonation.
12// I’m still mad that I left my battery charger for my camera at home on our Honeymoon.
13// I met my husband in a bar and ignored him, but then his dance moves caught my attention the following night at a party, then his collogne sealed the deal.
14// I always knew I wanted to marry Peter after THIS vacation.
15// I’m not afraid of staying home alone.
16// I make the best guacamole, thanks to my Mom’s recipe.
17// I have almost no filter when I laugh, I always laugh REALLY loud and everyone stares.
Seriously, it’s embarrassing.
18// I always cry when other people cry, even on TV.
Seriously, it’s embarrassing.
18// I always cry when other people cry, even on TV.
19// I’m a major planner, but I don’t really care if plans change.
20// I spent 4 months without a dishwasher after we got married. We learned a LOT about teamwork.
21// I wish that my Mom will have an amazing time with me this weekend in Savannah for her Birthday.
22// At 5, I was deeply in love with everything, Ariel - I wanted to be a mermaid so badly.
23// I believe if everyone had a relationship with their Maker the world would be a better place.
24// I can’t stand salmon but I love all other fish.
25// Whenever Parenthood is on, I’ll watch it. (Best Show Ever!)
Happy Humpday to you!!
I will be heading to that sweet little Georgia town named Savannah tomorrow
with my Mom for her Birthday weekend getaway!
Prayers for safe travels & a great weekend would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS :)
