Where did you Honeymoon?

Over @ Wedding.Allwomenstalk.com I'm starting a honeymoon guest post series. If you would like to join us and guest post about your amazing honeymoon and why others should honeymoon there email me @ theworldaroundher {at} gmail {dot} com....PS heard about not posting your direct email link because of spam so you get the hint right!

So where did you honeymoon? I was just inspired by Oprah's amazing journey around Australia and posted about each of Aussie's amazing states: 7 Beautiful Destinations for your Australian Honeymoon.

We honeymooned to Naples, Florida....right on the beach!

Winter Storm...

Did I not just write about this! Having a blah day...tired of the snow! But took some photos to share!

(Mini snow man my stepdaughters made!)

(Where do we put it all?!)

(How cool is he!)

All photos by me!

Rain or Snow?

I'm dreaming of Spring and beautiful flowers and rain...even rain! I love the way the rain smells in the Spring and Summer time. The snow always looks pretty at first, but it causes too many accidents and it can be just annoying after a while! But what about the rain? Have you put on your cute rain boots, grabbed a vintage umbrella and twirled around in your wedding dress? Both the rain and the snow can ruin outdoor ceremonies, but I think you know in the winter to except to have an indoor ceremony. So what about you, would you rather have rain or snow on your wedding day or any day?!

Here are some photos to help you think about both....

GO STEELERS!!!!!

GOOOOO STEELERS!!! GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!

In love with another wedding color!

When we were planning our Spring Wedding for 2010 I loved all things turquoise! Then I saw yellow calla lilies with turquoise bridesmaid dresses and I was in wedding planning heaven! So now that our wedding is coming upon it's first anniversary and I'm now a full time wedding blogger, do I still love our wedding colors? You bet...just look at how these two colors shine together!

I will always love yellow and turquoise together! But recently I have fallen in love with another wedding color...shh!

Purple is my new favorite wedding color!! I love this photo shoot from StyleMePretty! Orange and Purple are so gorgeous and brilliant together! Do you have a new favorite wedding color that changed from when you were wedding planning? Have you changed wedding colors several times during your planning? If Turquoise and Yellow were'nt our wedding colors it would have been Purple...mmm and Yellow? Or maybe Purple and Turquoise!

What a long weekend...

A trip to NYC, and many trips in the car with the stepdaughters to the movies, mall, walmart, and blockbuster made up our three day weekend! I've been to NYC many of times to see shows and to shop, but this was one of the best times I've experienced there. We've never been there before with the girls and this time we took them and a friend each for my stepdaughter's sweet 16 and to celebrate our other daughter's birthday, she turned 14 last month. My husband and I went before we were married a few years ago to see Chicago, another great time!

I was so excited to finally get to try Macarons, thanks to Terri @ Try Anything Once for the great tip of finding these treats at La Maison du Chocolat. I loved the raspberry and chocolate one...yum! 


Oh, and how amazing was it to see the cupcake shop that I blogged about! Magnolia Bakery was right in front of me, in person! I was shouting to my husband, "I blogged about them!" 


My stepdaughters had the time of their lives! They loved the Hard Rock Cafe and the Rockefeller Center! It was everyone's first time seeing the ice skating center, it's just so beautiful in person! We went inside the center and there was a long line of people waiting for a show. We asked what show and found out that at 7 PM they were already in line for SNL! 


Here are some personal photos from our wonderful time in NYC Times Square! 

Getting my macarons! 

YUM! 

Where are your favorite places in NYC to visit? 

Blog Q & A!

The lovely Christina from At Least We Have Each Other...GO STEELERS...tagged me in a fun little blog Q&A. PS...We're both big Pittsburgh Steelers fans...and they play this Saturday!


1. If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go? I really can't pick between too many places because I haven't been around the world yet, hope to some day! I guess I just want to be with my husband and some place where our kids wouldn't mind traveling to when they visit us! Also some place warm, friendly, with a nice neighborhood, beautiful beaches...hmm our Naples, Florida honeymoon was something like this! 

2. What is one of your earliest memories? I don't know if it's from a memory or from seeing pictures of myself when I was younger. But I would have to say the earliest my memory takes me is about elementary school age. I see photos from before that I don't really remember, like the first house I lived in that we moved from when I was three. I remember how I felt when my younger sister was born, and I remember a crush I had when I was in grade school. When we were at the graduation dance for 5th grade all our classmates kept pushing us together so we would dance! LOL! 

3. What's your favorite recipe? My husband found a marinade recipe online that we all love and now we call it "Mike's famous Chicken"! It includes onions, ketchup, soy sauce, and a few other things! We love it! 

4. Warm weather or cold weather? WARM!!! FOREVER WARM! 

5. What's your weirdest habit? Hmm.... Weirdest? WOW I guess I would have to ask other people because I may not think any of my habits are weird! I touch my face too much is probably weird! My nose, around my mouth, my cheeks, eyebrows. So I guess that's it! LOL. 

6. How much time do you spend online in a day? Well I work online from home so I guess I would have to say at least 8 hours? 

7. How many states have you visited? Let's see, PA, NJ, NY, CT, MA, NH, DE, MD, VA, WVA, FL, NV, and CA. 13 states! I like this question! 

8. If you won $20,000 cash -- how would you spend it? hmm...my stepdaughter is turning 16, would buy her a car, take the family down to Disney, and save any left over! 

9. How do you style your hair on a daily basis? I usually put some mousse in it and then blow dry...if I don't feel like it I just through it up all crazy like when still wet! LOL! 

10. Who do you look up to? Great question but I'd like to say more as in Who inspires me like...my husband,  teachers I've had, my husband's aunt, my step children, and other bloggers. 

So now it's my turn to make post some questions and tag some ladies! 

1. Is there anything you wanted growing up from Santa that you never got? 

2. Where is the best place you've ever vacationed? 

3. Where is your favorite place to go when you need some time to yourself? 

4. What is the current book your reading, and your favorite book?

5. What is the most romantic thing you're boyfriend/husband/lover has ever done for you?

6. Do you believe in aliens from other planets and what do you think they look like?

7. What did you hope to be, what was your dream job when you were younger? 

8. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 

9. What is your favorite Disney movie? 

10. What is the best dessert you've ever eaten?   

So if there are any ladies who would love to answer these take a stab at it...here are some I'd like to see their answers to...

Jacin @ Lovely Little Details
Heather @ Bicoastal Bride
Christina I'm tagging you back @ At Least We Have Each Other!

Snow Storm....

There's a pretty big storm on it's way here today and it has already brought chaos to the South. Makes me angry and sad to hear that people have lost their lives because of ice on the road. Isn't there something more we can do today to prevent this? I know sometimes salt helps and other times it's not enough, and there are still people that have to go out on the road to work. But please if you do not have to drive, stay home for all good reasons.

So to put a smile on your face after reading about this crazy snow storm.....here is a beautiful and fun photo of a snow engagement!

Inspiration Sunday

I have always been inspired by other wedding blogs like LovelyLittleDetails, Sparkle&Hay, RocknRollBride and many more, esp Naomi @ EnchantedDreamWeddings for her amazing inspiration boards on StyleMePretty! I just love how outside the wedding box she thinks for wedding inspiration! @ LovelyLittleDetails every Sunday Jacin has a great feature called Mason Jar Sunday, @ Sparkle&Hay Erin has Bouquet Sunday, and RocknRollBride Kat has a Sunday Kind of Love.

So in honor of these lovely ladies I want to host my own Sunday trend and inspire my readers as well!! So every Sunday I will now post one of my inspiration boards from StyleMePretty as well as someone else's inspiration board that I have fallen in love with... certainly with all their info and details!

Here is an inspiration board I made a few days ago inspired by all the wedding desserts that are now available. There is so much more to wedding desserts than just cake!

What's your favorite wedding dessert? I love the little blue cups of hot coco!

Here is one of my favorites from Naomi...I told you she was amazing!

2011 is here!

  I'm so excited for 2011, especially for all those couples who are getting married this year...like my older sister and her fiance!! She's getting married on the beach in South Carolina. Does anyone else have a beach wedding coming up this year? Doesn't it make you feel warm thinking of the beautiful beaches and summer weddings! Well I know it's 2011 but I wanted to post some of these amazing photos I took with my new Christmas gift ...thank you honey! We took this right after the snow storm, the park was so beautiful covered in the soft, fluffy snow!

So what are your big plans for 2011? Are you celebrating your One Year Anniversary like my husband and I will be?!
