A Day in Princeton

  

One of my favorite places to visit is Princeton, New Jersey. This adorable little town is filled with so much character and amazing scenery [not to mention GREAT shopping too! ;) ] So for Mother's Day this past May my Sister, Mother, and I decided to take a girl's day trip to Princeton! We spent the day walking down Nassau Street, shopping, and taking a little detour through the beautiful campus of Princeton University. To top it off, we ended the day with some sweet treats from The Bent Spoon - one of my absolute favorite places to get cupcakes [of course :) ].

Florida Vacation

As I mentioned in last week's post, my sister and I took a mini vacation to Florida to visit close family of ours. Oh, and we can't visit Florida without going to Disney World [since its one of our FAVORITE places to go!] - So we managed to squeeze that in too... eh hem..  in a day! [Yes, we actually did Disney in ONE day!] Perhaps we'll write a book? Ha. It was crazy fun and we had a blast the whole entire trip. I documented absolutely everything with my favorite iPhone app Instagram as well. Above are little snippets of our adventures throughout our stay in Orlando and Southern Parts of Florida! We can't wait to go back sometime soon! :)

P.S. Despite the fact that my sister and I are in our early to mid-twenties this is how we felt the night before we went to Disney...

A few weeks ago I was out visiting western Pennsylvania and the weather one day was absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't pass up the nice weather so I decided I would take a little walk, explore, take some pictures and even get a little inspiration. I can't even begin to explain how peaceful it was to be surrounded by wide open spaces.  Being there was such a nice change up in scenery. It made me realize two things: One, it is so easy to get "caught up" in our on-going busy lives. Two {more importantly}, it's good to just simply stop once in awhile and take a moment to really enjoy beautiful places like this and the outdoors in general. When was the last time you took time out of your busy life to just go outside and really enjoy the outdoors?

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had an awesome photoshoot with my brother and his wife + the baby bump. Today's photos are the ones that we took inside and are equally as cute! :) Enjoy and welcome baby Elaina Ann!

peace, love, pugs, & cupcakes,

Last week marked a very important moment for me... I became a first-time Auntie to my absolutely beautiful niece! I am beyond excited for my brother and his wife and their darling new bundle of joy: Elaina Ann. It seems just like yesterday I was planning the baby shower {posts: part 1 & part 2}. Upon Elaina's arrival, I had a fun little photoshoot with my brother and his wife + the baby bump! :) We took some photos inside & the others outside. Today's post are the photos I took outside {tomorrow's post will be the inside photos}. I had such a great time at this photoshoot with them - so much love! :) I just had to share these photos because they're too cute!!! Enjoy!

P.S. Welcome baby Elaina Ann!

peace, love, pugs, & cupcakes,
