I love to cook, bake, entertain and all of the above!  So, when I received 3 aprons for wedding gifts, I have to admit, the wife-to-be in me got kind of excited!  I have never been one to wear an apron, but now that I have 3 different ones, I am thinking… why not?!  I mean, they have pockets, they keep your clothes clean, you can alway wipe your hands dry, pick up things that are hot… and they are just so darn cute!  Don’t you agree!  They may become my new go-to hostess gift!

Here is one that I used last night – you can get it here!

100 days of happy

100 days of happy

The girls at Sunny Slide Up have decided to join in a challenge of 100 days of happy.  I am personally excited to do this challenge!  Right now I have a lot going on in my life between moving, getting a dog, work and planning a wedding.  I realized that often times I do not step back and take in each moment and the extreme happiness that I do have in my life each and every day.  I am not sure what I hope to get out of this challenge, but I know that after we discussed participating, it felt right.  Here are some “whys” listed out on their website…

I was recently having lunch with my friend and fellow designer, Kelsey.  We were eating lunch and I couldn’t help but notice her watch!

I love the size and the bright teal color.  She told me about the watch and I began to like it even more.  This is the Watch Hunger Stop watch by Michael Kors.  You can read more about #watchhungerstop  here.  Such an amazing partnership.

Michael Kors has partnered with World Food Programme and for every watch purchased, WFP will provide 100 meals to a child in need.  Through this program, they have already delivered over 4 million meals.

I don’t know… I may have to go and get myself a watch!
