Lovely in Lace!

Well Wedding season is upon us! Bobby and I just went to our friends Tyler and Lauren Arrington's wedding! We had so much fun! We have a few more weddings lined up this Spring, and I absolutely Love them! Every bride is so beautiful! You just can't stop glimpsing at her during the night and her sheer happiness is written all over her face! I think a bride is one of the most beautiful sites! They are glowing as they look the most beautiful and glamorous you have ever seen them! I also LOVE to see the groom's face as he first see's his bride at the top of the aisle, and his blushing cheeks and she slowly approaches her groom! I am so sappy!

Lately I have been reminiscing about my special day and it was so incredible! I would not of changed a thing, except I wish the night didn't fly by so fast. I love to daydream about it and try to remember every detail, because when you are the Bride the night is such a whirlwind and you are trying to take it all in!

One thing I would of done is I wish I tried on a million dresses, because you can never ever do that again! I had my dream dress and loved it so much I just wish I took advantage of trying every style on and taking fun pictures in them, because that is a one stop shop that you will never do again!

Here are some dresses I love right now! I am in love with Lace!

Love this gorgeous Vintage Lace dress.

Family Fun Day!

This past Saturday we had a family fun day! We try to go do something every Saturday as a family, to build great memories together and try new things!

We woke up Saturday and went to Einsteins for breakfast, and then we got on the road for the Miami Metro Zoo! It was the most beautiful day of the year and perfect for an outside activity! We timed it perfectly so that Colton took his morning nap in the car on the way to Miami, since it was a good hour drive. We arrived at the Zoo, and walked all around and saw great animals, went to the children's zoo, went for a ride on the carousel, watched the kids ride on camels, had some lunch, and walked around some more! The Miami Zoo is huge, we didnt make it around the entire trail. It was a great day and I can't wait to go back again when Colton is a little bigger and he can enjoy a ton of activities they have for kids!

We had a great day! I love my family! Here are some pics from the Zoo!

I am such a big boy mom!

Love to all,

Love the cream crochet ans the scalloped bottom!

2. 70's Glam The Flared Jean is back once again!

My Stella and Dot Spring obsessions!

From the Brazil Collection:

The Bamboleo

 

Love this Statement Necklace! Invest in this item and you have a outfit maker for the season!

The Bardot Hoop Earrings

 

These earrings are only $39 and they are super light! They are a great addition to your work wardrobe this spring or for a frolicking at the beach! These gold tones will look great paired with your sun kissed tan this summer!

The Camilla Ring

For $49 the Camilla Ring is a favorite of mine. This ring looks like a gem you would find in your grandmothers jewel box! Such an awesome vintage inspiration. Looks great as a cocktail ring for a night on the town or again with your every day wardrobe.

The Marrakesh Bib

A wow factor! Completely update your outfit with this statement! This necklace is surprisingly very light and has a ribbon tie back. It is wedding season do you have the same black dress you are dreading? Throw this necklace on for some definite compliments!



The Medina Bib

Love this bib with a striped top, I also wore it with a fun printed top and it rocked! I would love to see it with a gauze dress and some killer strappy heels!

Memories, Mirrors & Makeovers

This past Saturday I was blessed to have attended a wonderful seminar by Catherine Kickem. Catherine started a ministry called Intentional Motherhood. God is truly using her to speak out to moms on having the kind of relationships God desires for us! I encourage you to check out Catherine's website and try to make a seminar. I also signed up to join a small group which they are starting up!

Here is how God spoke to me personally:

The kind of mom I want to be,

One thing God has truly taught be so far in my amazing journey of motherhood is to TRUST him with everything!! I remember at first being a bit overwhelmed when Colton was born thinking I am responsible for this life, I want to do everything perfect and God said to me, Katie you are not perfect and can't parent perfectly that is why you NEED me. I realized I couldn't do it without him there is too much worry and concern all the time and I said God this is your child first and believe it or not you love him more than I do. I don't want to control everything in this child's life I want to trust in your plan for him and not my plan for him. This has made me be so much less anxious and very calm with my son, and I know it made all the difference with him, he has such a calm and laid back spirit. Yes he will be an active boy, but I have realized he needs to be able to explore and learn (of course with him in my sight at all times)! It is hard to see my baby getting bigger, he has grown up so much already this past ten months, but he is starting to get some independence. Of course I know he still needs me a lot which I love!! But I need to let him have that little independence he is desiring so that God can start to grow him. I don't want to create fears in him by my worry and anxiety but instead lead him to know what it looks like to trust God with everything in his life and instead be GOD FEARING!

My Desires:

I desire to be a mom that when my kids and my husband  look at ME they see HIM. I want them to be able to run and talk to me about absolutely anything even if it's there worst moments, and for them to know I will first say I love you, and we will face this together as a family. I want to be able to of course offer my counsel and advice but to also be able to just listen. I want to be able to look at them and say " I am sorry, can you forgive me" I want them to be able to see my struggles because I talk about the things I need to work on. I want them to see a mom that loves them more than anything in the world both by my actions and me telling them that, but I want them to see I can only do my very best as a parent but I NEED God's wisdom and guidance. I want my kids to see the real me and be able to bare my soul to them, and in this see our very real God. I pray they see a God fearing women who is constantly hungry for God and his word but who also LIVES out the word. I pray they see me as someone who always has a teachable spirit, because there is always more God wants to show me and grow me. I pray they see a mom who steps out in faith and answers when God calls her to act. I desire for a deep emotional connection with my children the way God desires for me to have with him. I pray my kids have an amazing relationship with their heavenly father and live the abundant and free life God talks about, of course I know this does not come without pain and sorrows and trials. But I do know God never wastes any pain or sorrow in our lives, he uses it for his Glory! I am so blessed God chose me to be both Bobby's wife and Colton's mom because it has brought me the most joy I have experienced. They are my world!

Catherine spoke about what kind of legacy you want to leave someday for your family when you are gone. This is the legacy I desire. What is your legacy?

These are just some of my thoughts and prayers from my motherhood conference! Check out the Intentional motherhood website!

Love to all,
