Our Fairytale Wedding

     Since I have been a little girl, I have dreamed about the man I would marry and our fairytale wedding. I have envisioned exactly what my wedding was going to be like. From the color scheme, to my wedding dress details, the elegant venue, my bridesmaids dresses, the cake, the bouquets, all of it. I have known exactly what I've wanted this day to be like my entire life.  September 5th, 2015 was an absolute dream come true, the day I have been waiting on my entire life. I  became a wife and married the love of my life & our fairytale wedding became a reality. It was everything I could of imagined it to be and more.

     I have been so excited to share this day with all of you. It was such a special day, I married my best friend ; Brett Robinson and that's the moment when I became Mrs. Robinson. The best decision and day in my life. ( Having our babies are right there with the BEST day of my life).

     Wedding planning was everything I expected it to be. I enjoyed every minute of it. I am a huge planner! I had 9 months to plan our wedding, all by myself. No help! That's something I  was always up for and wanted to do for a couple reasons. The #1 reason being is that I like to be in control and do things my way, especially when it involves something that means so much to me. I don't like the feeling of relying on others to get it done, that's too stressful.
     The 1st thing on my checklist was to look at wedding venues. Chateau Cocomar was already at the top of my list after a ton of research. It's such an elegant, royal, and sophisticated feel, exactly what I was looking for. I felt like a PRINCESS IN MY CASTLE. That was the 1st place we scheduled and looked at. I fell in absolute LOVE. There was no reason to waste time and look any longer, I knew that this was the EXACT venue that we wanted. We booked it for September 5th 2015.
     These 3 years of marriage have gone by so fast. I guess what they say is true. Time flies when you're having fun. These 3 years with Brett have been nothing but pure joy and happiness.  I am looking forward to a lifetime of happiness with the love of my life.

Once upon a time...

Thank you Weddings in Houston for the feature!

A summer date night look with Stage

     Hello Friends! Happy Monday, I hope all of you have a great week ahead. As Summer is coming to an end, let's celebrate before the cooler weather kicks in. What's a better way to celebrate than a night out on the town with your hubby/boyfriend/significant other or even girlfriends!

     Today, I am going to be styling a fun and colorful, summer dress with Stage! This dress definitely makes a statement when going out. The colors are so vibrant, the tassel detailing is just darling, and the high-low hem with ruffles is beyond flattering. With this dress, you don't have to add much to it, since it is such a statement piece. I added some simple red heels, and red tassel earrings, and allowed this dress to do the rest of the talking! Simply stunning. This dress from Stage is very versatile. I decided to dress it up but you can easily dress it down! Just throw on a pair of flip flops and simple stud earrings and you're beach vacation ready. 

     Stage offers a whole bunch of quality brands, at such an amazing price. When my eyes spotted this dress, I knew I was going to have so much fun styling it and wearing it out on the town with my husband! Let's kiss Summer goodbye in a stunning maxi!

What I Want My Children to Know

     Becoming a mother has completely changed my life, for the better. It has become my biggest accomplishment, I am so proud to be a mother to my Sophia Grace and Noah. Words just can't describe the joy my kids bring to my life, they are my pride and joy. As a mother, we have a lot of responsibilities on a day to day basis. We are teachers. Each and every second of every day we are shaping whom our children grow up and become in this world. It is our job to make them the best humans they possibly can be before we let them fly out into this world on their own. 

     I am constantly wondering if I am doing enough as a mother.  Am I leading by example? I thought to myself one day "What would I want my kids to know?" Have I taught them integral life lessons? I came up with a list and I am going to share my top 10. I hope you enjoy my thoughts! Motherhood is truly the biggest blessing!

What I Want My Children To Know:

1.  Build & Focus On Your Relationship With God. This is number one. Building a relationship with God is the foundation of a good person. If you have succeeded with that, I believe the rest is in His hands. Say your prayers and give thanks to all of your blessings.

2. Find & Be YOURSELF. Each and every person is different. There is no one else who can ever be YOU. Find what sets you apart from everyone else, something you're great at, and something that makes you unique. Accept and love yourself. People will love and gravitate to you when you are real and genuine.

3. Be Honest. "Honesty is the best policy."- Benjamin Franklin. I've been taught from a very young age by my father that being honest is the best quality any person can have. When we are honest, we build strength of character.

4. Always Be Kind. You never know what a person is going through in their life. Always be nice, smile, and who knows- you might just make someones day. Plus-you will never regret being kind.

5. Surround Yourself With Success.  Choose a good group of friends. "You become who you hang out with." Be friends with those whom inspire you, motivate you to be a better person, and help you make good decisions.

6. Take Responsibility For Your Actions. No ones perfect, this I know. You are going to be at fault in life and make wrong decisions at times. This is all about learning and growing as a person. It's okay. Although, you must own your actions and take full responsibility. When you are at wrong, say you are sorry and mean it. Try your best to resolve the issue, learn from it, and move on.

7. Please and Thank You. Use your manners at all times. When someone does something for you, thank them. Always express gratitude for acts of service. Be polite and respectful.

8. Stay Away From Drugs/Alcohol.  Nothing good comes from Drugs or Alcohol. Keep your body and mind clean. Be in control.

9. If You Want Something Done Right, Do it Yourself. Work hard for what you want and do not expect a thing from anyone else. No one is going to work as hard for you, as you.

10. Family Time is The Best Time. Enjoy and cherish each second with your family. Never take them for granted. They love you so much, and will always be there for you-through all of your ups and downs. They are the most important people in your life. Always put them first.
