Rosy Ballerina

My beautiful niece is a ballerina and attends Ballet Arizona. As part of the audition process for summer programs, she needed some audition photos for her application. She's fantastic and amazingly talented (can you tell I'm a proud Aunt?). Good luck Ros!

Planning, Planning, Planning

There’s a huge bridal show coming up this weekend and when I hear the advertisements on the radio I think back to my wedding planning days. I spent some time at the bridal fairs as a bride and it was a fun, overwhelming yet bonding experience. The first time I went was with my sister. We weren’t sure what to expect and were totally overwhelmed. We laughed about it and de-stressed over lunch shortly after. While I’m not quite ready to attend as a vendor, I know that the experience I had as a bride will help me prepare. To help you prepare for your wedding day, I’ve listed a couple of my favorite planning blogs and websites. There are so many ideas and different things to be inspired by, the list could go on forever! I’ll keep it simple and post a few every so often as they come to mind.
