More Cake Tasting! Susie Cakes!
So Daniel and I had another cake tasting for the wedding. Oh joy! I've
decided I'll be signing up for cake tastings even after we pick our cake.
Ha-ha...I wish. They are so much fun and who can resist free cake!?
Susie Cakes is FABULOUS! They're a little out of our price range for our wedding cake, but it's worth to give them a try. I fell in love with their strawberry, lemon and vanilla buttercream frosting's on vanilla cake.
We tried coconut, mint, lemon, strawberry, mocha, chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla and cream cheese frosting's on vanilla, chocolate and red velvet cakes. Oh YUMMM

Best Beach Chair!
Ohhh! I want this CHAIR! Ok...it's a tad dorky but who cares -- no more neck pain from reading on your tummy or trying to block the blinding sun with your little book while laying on your back!
The chair lets you relax in almost any position and allows you to read comfortably while tanning your back. Features include extra wide hardwood arms, a carrying handle, a cup holder, metal is rust free, and the fabric is quick to dry and easy to clean. I'll take it!

We are so excited! Oh man, I'm feeling really spoiled right about now! We've been working hard and saving for years, so this honeymoon is a well deserved trip! We were thinking, you only get married once -- so why not go BIG!" And it's the perfect time in our lives to travel (no kids, flexible jobs etc.)

The Bridesmaid Dresses!
Oh my goodness gracious! We finally picked out the bridesmaids dresses! I thought it would be a lovely idea to let the girls decide on what they wanted to wear (ex: just give them the color and they could pick the dress as a group), but with 2 months until the wedding and no dress in hand, we all started freaking-out a bit. So I called in the troops and we buckled down (a.k.a "crunch time" by my maids of honor) to find a dress together. This is it! I dig it.
P.S. A shout out to all my lovely bridesmaids! I love you girls so much! You're the best friends anyone could ever ask for. You guys mean the world to me.

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Cookies
Oh my sweet mama, these are amazing...
· 2 cups sugar
· 1 stick butter
· 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
· 1/2 cup milk
· 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
· 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
· 3 cups oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats,
not instant)
Reduce heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix quickly until peanut butter melts, then add the oatmeal. Mix until the ingredients are well blended. Stir for a couple more minutes on low heat (you want the oats to slightly cook, so they won't be hard when you eat them).
Makes 2 dozen 3 inch cookies.
This is revised version of a Lick the Bowl Good recipe.

Doughnut Pool Floatie
How cool is this Doughnut pool floatie? I would love to lounge in this on a hot summer day. Did u ever use pool floaties when you were a kid? I used to love em...I would twist my legs together and create an under water tornado motion and spin around until I was sick. Fun times.
Let's all get one this summer!
