Five on Friday

It's been awhile since I have linked up with the Five on Friday ladies and with today being my last day of winter break, [crying...] I thought it would be the perfect day to jump back into the madness.



ONE


Do you see this planner?
Cute right? Yeah, I bought it. 
Where is it?
At Target.
WHERE I LEFT IT.

STUPID me bought this adorable Sugar Paper planner, along with some new pens & eyeliner yesterday, and walked right out of the store bagless. 
I had one bag to grab, and I failed.

Luckily, the store still has my bag and I have to drive an hour to go pick it up.
So goal #1 for 2014 - START USING MY BRAIN. :)

Next Sunday we have an appointment with our wedding cake lady.
With our venue, the cake was included in the price, so there wasn't much "shopping around" for a cake baker. But from what I've seen in pictures and read from reviews, she does a pretty good job.

I have to bring pictures, and I'm still having a hard time deciding what exactly I like.
Here's what I'm debating between...

I'm quite the flower fanatic, so our wedding cake obviously won't be without.
But I guess I'm just deciding on the style, color, icing... 
Better make my mind up in the next week!

This video "Joseph's Wish" really reached out to me.
The Georgia Football team & Make-A-Wish got together to help Joseph's dream come true - becoming a Georgia football player. 

It makes me proud to be a Dawg and proud to know that people are making a difference, even in the smallest ways. Something we all could try to do in 2014.

The end made me tear up, I have to admit. :)

With my birthday coming up on Tuesday, there's never much I want right after Christmas.
Ok. Yes there is. I always want something.
But there are a few big items that are on my birthday wishlist.
WISHlist. Not completely realistic, but hey :) The birthday fairy may love me this year!

Hope y'all have a fun weekend!
First one in 2014 - make it count!

  1. Mmmm cake.. you know what those pictures do to this pregnant lady?!?! If you need a tasting buddy you know where to find me. They're all so pretty! I love the icing on 1, the flowers and jute on 2, the colors on 3 and the flowers on 4 are my favorite! Again, do you know what that video does to a pregnant lady?? Cue waterworks at my desk. And you figured out how to make a board! You are becoming so blog saavy!

  6. I had a camera strap (just one!) on my Christmas list this year and my mom went a little crazy and got me a few of them. They're so perfect! It's great to have a place to put my lens cap now. Hope the monogrammed one finds its way to you on your birthday!

  11. Gorgeous cake choices! I especially love the top right. For our wedding cake we had a simple buttercream design and flowers from my florist that matched the bouquets draped down it. You need that naked 3 and fossil watch. I got them both for Christmas and LOVE them!

  14. Our cake was so similar to that! Also, I love everything on your wishlist! No matter the season, I always have a little wish lit going. Thankfully pinterest makes it easy to keep up with!

  15. I love those wedding cakes! I've been watching TLC's bridal day marathon all day, so I've been been planning the wedding I'm not yet engaged for all day :) I'm sure your cake will be perfect!

  16. All of those cakes are GORGEOUS. I had the hardest time picking out our cake. I didn't want anything super fancy since we had a beach wedding. In the end I ended up going with 3 different cakes and they were all a hit. I didn't get the naked palette for Christmas so I'm going to buy it for myself!

  17. I'm definitely going to check into that blog baton. Looks like a fun time!

Lots of cute fabric options! https://www.etsy.com/listing/124220662/embroidered-reversible-camera-strap?ref=related-5

  20. Ah, those cakes! I'm torn, too. All of those look amazing, I think it kind of depends on your wedding theme/style :) And yeah, birthday wishlists aren't supposed to be realistic!
