Wedding Wednesday: Honeymoon Booked!

Exciting news time on Wedding Wednesday: we finally booked our honeymoon!

Thanks for the awesome honeymoon or "Flitterwochen" piggy bank, Rebecca :)

We've been on two minimoons (NYC and Disney World) since the wedding, but with the big move and starting a new job only 3 months before the wedding, I just didn't want to push vacation time and planning too much until we were finally settled down here.  I spent weeks and weeks trying to find the perfect Caribbean destination, and the girl who didn't get worked up or overwhelmed once during wedding planning definitely met her match when it came to honeymoon/vacation planning.  I knew we wanted all-inclusive as well as a place we could play golf, but there are just SO MANY down there!  Well, after looking through lists and lists, I found Sandals Emerald Bay on Grand Exuma in the Bahamas.  The accommodations look fantastic, there are so many water sports, beaches, and great restaurants, but the moment I knew I didn't need to look any further was when I saw the words: "unlimited golf included."  We were SOLD!  Seriously, doesn't this place look beautiful?!

And guys, when I was Googling pictures for this post, one of the image suggestions was "Swimming Pigs."  If you know me, you know I love to pet and feed anything.  I make friends with any ducks I see, always want to pet any animal at a petting zoo, and just love all animals.  So, you KNOW, we will be going on the Ocean Safari to see the pigs!

Obviously, you can guess what I was doing all weekend... planning, planning, planning!

On another fun note, see those flowers in the photo above?? They're from an amazing company I just started working with called The Bouqs.  Slip that boyfriend/fiancee/husband of yours their link for Valentine's Day - you will not be disappointed :)

Now it's your turn! Share your own post with Macy and me for our weekly Wedding Wednesday linkup below:

New Year's Resolution Update and Swap Reveal

Well, we're one month into the new year or 1/12 into our resolutions for those of you who are counting.  This year, I actually decided to set real goals for myself (here they are if you missed it last month).  So far, I've only had to send one "belated" birthday card - I said I'd send them but never said they'd be on time haha, I've been exercising (and eating) pretty well and now have a goal to do the Princess Half marathon in February 2016, and I've been trying to create more exciting blog content and find new blogs to comment on and follow each week.

Around the new year, I decided to sign up with Krista @ Classy & Sassy Mrs. and Kate @ Classy Living for a New Year's Resolution Swap Box.  I thought it would be a way to keep up with my blogger resolution by meeting new ladies as well as have someone to keep me accountable with my goals.  This was a round-robin swap, and I was actually paired with both hosts: sending to Kate and receiving from Krista - how fun is that?!

I received a fantastic package from Krista - thanks so much, girl!

She sent me a sweet, encouraging note and gifts to go along with different components of my resolutions: a planner and post-its for blogging, a salad kit and mini cutting boards for healthy eating, and a bunch of mini beauty samples she saved from different subscription boxes.  She even threw in some great toys for the kittens :)

As for Kate, I really tried to send her a little something for each aspect of her resolutions; you can head over to her blog to see a full recap!

5 Things That Were Better Than The Super Bowl Game

Happy Monday!  Raise your hand if you live under a rock?  Okay, no one?  Then, hopefully you heard about that Super Bowl thing last night.  So, I might be from New England, but I am NOT a Patriots fan.  Mike's converted me to an Eagles fan and I had Russell Wilson as my fantasy QB this year, so you know who I was rooting for.  Needless to say, I do not want to talk about the end result of that game, but simply have one question: WHO CALLED THAT STUPID PLAY?!  Okay, moving on.  Instead of talking football, let's talk about 5 Super Bowl-related things this weekend that were better than the game itself...

1. I am definitely a Money Lynch fan.  I know he is a polarizing figure, but I think he's awesome, and I definitely respect him.  He and Gronk were on Conan last week and played the new Mortal Kombat against each other.  Hysterical.  Seriously, take a morning break and watch this.

2. Did anyone watch NFL Honors on Saturday night?  Aside from the NFL not keeping their award winners a secret and me reading about each of them via Sportscenter's Facebook a good half hour before each one was announced "live," it was awesome.  Seth Meyers was fantastic as host and his opening monologue was ON POINT.

3. All of the food.  In addition to chili dip, buff chic dip, pepperoni bread (yes, there were two), shrimp cocktail, and all the snack foods you can imagine, I also made football cake pops - thanks for the idea, Amanda!  Yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  I have no idea how anyone makes them look like this.  Mine were the ultimate Pinterest fail, and I don't think I need to describe what they look like.  But all that matters? They were delicious.

4. My top 5 commercials: Chevy and WiFi, Avocados from Mexico, Little Blue Pill Fiat, Kim K for T-Mobile, and Always #LikeAGirl (I'd seen this campaign before, but I'm so happy the entire Super Bowl audience saw it last night, too).

5. And lastly, a two part-er: a. My boss is awesome and said to "come in whenever" this morning since the day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday, and b. It's 60 degrees and not going to snow a foot today, sorry New Englanders...

Did you watch the Super Bowl?  Did you have a favorite snack or commercial?
