    Girls Night Out

    Hello Honeybees,

    Can you believe that it’s almost Christmas?

    Can you believe that it’s almost a New Year?

    Christmas is usually the time that we spend with family. A time to come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It’s a time for food. A time to watch children experience the excitement of the season.

    Now, New Year’s Eve is a different story all together. NYE is a time to P A R T Y! I haven’t been out on NYE in a long time.  I prefer a quiet night in the house and hopefully someone will wake me before the clock strikes midnight. Yep, I’m THAT girl.

    Now IF I was going out on NYE I would have to dress up just a little. And it might look a little something like this.

    This NYE #OOTN is COMPLETELY thrifted. Since I don’t like to really dress up to go out I don’t spend a lot of money on dress up clothes. But I know that I always need to have staple pieces in my closet. You just never know.  This complete #OOTN cost me less than $30.

    Boots: Nine West- Sugarplum Cosignment
    Necklace: Target

    Now that’s how you start the New Year….Looking good for a fraction of the cost.

  • Blogger Fun

    Hello Honeybees,

    When I started this on this journey called blogging I really didn’t know what to expect. I knew what I wanted to happen from following other bloggers.  I wanted to experience the “blogger meet ups” , photo shoots and free prodcut.  Well, guess what????  Thanks to Memphis Moms Blog, I got to experience two of them in one weekend!!

    Friday night was Moms Night Out.  It was held at Treasure Box located on Union Ave in midtown Memphis.  If you are looking for vintage furniture, jewelry or clothes check them out. It is a thrifters dream. There was mixing & mingling, shopping, wine of course and desserts.  No event for women would be complete without makeup and hair fun.  It was a much needed break and it was great to be around other blogger moms.

    Sunday we gathered on world famous Beale St. to take photos. Believe it or not this was my first professional shoot.  iPhone photo shoots don’t count.  It was really weird taking photos while people are walking all around you.  You don’t know who is watching. You see other people, hopefully tourist, taking your pic as well.

    As we gathered for the group picture we had to decide what to do with our purses.  Our solution….we surrounded our photographer with them.  We were literally standing in the middle of Beale St with the Beale St Flippers entertaining the crowd behind us. Scary!!!

    Pop over to www.memphismomsblog.com to meet the wonderful ladies that help me live this experience.

    One of my blogger goals is to attend a blogger conference hopefully in New York or California.  I have big blogger dreams, I’m just waiting for them to manifest.
