Parry family photos

While in Hawaii we took photos with my husbands side of the family. It was weird to do family photos with such a small group... remember my post about family pictures with my side? Usually I dread family photos, but this was actually really fun. (see the last couple pics)

( I love how tight Jaxons curls get)

Now After all that boring stuff, we decided to have some fun :)

The Daily Dish

This last Wednesday I launched my online boutique and kicked things off by showing off my accessories on The Daily Dish. This was a last minute opportunity and I couldn't pass it up. I am so grateful for the connections and networks I have made all through blogging. Who knew this little community of bloggers would become some of my best friends.

Thanks to my cute friends for modeling my accessories and having a good laugh with me as we awkwardly modeled in front of the camera.... I am so not a model so it is hard to take things serious as you will be able to tell by some of my poses below :)

K, this is my friend Nikki. Let's talk about her for a second... isn't she BEAUTIFUL. Ya she is 26 with 5 children. 5, 3, 2, 1, and 4 months and she looks this good with in weeks of having her baby. I know what you are thinking... she should be in a museum or Americas Got Talent because that has to be a talent :)

( please know I am SO not serious about this pic)

I feel a lot more comfortable behind the camera than in front!

BRIDGET'S BOUTIQUE

Okay so I have been a little absent on my blog lately and I told you it was because I was working on something good, well...

.... DRUM ROLL....

 I have decided to start an online shop called Bridget's Boutique. I think my husband has been anticipating this day more than I have. We have been in talks FOREVER about selling my parties, party supplies, and or accessories, but honestly I just didn't know where to begin. After meeting with some buyers and getting everything set up, I am excited to finally launch Bridget's Boutique.

 Now keep in mind it is still a work in progress and I have a lot more plans coming up in the near future, but I couldn't wait to tell you what I was doing so I decided to launch it now, and add new things in time...

Bridget's Boutique is where I will sell party packages, party supplies from my past and future parties... kind of like a party in a box. I will be doing custom party favors as well as selling some, if I do say so myself, ADORABLE, and affordable fashion accessories. 

I know, I know. You are all thinking... "Say what? Fashion accessories, but you are a party blog."

Now I may have started this blog to showcase my parties, but as you may have noticed I have been transitioning more into fashion and my life. I will still be doing LOTS of parties, but I have decided not to make this such a niche type blog, and just blog about what I love. So if you don't want to read about my personal life, parties, and fashion, then I guess you've been warned ;) 

Paper Straws

Custom Party Packages

To kick start my boutique,  I headed to The Daily Dish television show where my friend Tanelle showed different ways to style statement necklaces with some of my pieces.  (more on that in a later post) 

While there, I was complimented on my cute necklace by the one and only Chelsea Hightower from Dancing With The Stars. Say What? I had to do a double take and make sure I wasn't hearing things. One thing led to another and she was my first customer and is going to help spread the word on my new endeavor. See below to see what her favorite piece was.

Anyways I am excited and I hope you will support me in my new addition to this blog. To say thank you to my readers I am going to do a GIVEAWAY for one of my necklaces.

Baby + You wellness for two

Is it just me or is it when you are trying to get pregnant and cant that everyone around you seems to be pregnant? It could be that I live in Utah where spotting a pregnant lady is as easy as spotting a fire hydrant or I am just more aware of people with the things I currently want. Even though my son turns 2 next month I still feel like a new mom. I am at the point where I actually have to be a parents and do the 'fun' discipline stuff and the battle for them to eat something healthy. Reasons like this is why I am always looking for advice or recipes that could work for me and my family. While on my search to find kid friendly food,  I came across this new site called Baby Plus You.

Riding the Wave

Surfing has been on my bucket lists for years. I got to check that off my list all while winning an award.

 While taking surfing lessons I was, um, well, how to you say it... really good (insert sarcastic voice here)  I got the award for crashing into the most people! I know it is a prestigious award and I will take it proudly. 

I don't know how I would do it. I could be so far away from someone and next thing I knew I was knocking them off their board and running right over them. Pure talent right there I tell ya :)

 First ride... oh look, I am a natural. ;)

My Father In Law riding the wave!

Always looking for more victims to crash into ;)
