GET THE LOOK - Thanksgiving Themed Wedding

So tomorrow is Thursday 24th Nov 2011, Thanksgiving in America... I am celebrating my first Thanksgiving at my bosses house as she is American and invited us all over.

I love the autumn inspired colours & feast... which reminds me of what my ex H2B and I were going to have on our big day.  Here are a few ideas if you fancy a Thanksgiving themed wedding day.

Reds, browns, oranges and yellows!

Kitten!!

Say hello to our lovely new kitten, Mark-Francis...aptly named after the Made In Chelsea 'actor'.  He's a short haired, tabby in lovely browns.  10 weeks old, and just tiny!

My housemates and I are very excited about our lovely little boy... keep your eyes posted for updates in his progress.

GET THE LOOK - Converse Themed Wedding

So today, I am tired, and worn out, so for a change I am wearing flat shoes to the office!!  A cheap copy of converse, as I am not going to buy big brands when I rarely wear them...  This did though give me the idea for a themed wedding.  It seems it a rather popular idea, specially for the grooms party.

The One That You Want

Last night I meet up with my ex H2B for the first time since we went our separate ways at the beginning of June, I thought I was fine, I thought I had dealt with it and was moving on... that's why I thought I was ready to see him.

That was a mistake, it was lovely being with him and we got on little we always do, it felt comfortable and I didn't feel like I still wanted to be with him.. but I did still feel something and today I feel horrid so angry and confused.  More about who I am, what am I doing with my life?  What do I want from life?  If I didn't want to get married, have children and start a life in the country what do I want?

Please leave comments below if you have any advice...!

Welcome to the World!

So as some of you may know, my little sister informed my earlier this year she would be expecting her first baby!  At first I was a little disappointed as she is so young... 19.  On Saturday Oct 8th little baby Bear came 3 weeks and 2 days early!  Weighing a healthy 6.5 lbs, born at 12.21 pm after a quick 5 hour labour.

Mum and baby are doing really well, and Brooke has take to motherhood like a duck to water breast feeding from the moment he popped out!  We are calling him Bear for now as she wants to get to know him before deciding... but I like Bear so hope she keeps it : ))

2 days old (I'd put a few of him up as a new born, but they are a little yukky)!
