Personalized Jewelry

I consider myself to be an above average speller, but "jewelry" is one of those words I almost ALWAYS have to use spell check on. Whoops.

Besides that fact, what girl doesn't love jewelry?!

Especially something that's made uniquely for her.

I had the opportunity to review a piece from Waxing Poetic, and I'm warning you ladies -- this might be the type of post you want to email your husband as a "just in case you want to surprise me with a little something special" ;)

Waxing Poetic has gift ideas for everyone -- moms, daughters, friends, teachers, and even your babysitter.

They offer all different types of jewelry, as well as a variety of other items (scarves, anyone?!).

I love their style your own necklace tool. You can personalize everything: the type and length of chain, the charm, and the customization. I chose a pearl necklace with a sterling silver charm, and am so happy with it!

I customized mine to have E & H on the front (for Emily & Hudson :) and Crider on the back. It's the perfect balance of being an "everyday" type necklace as well as one that could be dressed up all classy.

If you were to personalize a necklace, what would you put on it?

A Gourmet Picnic

You may have seen my Instagram last week:

When we found out about my new job, Hudson suggested we go out to eat to celebrate.

Now don't get me wrong...I love a good meal...especially when it means I don't have to cook!

But it was a gorgeous day, so I thought, what if we still have the fancy meal...but take it on a picnic instead?

So we packed up our little ol' picnic backpack, threw in our favorite foods plus some fancy crab legs, and had a little date!

And boy did we have fun. And, we got to eat just as well while saving who knows how much.

This is what memories are made of, people.
