Thanks again to everyone in the hive for your support in my journey to a healthier lifestyle! I know with the New Year, I started a workout routine and realized, oh gosh, I have no gear! I need gear! So, some of my Christmas money went towards workout gear!

First, I realized that my lame excuses for sports bras were not gonna cut it. I bought…

This is going to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever posted about myself on here. As you all (may) know, I’m a plus-sized girl. A couple of weeks ago, I asked for a push from you guys, and so many of you offered great advice and tips that I’m slowly incorporating into my lifestyle. I appreciate it so much!

Weight loss has always…

I feel like I cheated my (bee) name, and you will see why. As I’ve mentioned before, Mr. Ballet Flat and I are the same height. So, the shoes proved to be a big dilemma.

I am now rushed to find my shoes, because THE DRESS came in. I was informed that I need to have my shoes picked out by February 3rd for the dress…

As a plus sized girl, I’ve always found it difficult to get the cute clothes that fit me well! I’m a tall size 22 and that seems to be the size of the season in plus sized stores. So, whenever I shop, I have to pay full price (no sales on this size). So, to justify the price, I often find myself just wearing what…

I hope everyone has had a wonderful, relaxing holiday season so far!

You may have noticed that I haven’t written a post in a couple of weeks. I’d rather not go into detail that much right now about what’s going on, though. I just wanted to apologize. So sorry hive!

The ever-so-wonderful Paper-Source is having a HUGE sale on…

(What our wedding “to-do” list is looking like right about now…)

We did it. We officially booked our limousine company. I felt like a major procrastinator in not booking the limos yet, but one day, I researched, emailed, and the next day, we chose a company. It’s crazy, because I felt like I still had something big left to do, and now, it’s all the…

This past weekend Miss K came over from Dallas to hang out, visit old friends and of course, have a killer Gocco party! I have to admit, I was a little scared of when this moment would come. After all, these were going to be THE invitations and there was NO turning back. However, we got SO much done this weekend and it couldn’t have…

I’m so frustrated with myself that I just want to curl into a ball and cry. Like I mentioned earlier, I had a plan. A good, solid weight loss plan. When I started packing and moving to where I’ll be living when I become a Mrs., I stopped caring as much about what I ate and made excuses, any excuses, to avoid workouts.

As of…

A friend and I are headed to New Orleans January 1st - 4th!

We’ve booked our room at the International House, and are planning out our itinerary.  While we’re there we’ll meet up with the Ballet Flats, visit Bourbon Street, eat at Cafe du Monde and check out a vampire tour (I need to read some Anne Rice and my recently purchased Sookie Stackhouse series to get in the vampire…

There’s a big check that I can take off the to-do list thanks to an Alfred Angelo sale: my sisters chose their bridesmaids dresses!

Boy, what a task that was, too! See, with my other two friends, they knew what they wanted. It took them maybe 30 minutes to choose their dresses. Not my sisters. I love them, but they had NO idea what they wanted,…

(I’m sure my living room will look somewhat like this pretty soon!)

I knew that I wanted to DIY our invites when we first got engaged. It would make things more personalized without a hefty price tag. I started my search for fun paper online, and I think I’m going to be using a few of these places even post-wedding! These are the stores I’ve…

It’s truly one of my favorite times of the year. I really love when the weather changes, the stores get an overload of pumpkin puree and there are articles all over the web about the perfect Thanksgiving. Sometimes, it takes a lot to step back and reflect on the great things you have. Of course, I’m human and can’t wait for the turkey yumminess.…

After my Gocco collected dust for a few months, I decided to be brave and make notecards for my bridesmaids (stealing Tiramisu’s idea here).

I have to say, I double checked the manual, well, more like triple checked the manual before each step. Then, after a while, I thought, well, just do it already!!

I used a simple fleur de lis clipart from a free website, and…

I have to apologize for my absence last week, hive! This Ballet Flat had a root canal Tuesday (soda is evil), and said bye bye to my job in New Orleans. I officially moved to Baton Rouge, and I couldn’t be happier!! (Because I’m now in the same city as Mr. Ballet Flat!)
