life. smell the roses

This weeks smell the roses task was write down your favorite quotes and stick them somewhere for a daily reminder. I chose all Bible verses and stuck them on my closet door so i could see them first thing every morning :).
Here they are:

Luke 2:18 is a constant reminded to me to be thankful. God has done so much in my life and I want be like Mary and treasure these things.
Psalm 25:3 is my reminder that God is super powerful and when rely on Him, He always comes through.
Hosea 3:1b just cracks me up!!! sacred raisin cakes! I would probably love them too! :)


Thats all for now!

life. High Five for Friday {Busy Busy Bridesmaids edition}

This week has been pretty busy with wedding prep things for my lovely friend Carissa's wedding. Busy, busy, busy but I love it. Their is so much bonding that happens when you are working on a wedding- what's not to love? 

So in honor of Carissa's wedding-  here are my top five exciting things for this week related to the wedding :)

 

1. We finally finished the design for the wedding invites- the design was lead by myself :)

 

2. We had an invitation making party where lots of skills were discovered! Such a great group! Thank you all for your hard work!!!!

 

3. At the invitation making party, Andy (the groom) was put on fabric duty. He had a fabric measuring tape and everything!

 

4. I worked with Carissa's mom to design these lovely invites for her Bridal Shower (yep, I made all those little flowers from scratch!) 

 

5.  I took Carissa to get her wedding dress fitted. This was really fun, especially since Saundra did the fitting- she was like a second mom to me growing up. 

What are your favorite things about preparing for a wedding??

love. breakfast hash

 This week, I am going to post my recipe for Breakfast Hash. For me, its defently a saturday morning breakfast where I have a little more time to make something and I want something delicious after a long week. I hope you enjoy!!!

Nicole's Breakfast Hash

Take 3 potatoes cut them up, put them on a greased frying pan at medium heat. Season with your favorite herbal blend. Mine is herby.

 

Cut up some bacon.

 

Wait until your potatoes have been on for at least 10 minutes, then add the bacon. Season. Cook until the bacon is edible and you potatoes are soft.

 

Then add some eggs. I used about 7 total.

 

Mix it up and allow the eggs to cook in. Season again.

 

Add cheese on top and allow to melt. Then serve.
