Shutterfly Christmas Cards

I've used Shutterfly a few times for various thing, but not photo cards. We just started to do a photo Christmas card last year and I was so last minute that I had to do 1 hour service somewhere just to get the cards sent out in time. This year I have been planning so that I can have plenty of time because I had already decided that I wanted to order my Christmas cards off Shutterfly.There are so many Christmas cards to choose from but below are a few of my favorites. I have no idea which one to choose so I guess I will just have to wait until we take a few pictures at Thanksgiving.

I love how the focus of this card it the picture and that it has the traditional Christmas colors of red and green.

I think the text of Peace, Love and Joy is super cute on this card!

We don't have children yet but I still think this card would be perfect to put pictures of our "furry" children. We have 3 cats and a dog so this card has the perfect amount of pictures to showcase our family!

This card is perfect for those who like to include a

Christmas letter with their card. They can

do it all on the card, I think it's a great idea!

A Celebration for Emma Claire and her Mommy!

Several weekends ago ( I know I am behind in posting again) I co-hosted a baby shower for Kari (my friend from my office). I co-hosted with another one of Kari's friends, Charli. Charli did a great job hosting and even made little chocolate bottle suckers, so cute! We had an ice cream sundae party. It was great and everyone seemed to love it. I have to admit I stole that idea from Kate's (Our Sweeten'd Life) baby shower. I just thought it was the cutest idea and Kari has been craving ice cream, so it was perfect! We had a great time and Kari looked amazing for only having about 2 months left in her pregnancy. Kari got some great presents for Emma Claire from family and friends. I am attending another shower for Kari next weekend and all I can say is little Emma is going to be one spoiled little girl. Below are some pictures from the shower!

Love you Kari and can't wait to meet baby Emma!

Wedding Weekend in Charleston

This weekend we were in Charleston to celebrate the

marriage of Mackenzie and Nic. It was a beautiful wedding at the Magnolia Plantation on Mount Pleasant and we are so excited for them to start their

life together. They are a great couple and you can just see how much they adore and love each other.

We stayed in a house on Isle of Palms with a bunch of the other guys and their wives that were attending the wedding. I would first like to say that I could live there forever. 1. the house was amazing. 2. it was right across the street from the beach. 3. it had an infinity pool (had only seen them on TV until this weekend). and 4. it had the most amazing shower in the master bath! Below is a picture of the house where we stayed (thanks Laurel...I stole it off your FB)

Saturday night they had the rehearsal dinner at

the house and Nic's dad cooked some amazing BBQ. It was a dinner full of southern comfort food! Sunday night the wedding was at the Magnolia Plantation, which was beautiful. I told

Colin that sometime I would love go to back and actually get to tour the grounds. We dined on amazing food, wonderful cupcakes and s'mores over a fire pit! It was perfect. Below is a picture of the guys at dinner Saturday night and a picture of Colin and I at the wedding.

The only downside to the weekend was my car drama, which is happening much more lately and has become very annoying. Since Spring every few months I will go to turn on my car and it won't start. The past 4 times I have been able to leave it over night and it will start the next morning. Well this weekend, not even 10 minutes after we arrived at the house my car died again. It was dead the whole weekend even after repeated attempts to start it. So Monday morning we had to get it towed to a dealership in Charleston where (of course) the car started right away and every time after that. We are pretty sure my car needs a new started but they told us they won't replace it without knowing for sure and since the car worked for them, they couldn't fix it. So we wait until the next time my car dies.

Even with the car drama we had a great weekend with all of Colin's friends!

Fall Decor

I just wanted to share a few pictures of my fall decorations. I don't have a ton but it is my favorite season and I think they add a few nice touches to the house. Two of the pictures are on our table in the living room and then the other is a picture of our fall wreath on the front door.

I love decorating for holidays but it can be so expensive so I tried to bargain shop! The wreath looks very expensive but was only $25 from Walmart last year, the flower arrangement was 50% off at Hobby Lobby and only cost $30, the fall blocks from TJ Maxx last year for $5.99, and the pumpkins and fall foliage inside the vase were $12 from Better Homes and Garden at Walmart.

Happy Fall Y'all!

What's in my...

What's in my DVR...I thought that I would let everyone in on my not so secret obsession, TV. I am a TV junkie and it's OK with me. TV premiere week is like Christmas in the Leonard household. Our DVR is SO full right now (side note: I don't know how we lived without DVR for so long). I thought I would give everyone a run down of my weekly night shows.

Not only do I watch the above shows but also added to my DVR is any Real Housewives show on Bravo (currently DC, soon to be Atlanta), Project Runway, Rachel Zoe Project, Thinervention with Jackie Warner, Top Chef ( I bet you can see the Bravo link in here), Oprah and Weeds.

Colin and I DVRed the first episode of Boardwalk Empire and I have heard good reviews so we are excited to watch that show as well.

That is my DVR confession to you. I know I watch too much TV and should be doing something else, but I just can't stop.

What TV shows do you watch?

Tigers vs. Tigers

This past weekend we went to the Clemson-Auburn game in Auburn, Alabama. We were lucky enough that our friends the Chason's had the weekend off and were able to go with us. They so graciously let us stay with them this weekend in Atlanta. The game was a heart-breaker...losing by 3 in overtime! The Tigers played a HARD game and looked really good. I think (crossing my fingers) we could have a promising season! Below are some pictures from the game!

This weekend is our off weekend and then we play Miami in our Homecoming game. Colin's parents are coming down for the game and we are so excited to have them as visitors. October is a busy month for us, so check back for more updates!
