The turn out was INSANE and totally awesome!

The cupcakes? Gone.

The cake pops? G O N E!

It was so much fun, and thanks to Lorie Lower and all of the girls at Nest Furnishings for letting all of us come crash your place!

If you’ve never been into her shop, you are totally missing out. She has the cutest stuff ever and the prices are amazing. I had my eye on a chandelier all night, I wanted to buy it up to put in the bakery.

SOLD! UGH! I was so jealous someone else got it!

Anyway, check out her site!

My camera did not do my cupcakes justice last night, the little birds and bird nests were SO cute! Chirp!

Triple Chocolate

Triple chocolate and coconut nests

Last weekend Bob’s office manager got married at Biltmore. It was

BEAUTIFUL.

Holy crap, seriously, if you’ve never been to Biltmore, or you’ve never seen it- GOOGLE. It’s fabulous.

The ceremony, the food, the drinks, the reception- all wonderful. We had a great time and wish them all of the best!

Again, my brain is so fried but I have to post some pictures I took at the wedding, and the day we spent in Downtown Asheville for their big, huge art festival called Bele Chere.

anyway, pics await!

Lioncrest at Biltmore

BELE CHERE.

Bryce is totally obsessed with why people think they should stand on corners with these dooms day signs and crap.

Wait- what’s this???

What is that, you ask? (oh GREAT, I spelled it wrong! DUH dude spelled it right, Refer)

Just awesome. It’s people like this that put a smile on my twisted face.

Then it was time for- dun dun duuuuuuuuun:

CUPCAKES!

with an irish name to boot. The Sisters McMullen

No picture of my chocolate and raspberry with ganache, because it was in my mouth and gone faster than the speed of light.

More Asheville shots. This place has so many amazing and incredible places to shop and eat- out of control!

I want to live in this building.

I know this post is almost 2 weeks late, but better late than never…

and it’s all pictures, cuz that’s about all my brain can handle.

Two weeks ago Maeve and her girlfriend left for Camp Silver Beach in the Chesapeake Bay. The camp was far away, so I stayed for a few days at my girlfriend’s house- traveling alone with all three girls = big rest afterwards. (and wine. and great food.)

The trip should have taken seven hours but it took two hours to get out of Charlotte, then once we reached Greensboro, Maeve the dictator wanted to go to Olive Garden for dinner and I desperately needed one glass of wine…. and then it rained for a while.

A day at the beach.

The waves are INSANELY high. We’re use to little shifts of water in Hilton Head, these suckers were surf size!

Someone needed a little siesta!

Brinn was nervous in the waves at first. She’s still only 31 lbs though and the undertow was knocking everyone around like rag dolls. After a few hours of watching other kids challenge mother nature, she got on board (and knocked down).

CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!

We made sure to make our way to a Just Cupcakes, a cupcake shop in VA Beach!

m&m

Brinn licked the m&ms off and tossed it.

Chocolate and vanilla

Cookie Dough- sadly the kids were NOT fans of this and I thought they’d go bonkers for it!

Coconut

Triple chocolate

and this one was a favorite with all 5 of us- Blueberry! Definitely the best of the bunch we got. They were sold out of most of their other popular flavors so I was sad to miss key lime and red velvet.

Temptation.

Frosting face!!

This is how they felt after polishing off almost a dozen cupcakes!

Camp Silver Beach.

What a B E A U T I F U L place!

For fun from my camera- one of the tunnels

and the 20 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge- totally amazing, I haven’t driven it in like 14 years!

Good times! And the two little ones were awesome on the ride home, too! Good girls.

We were gone for a wedding last weekend, and I feel like I’m always on my way to or from somewhere lately, this week is going to be out of control busy, but I wanted to post about the event on Wednesday held by Lorie Lower at Nest Furnishings (who has incredibly wonderful items!)
