the wedding last night was a blast. it was great seeing all of my family again. pics from that to come.
we just checked out of our hotel in rochester and are headed north to st paul for the night. We are stopping at the mall of america first so joel can play at lego land and i can do some shopping. We might even ride a ride or two. Then we will go stay at our fav hotel (embassy suites) in downtown st paul!

poor baby

dutch got spayed today and is one sad baby.
she has barely moved all night, and you that know her- know that is crazy!
we brought her home, laid her on a mexico blanket and she has been there all night mostly fighting sleeping.

we all laid next to her and took a lil nap and watched tv...penny even came by to say hi and give some love...

stella and dot

last week i fell in love with stella & dot and now i'm one of their newest stylist! they have the cutest vintage inspired jewelery and i wanted every piece so i decided it would be cheapest to be a stylist! haha.

no really, their founders are young, smart, women and they get it. the marketing is amazing. love the name stella and dot (named after the founders grandmas) and their copy:

'Named after our grandmothers, Stella & Dot honors that generation of women who crossed oceans, rolled up their sleeves, won the vote, raised children, went off to work in the morning and came home and baked pies in the evening. They did it all with style and grace.'

love the jewelery. love the opportunity to make some extra cash for vacations. what i love the most is the excuse to get together with the girls (and special fellas)for some fun, cupcakes and playtime with jewelery!
you might recognize stella & dot from all the awesome press they have been getting lately! i'm excited to one of the first people in nebraska to be able to offer you these fierce pieces!




you can even host parties with me to get free jewelery! want something new for summer to go with your little black dress? give me a call or shop at my online boutique. need a gift and tired of the mall? shop online! interested in joining me in the fun and selling stella & dot give me holla. it's gonna be a fun

happy shopping!
