A quick break from all these over-the-top weddings and jammed-pack social calendar I had for August. Ha! Last June, Chloe started preschool and our day-to-day activities consist of tidying up writings on the wall, washing only one pair of uniform, constant nagging while organizing books or coloring pens scattered on the floor, looking for the other pair of socks and our most favorite part - practicing our writing and reading skills. Gone are the days of sleeping in past 10pm and just lying on the bed watching toy reviews on YouTube while mommy updates her social media posts and stories. Gone are the weekends spend in the park or just playing in the mall while mommy does her shopping. Too much happening for the past 3 months (mostly school related) and the rainy weather, to say it bluntly, is not encouraging. Thankfully, we made plans for the beach on the 21st to relax and make up for the lost family time. This lightens the vibes a little...

Hola September! Speaking of wedding, I was completely blown away but what has been the ultimate influencer move I've seen on the first day of September. This month started on a swoon-worthy and an extravagant wedding of one of my favorite Italian blogger - Chiara Ferragni and just looking at those pictures induced an Instagram envy among us. The Blonde Salad star wore not one but three stunning and luxurious wedding dresses for the weekend festivities.  But don't fret, you don't have to be a billionaire to do the same.

Because well, we don't have all Chiara Ferragni's bank account balance.  And you can find all these elegant yet affordable wedding dresses at Suzhoudress.com . I'm sure you've heard of this online website before as I've been working with Suzhoudress.com in few series of blog posts and h...

Today I'll be sharing one of my favorite sites Paperless Post ' expressive online invitations and how you can automate and build a system that efficiently works for your party guest list. Plus a special 25$ gift card from Amazon just by following my giveaway below. So why not automate and send invitations online when everyone we know is on the internet nowadays?  Except maybe for my parents and few of my relatives - the very reason our wedding was old-fashioned by the way. Ha, kidding! The first time I've  worked  with Paperless Post and saw myself the flexibility of their creative designs, I knew for sure that there's more to this online invitation than most people didn't want to admit. No need to search around an overwhelming list of options but consider the convenience of electronic invitations. I recommend Paperless Post as you can easily design and send invitations online with their massive and wide collec...
