Hey all of you brides! I am writing my last article for my "Wedding Magazine." I need your help! Do you have any embarrassing wedding moments? I want to put about 5-10 quick little "embarrassing wedding moments" stories in there. So share you're stories! I'll also post them on my other wedding blog whenever I get some in (don't forget to comment and follow it please, please, please). I know all of you are great writers and will make me literally laugh out loud. So you can either just post your story in the comment box or if you would prefer email them to me at blogger2r@gmail.com. Later!

Hey guys!

So I am begging you from the bottom of my heart to visit my poor little wedding blog. I had decided to do one for class but then I changed it to a wedding one since I am writing articles for a wedding magazine in another class. This blog has some good stuff and I know you all love weddings so PLEASE visit. I need a good grade on this. My life would be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 easier. O.k. thanks. Oh here is the link haha. SAVE ME!

Hey!

So I'm not really a mother but lately I have been feeling like one. Since I nanny everyday and usually pick up two or so extra babysitting jobs (like right now) I have spent a lot of time around parents recently. I have made an interesting observation, women never change. They are still gossipy and clickish etc. even after they become mothers. I am fortunately able to observe this since I take my twin boys to all of their after school events. I noticed the other day at the boys baseball practice that a group of moms were just chatting away together with a couple other moms just sitting awkwardly by themselves. To me it looked like high school all over again. Also, I have decided there are definitely at least 3 specific types of moms (Keep in mind that I do not pretend to be an expert in the field of communication...even though it IS was my degree will be in HA!).


Type A, the "annoying mom." This is the wife that is always yapping about something. To people who want to listen, people who don't, her husband and children etc. I'm thinking a Kate Gosselin here (sorry to pick on you Kate, but really you're the golden example). In the end some moms just need to chill out. Your kids are seven, if they get mud on their shirt you can wash it. There is one mom in particular who feels the need to give everyone else advice on their kids...oddly enough her child is rather bratty...




Type B, the "self-absorbed mom." This is the mom that will let her child(ren) run out in front of a speeding care because she is too busy talking on her cell phone, looking in the mirror, or telling another mom (who doesn't care) about how wonderful she is. She is more concentrated on personal appearance than her children. I'm thinking the mother in "The Nanny Diaries."



Type C, the awesome amazing mother. This is the mom that still has energy, her personality shows through making her very attractive. She loves her children and worries over them but not in a pessimistic way. For an example I have chosen Kate Winslet in "Finding Neverland." She lets her children get away with things to a certain point i.e. lets them be KIDS.



So there you go bloggy friends. I know many of you are mothers and Type A, B, or C I have the utmost respect for the work you do. Keep up the hard work :).

Hey! So as I mentioned before, I am working on a wedding magazine for a class. I thought I would put up one of the articles I had written. I would love comments from all of you since I know many of you have been brides or are brides-to-be or you just love weddings...like me. Here it is! I have to get graphics and pics for it so it's slightly bland right now. We're just working on content for now though :)

Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself and cringed? The lighting shows those not so perfect spots on your skin, you’ve gained ten pounds and your hair is flying everywhere? That’s definitely not what you want to see when you look at your wedding photos! Thankfully, we have St. Augustine photographer Perry Knotts to give you tips on how to look like a perfect movie star in your wedding photos.

• If you’re going to take your photos outside, take them in the evening hours. Depending on the season the times could range from 6-8 p.m.
Perry says, “The natural glow from the setting sun will reflect off your skin giving you a beautiful glow.”

• Try to pose at an angle for the camera with your body diagonal to the camera or put your hands on your hips with elbows facing out slightly.
Perry Says, “With photography being a flat medium this would allow some depth and make people look slim. If you face the camera directly you could end up looking wider than you really are.”
• Don’t wear heavy make-up.

Perry says, “Although make-up might improve your look from far away in the close-up pictures your make-up will be obvious and look caked on.”

• Wear a hairstyle with your hair pulled back around your face.
Perry Says, “The main reason is because of wind. You don't have to worry so much about strands of hair flying across the brides face.”

• Schedule a large amount of time between the wedding and reception for photos.

Perry says, “Time can go by so quickly photographing the family, bridal party, etc. Sometimes there is no time left for photographs of the bride and groom alone.”

• Talk to your photographer.
Perry says, “Just be relaxed and let your photographer know in advance of anything you’re expecting photography wise.”

If you follow all these tips you will be able to display your wedding photos with pride. You can be that slim sexy bride you’ve always dreamed of being.

Hey Everyone!!! I know, I know, I am a terrible blogger and I ask so much of my bloggy friends BUT please please please follow my new blog. This one is for school so I will be posting regularly. I would love to impress my teacher with lots of followers and comments! You will have to go there to find out what it is about! HA. Thanks so much!!! Life is crazy but I have been trying to pop into blogger whenever I can!

Hey everyone,

I am supposed to be doing homework as I write this but that is what I have the rest of the night for, right?

So I don't know if any of you have heard about the whole ACORN scandal but I actually know Hannah Giles who went undercover as the prostitute. I met her while interning in D.C. this summer and since we both went to school in FL we hit it off. I don't really like to bring politics into my blog (everyone is entitled to their own opinion) so that's all I'm gonna say. It's pretty cool seeing someone you know personally on TV though.



My nanny job is going well. The twin boys are just adorable. They have so many after school activities though, I feel like a total soccer mom and I even have two car seats in the back of my car to prove it! (WILL not be driving to the bars with those things!!) So far I haven't killed either of the children and I have managed to run them around to all their activities looking decent which is a challenge.



In other news I have a Social Media class this semester and one of our assignments is to start a blog...I am so totally ahead of the curve HA! However, I'm not going to use this blog (my teacher has a disturbing way of putting up personal assignments on the overhead) since I don't want any of my personal life shared on the overhead with the class. Also, we are supposed to have a specific theme for our blog which I do not really have for this blog. So any ideas??? If I had a hobby I would write about it...but I don't. I just eat, drink, sleep, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I was thinking about writing a blog about how to NOT look like a typical tourist. Basically it would just be for humorous purposes. Since I live in a town infested by this plague we call tourists I can get great pictures of fanny-packin' short-short wearin' tourists haha. I thought about having all of you submit some pics of funny looking tourists. O.k. so that's all for now!!!

Hey all!!!

I am going to try and get back on track here. I know this sounds ridiculous but I've felt so guilty about abandoning my blog that I literally had to work up courage to check my page. I was afraid all of you had left me :(.

Wow that is just sad...but true...but sad. Anyway, I really miss blogging so I am going to try and get back into the swing of things. I am totally going to need advice from you internet savvy friends for quite a few of my comm classes. All this new media stuff on the internet is all that we talk about. You would think that sounds fun but of course school takes the fun out of the internet...TRUST ME.



I'm also enrolled in a magazine writing class. The teacher is awesome and I have four really good friends in the class. Basically all we have to do for the class is write four articles a piece and put them together for a magazine. Since we are all girls we chose to do a wedding magazine. I KNOW a bunch of you out there can help me out on that one!!!




In other news, I have started to feel old my friends. The whole carpe diem, party party all the time philosophy I had for the first few years of school is changing into...it's not worth the hangover or money philosophy. Party all the time was fun but my liver has informed me that this is no longer an option. I wouldn't feel so awkward about this if I were 26 but I'm not...not even close. Advice? Is this just something that happens when you find someone you love and are ready to settle down? I do not know.

O.K. so I have missed you all. Please don't forget about me! I will try to make my postings regular once again. They won't be every day but there will be 2 or 3 a week (hopefully). Goodbye for now!
