What is an inspiration board? An inspiration board is a group of images that are put together to give a certain look or feel. It can be used for event planning, home decorating, fashion styling, hair styles, etc.
Often times when you are entertaining, you like to get a feel of the atmosphere or mood that you want to set. For wedding related events, take a look at some of these inspiration boards over at Snippet and Ink. Since it’s spring, let’s go with a picnic wedding theme. This could really be elegance on a budget after getting inspiration from some of these boards.
Pretty Pretty Picnic – laid back picnic wedding
East of Eden – Rustic and casual with oak, wheat and almond colors
Backyard Picnic – Bright and sunny with red and green
Waitin on a Sunny – warm and rustic

The Conscious Bride over at Aisle File wrote a post about Pre-Marital Counseling. She and her fiance just started counseling and they seem to love it. My husband and I took a 1-day class with about 10 other couples that was designed to introduce us to various useful tools and skills to help strengthen marriages. The class was awesome and we loved it. I personally don’t think that counseling could hurt anything. It can only help.
Check out “Pre-Marital Counseling: Are You Game?” over at the Aisle File and let the Conscious Bride know if you are game.
I just love dessert parties. They seem to be so classy and elegant. In order to make a great table presentation be sure that you have a variety of desserts. You want to make sure that you take advantage of the space on the table that you use.
For my table at home, I could do about 3 round cakes with two large platters of various desserts and one small platter. I would also add candles and floral arrangements. Check our the tablescapes over at Amy Atlas. They are amazing. I plan to do a table just like one of hers.

We all can enjoy a date night every now and then. Considering that money is pretty tight for people right now (Keyword: right now). The Bert Show on 99.7 FM in Atlanta has come up with a few suggestions for dating on a budget.
Here are a few things that I would try from their list:
What are some of your budget date ideas?
I am really feeling the new Donald Lawrence cd. It talks a lot about speaking the Word which has been my theme this year. This album feature The Company which includes singers such as Dewayne Woods, Latrice Pace and so many other talented voices. “We need to say the right word for the right thing” says Donald Lawrence. He talks about how we use negative words to describe great things. You know we say “that was so sick” or “he killed it.” Lawrence says, how does our spirit know what to do when we are saying the wrong words? The Co. sings boldly, “There is a law of confession you just say what God has said…Speak the Word.” And that’s all that’s left to say.
My favorites: Back to Eden, Speak the Word, Citizens of the Kingdom, Let the Word Do the Work, Happy Being Me, There is a King in You
The Bible teaches us to honor our parents in the Lord. Since today is Mother’s Day, I would like to share one of my favorite passages in the Bible about mothers.
Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (NIV)
To all mothers and mothers to be – Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!!
It seems as though people don’t dress up anymore. We don’t dress up in the office or anywhere else that we go. I’ve noticed that I don’t really dress up to go to work. What happened?
At my job a lot of people had become so laxed with our attire that our managers were asked to review the Dress Code Guidelines with the employees. Our office attire went from business casual to just plain old casual. We were wearing play clothes for business clothes and apparently someone to it too far.
Since casual Friday is now an everyday thing, Designer Woody Wilson suggests wearing a dark wash jean because that can easily be dressed up for the office. The jeans can be paired with a blazer and then you are good to go. If you have suits you can break them up and wear a casual shirt with the slacks/skirt and wear the jacket over jeans.
