Wedding Dress Shopping

On Saturday, Hannah picked out her wedding dress! My family and Josh’s (Hannah’s fiancé) family drove to Sharon, PA to The Winner, which is a three-floor gown store.

The Winner also happened to have a men’s lounge, so that’s where all the guys, except my dad and Hannah’s future father-in-law, went to hang out and watch TV while the rest of us helped the bride-to-be pick out her dress.

Hannah and I drove separately and thought it was funny that we both showed up wearing almost the same outfit.

We all had a lovely time watching Hannah try on beautiful wedding dresses. The intricate details in every gown never cease to amaze me. Here are a few of the dresses she tried on, but didn’t end up choosing.

Hannah looked amazing in every single dress, and I’m pretty sure each of us had a different favorite dress on her, ha!

There were definitely a few tears shed–mostly by the parents. Hannah and Josh are both the youngest in their families, so I think it’s a bit emotional for the parents of the bride and groom!

Hannah picked out an absolutely stunning wedding dress, and I can’t wait to see her wear it again in June. Saturday was such a wonderful, happy day.

I decided to film a vlog so I’m able to look back on the special day it in the future!

P.S. Mine and Jimmy’s newest family member makes an appearance at the end of the vlog. I can’t wait to officially introduce him soon!

Nature’s Bakery Review and Giveaway

I absolutely love Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars. I first tried the bars when I was looking for an on-the-go snack to bring with me on my trip to Savannah. I finished a box of the blueberry Fig Bars within days and was hooked.

I decided to reach out to Nature’s Bakery to do a review and giveaway on the blog because I want you guys to try these bars. They’re seriously delicious.

What I love about Nature’s Bakery is that their bars have simple ingredients. When I’m running errands all day, at work, or traveling, I love that I can reach for a Fig Bar and know that I’m getting a quality snack that isn’t going to leave me with a sugar crash in an hour.

Nature’s Bakery has three lines of products–Whole Wheat Fig Bars, Gluten Free Fig Bars, and Whole Grain Brownies. Every product is Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, soy free, and kosher. I could go on and on, but if you want to learn more about any specific product, you can explore them here.

I was sent several boxes of the Whole Wheat Fig Bars to review, and asked my family to help me taste test one Sunday afternoon. We all tried a few different flavors, which was fun.

By the end of the tasting, everyone had their own favorite. I thought that was pretty neat. The blueberry, raspberry, and apple cinnamon flavors were big hits with everyone.

Here are our notes on each flavor!
