Last weekend I got to see my blogger bestie Monica of Jersey Girl Texan Heart and exchange gifts!!! 

I decided to dress comfy (for the drive which was 90 minutes) but still classy, so I threw on this sequin sweater from Maurices. 

When it came to accessories I kept it light because I didn't want to take away from the pretty sequin detail of my sweater.  I decided to wear this Victoria Emerson Wrap Bracelet.  This bracelet is not only handmade but it's so gorgeous and light weight but I love that it makes a great chunky statement piece.  There are 3 loop options for sizing too. You can also get 20% off  on their site with the coupon code: askaway20 

For my necklace, I chose this adorable Gold Arrow Necklace from Marrin Costello! It's like the perfect length and it's so lightweight. Since I wore a neutral color sweater, the gold went perfect with it!

 I love my bestie because she's so smart. She knows what I love. She got me this gorgeous serving platter carousel because she knows we entertain a lot at our new house! I love this thing!!!!!! I took it out and kept spinning it when I got home.  She also got me another chihuahua ornament which is friggin awesome and she made that cute little deer out of wine corks!!!

We only got one picture together which is fine because I noticed the older I get the more I cherish time with people. Not only was it dark and cold outside so it would have been hard to do photos, but I was more excited to see her and talk with her than take photos!   We haven't seen each other since earlier in 2015.  With the chaos of Rocky's heart condition being discovered and moving and settling in, we totally fell off our normal routine of seeing each other every 2 months.  So I'll definitely see her again in February!

Christmas Meet Up with My Blogger Bestie Monica of Jersey Girl Texan Heart

Soooo on Sunday I met up with my blogger BFF Monica from Jersey Girl Texan Heart for the FIFTH time this year!! In case you missed anything from before, we've met up for dinner, twice actually, a vineyard, and an orchard!

We decided to meet up for dinner at Florence Italian Grill in Breinigsville, PA to do a cookie exchange and gift exchange.  Breinigsville is around the halfway point between my house in Harrisburg and Monica's home in New Jersey.

Just like a typical blogger would do, we both already scoped out a cute shed in the back of the parking lot so we sneakily ran over to takesome photos including some ugly face photos since we are always sending UGLY selfies to each other. 

We each ordered 2 different drinks, they were delicious.  Oh, and the waitress we had was a doll. She was absolutely hilarious and so fun!

Monica made me some delicious fudge brownies with little candy cane bits sprinkles on top. DELISH!! And she got me the gorgeous leopard necklace in the photo and a Chihuahua ornament. 

She also made these bracelets for me!!! You can get your own over at her etsy shop.

And something that meant A LOT to me was that she also got me this little dolphin keychain, to symbolize my support of saving whales and dolphins in captivity.

Soooo I can't wait to see her again in 2 months.   I always have the best week after I see Monica. We are definitely Soul Sisters!

Blogger Bestie Meetup // Grim's Orchard

So my blogger bestie Monica from Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and I try to keep our friendship strong (outside of constantly texting each other) by meeting up in person every 2 months. In case you missed it, so far this year went to Dinner in February, Dinner and a photo sesh in June, and a Vineyard in August. 


So to keep with the Fall season, we decided to meet at Grim's Greenhouse which has an apple orchard, corn maze, and other fun activities during the Fall months.

So what did we do?

Ate delicious food // Can't go wrong with a cheese dog and cheese fries. So much cheese!

Tried an apple cider slushie // I never had one before so this was really cool!   I loved mine!

Got lost in a corn maze // Yup, that's right, in our late 20's we still couldn't figure out how to get through the frickin thing.   We did have a blast with our mini photoshoots whenever we came to a dead end.   Also, we slapped corn. Don't ask.

Took a hayride tour of the property // The hayride was a nice way to see the property in it's entirety without having to walk all over the place. We were kind of goofy and obnoxious on the ride so I apologize to anyone around us.  It's not everyday that I get to be in the company of someone that laughs at everything I laugh so I don't feel stupid. Seriously, some people looked so bored.  So glad I had my bestie with me so we could giggle and chit chat the whole time.

Took Selfies //But first...

Took photos of each other taking photos of each other// Need I say more? 

Gift exchange // To celebrate Monica's birthday I gave her an early birthday gift!  

How much do you LOVE our  bracelets?!?!?!?

Picked apples // We got to pick apples from the actual orchard! I got so many and all different kinds! It was a blast, except for the fact that some of them would fall on my toes and in Monica's face! Haha!!!


Our next meetup will be in December.  We are hoping to do a Christmas gift exchange and a cookie swap.  I'm so excited!

Another Blogger Bestie Meet Up // Pinnacle Ridge Winery

 

 

If you haven't read my blogger bestie Monica's recap of our blogger meetup go do so now!

Every two months me and Monica meet up half way between our two cities.  It usually ends up being near Kutztown, PA.

 

This time it was at a winery where I had to hold up a shed...JK!   But it was at Pinnacle Ridge Winery.  We paid $5 to sample 6 different wines and YES I left with 2 bottles!

See how gorgeous it was? The red barn was perfect for photos. 

We took lots of photos inside including some of each other taking photos of each other, ha!

 

There were beautiful flowers planted all around the property. They were perfect for photos!

There was also a friendly cat that wouldn't go away and it was perfect for photo bombing us!

One thing that was said to us by the woman inside pouring our wine was that we should always cherish our girlfriends and our girl time.  When we told her how we meet up every two months she told us to ALWAYS continue to do that.  We definitely will! Even if we both end up across the country from each other, once a year I will go to Monica and hopefully she can come to me.

 

 

Of course we took a photo of our cars together...Cuppy and Lonestar! This was outside of the restaurant we ate at... DeMarco's.  It was delicious and we got pizza and drinks.

 

I'm really glad we decided to do a wine tasting.  It was really fun and there was a great selection of wine.  The staff were very friendly too! They allowed us to take photos both inside and out.

Love this cute shed!

 

 

I really do cherish my girl time with my bestie.  It's nice to get away and not talk about anything besides what we are doing at the moment.  Talk about living in the now. No wonder I feel so refreshed after our meets!

 

 

 

And of course we like to let loose and be goofy.

 

I can't wait to show you the gifts she got me too! That will be in another post!!!!
