Perfect Wedding Dress

Some dresses need a special undergarment to make your outfit look right. Decide what type of petticoat you need first. Do you need one with hoops or with out hoops. If you do need hoops, wear another pettiskirt on top of the hoop layer so the hoops don’t show through as much. You can choose one made out of netting instead of hoop if you don’t want to bother with them. Netting is usually there to keep your wedding dress from constantly pulling through your legs as you walk. It looks a lot more glamorous to walk down the aisle with out your dress tucking in between your legs.

Beautiful Wedding Dresses

This utterly stunning gown is a modern twist on the classic strapless wedding dress. Coming in a non-traditional blush hue, or the more classic bridal ivory or soft white, this dress is sure to scream bold and original all day long. The draped organza bodice and hand-cut bias flange skirt are not only extremely form flattering, but they also create a dreamy princess look. The silky charmeuse lining makes it unbelievably comfortable while it still has some structure to its form. This gown will leave some things left up to the imagination and won’t disappoint in your classic outdoor wedding. Let your true beauty shine all day inside this flowing layered gown while you comfortably strut down the aisle or boogie on the dance floor at the reception.

curious birds: trying new things

via

i am not a thrill seeker or a very adventurous person. if you are looking for someone to go skydiving, bungee jumping or cliff diving with, you will not find her here. this has not always been the case. i used to be a tiny bit braver than i am today. even through high school i would ride scary roller coasters and crazy rides. but you will no longer see me in line at the amusement park. i can't even do the ferris wheel. (being stuck at the top of this is one of my worst nightmares. and if you don't believe me...my stomach honestly just dropped going to that website). i am seriously such a wimp when it comes to things like that. i am, however, adventurous is certain ways. if we were at a restaurant and you wanted me to try some crazy new cheese? heck yeah! bring on the fromage. if you were to ask, hey nora, try this crazy awesome hot sauce! my reply would always be, okay! i freakin' love hot sauce! i will almost always be first in line at karaoke (okay, maybe not first. but i will always go right after megan). i long to travel more. i really want to see the world. and i would love to try surfing, white water rafting, mountain biking (on a small mountain), and many other fun and crazy sounding things. i would! i just haven't. but hopefully, someday, i will.

i got to thinking about this the past few days. i have been watching megan's two awesome, amazing and crazy kids this week. they are four and six and they are super adventurous. they will try anything at least once (and usually over and over). seriously, henry can do a back flip. how do you think he figured that out? i love that about kids! it is so awesome. watching my one year old try new things, and navigate her way through life through trial and error...it is simply amazing (and often extremely terrifying for me to witness). but she has to learn, right? obviously with a lot of help from me and jim and all the other wonderful people who are teaching me how and helping me to raise her. we all had to find our way. so, at one point in our lives we were all super adventurous and trying new things every day! crazy to think about, right?

so, my question to you today is...

i went to skyzone the other day with the kiddos. seriously, if there is one near you, check it out. i want to go every day now! that is my most recent one. kind of vanilla, but so much fun!

(sorry so blurry. they wouldn't stop bouncing even for a second)!

 recently, i have also started my own successful business! started a blog! (both of these things, obviously, with megan). had a baby (not with megan...although she has taught me a TON about being an awesome mama!). bought a house (three years ago, but whatever)! flown with a toddler (so scary, people)! anyway, you get the picture. now i want to know...what have you done? what should i try?

as always, i hope you are having a fun and adventure-filled day!!!

xoxo, nora bird
