Southern Flourish Summer 2010

It's magazine day!  In case I haven't bragged about it enough, here is one more:  Did I mention that Jill and I wrote and styled two articles for the new issue of Southern Flourish?  I did?  Oh.  It is so awesome to see my name in print even if they think I'm  from Nashville for some reason.  Oh well.  Check it out!

Open publication - Free publishing - More weddings

The magazine is all digital but you can buy a PDF version to keep or a coffee table book.  Part of me loves the immediate links to click on but part of me still wants a traditional magazine in my hands.  What do you think about online magazines?  Love 'em, hate 'em, or never heard of 'em?

Southern Flourish

Hi.  I'm a published fashion writer.  Yay me!  Jill (of Jilly Moo's fame) and I contributed two articles in Southern Flourish's Summer 2010 issue.  

Southern Flourish is a fabulous up and coming digital southern lifestyle magazine that we were so excited to work for.  It's total eye candy and a must read.  Check us out June 15th.  Until then, here are a few teasers from the upcoming issue.  Enjoy!

29 and Pool Time

30 used to be my scary age but since I had Hudson (or maybe just that I am now almost at 30) I have found that I don't really care so much.  I was all on my own this birthday.  Casey was off gallivanting at the beach with my future brother-in-law and co. for his bachelor weekend.  It was a long weekend of fishing.  Anyway, we did my birthday celebration early at my parent's house last Sunday and Casey and I went to dinner Wednesday at one of my favorite restaurants, Canoe.   Then it was time for my girl time to begin.  Thursday night we saw Sex and the City 2.  Friday Jill and I met with a photographer friend of ours to plan a future Jilly Moo's project that we are so excited about.  Stay tuned for details.

Saturday a group of us went out to celebrate my actual birthday.  My mom kept Hudson that night so I could go out child-free.  There he had his first "swim" in a kiddie pool.  I'm in trouble when it comes to the pool because he has zero fear of the water.  He splashed around and kept sticking his face under water and coming up laughing.   I'm beginning to regret not doing swimming lessons for him.

(Guess we should have turned the flash off...)

Jilly Moo's Giveaway Month

Ok I know this is supposed to be our family blog but I have been known to have a hidden agenda so for this post I'm promoting my other blog.  Most of you already know about it but if you don't, now is the time to check it out.  March is our "giveaway month" so we will be featuring several great products such as personalized stationary, t-shirts, jewelry, spa gift certificates and more!  We all love free stuff, right?  Our first giveaway launched today and it's from a great t-shirt company that we discovered called shipwreck design... they are giving a free t-shirt to one of our readers so go to Jilly Moo's now to register!

 This one is Casey's favorite...they of course, have women's too.

Jilly Moo's: A Blog Story

For those who don't know, I also co-write a blog, jillymoos.  My friend and I started it up after fielding questions from friends and family about where we shop for us as well as for our kids, how to find good deals, new trends, etc.  We decided to just put it out there for everyone to read.  We started it several months ago and it was very rough (and we are still learning as we go) but we only had it out there for our close friends and family.  We had a wonderful lady do a big redesign for us and a photographer friend took some pictures of us to put up and voila!  A beautiful, easy to navigate, useful blog (we hope).
