PENS!

I had to smile when I was flipping through my September issue of Real Simple. They "road tested" pens and listed the top six. I figured I simply had to share the top 6 because all of us bloggers seem to be obsessed with our pens and planners! What is your favorite pen?

1. Best Gel: Uni-Ball Jetstream

Great retractable pen and quick-dry ink minimizes the risk of smudges!

2.) Best Fountain: Pilot Varsity

...old-fashioned, great for important letters or filling out forms.

3.) Best Classic: Paper Mate Flair

...so beloved the design has barley changed since 1963!

4. Best-Looking: LePen

Sleek, chic and ultra-thin...also available in 18 colors!

5.) Best Ballpoint: Paper Mate Silhouette Elite

...perfectly weighted with a rubber grip - silky on the page.

6.) Best Superfine: Uni-Ball Onyx Micro

So sharp, it's almost scratchy...

Honeymoon Recap 3: Florence!

After an amazing time in Lake Como, we headed to Florence. We just had a quick stay in the city, two nights but we had a fabulous time. I think I actually like the food in Florence the best, so delish! The Four Seasons Florence was beyond, everything was top shelf. The hotel is on an amazing piece of property, it is a 12-acre garden in the middle of the city. I just loved it! When you were inside the hotel, you felt like you were in the country and then you simply walked out the gates of the hotel and you were in bustling Florence, just perfect!

We made it!

Preppy Cards!

I have been a fan and customer of Preppy Cards for some time now, I actually first heard about the company right when I began working for A. Tierney. I was so excited to hear that they now have a BLOG! I can't wait to read all of their fun posts. Some of my favorite products include the mailing labels, school notes and of course their fabulous announcements. Be sure to head over and check out the new blog and amazing website!

Mailing Labels!

These are a must have, I need to order some ASAP with my new last name!

As a teacher, I am simply obsessed with these School Notes,

a must have for all parents with school age children!

Preppy Cards simply have the cutest announcements!

Honeymoon Recap 2: Lake Como

We were sad to leave Venice but so excited to head to Lake Como. I have to say Lake Como was my favorite spot on our honeymoon, it was so beautiful and so so so romantic! We rented a car and drove from Venice to Lake Como, it was an easy drive and kinda of exciting with all the crazy Italian drivers. When we pulled into our hotel, Villa D'Este, I was in awe. It was perfect, like something out of a movie, if you ever get to Lake Como you simply must stay here, it's beyond.

We rented a car and drove to Lake Como, it was fun!
