{Cupcake Monday} The Savvy Moms Guide Display at Cupcake Camp!

Meet Bri & Amy of The Savvy Moms Guide! They recently participated in Cupcake Campe IE to support the Susan G. Komen foundation. I have been chatting with Bri for the last couple months about printables for their frequent "play date" photo shoots and I was happy to help them with this event! We made a few changes to our free Pink Ribbon printable party circles and these crafty mommas did a beautiful job displaying them at their booth!

Visit Bri & Amy's blog, The Savvy Moms Guide!

Here is their intro on the blog {how sweet!}:

Welcome to The Savvy Moms Guide. We are Bri and Amy 2 average moms who enjoy making the EveryDay SAVVY. We find ourselves starting this new adventure filled with ideas; some good, others great and many that are just plain silly. So here we sit, 2 girls putting our creativity out into the Blogging world in hopes that we may one day be featured on Amy Atlas, organize with Martha Stewart, or work with The TomKat Studio to style a party.


See why I love them?
Have a great week getting ready for Thanksgiving!!

XOXO,

Kim

We recently had our family photos take by Vicki Lynn Photography {see more here}. While I was thinking about ideas for clothing, Sha from Chic by Sha happened to contact me and offer to send a sample of one of her fabulous designs. The timing couldn't have been more perfect! I fell in LOVE with her pink halter pettidress and had to have it for Kate! In her shop, I also noticed that she sells clothing for women. The gorgeous photos on her site gave me the idea of me wearing a pettiskirt, too! Vicki loved the idea and we rolled with it!

Of course, we needed fancy hair accessories to go along with our fabulous pettis, and I had been chatting with Tristian of GracyLu Originals about featuring her on the blog after discovering her from this Bubble Gum party! She offered to create custom pieces for Kate & I and they turned out beautiful!

{Photography} TomKat Family Photos by Vicki Lynn Photography

We recently had our family photos taken by one of my best friends, Vicki from Vicki Lynn Photography. Vicki is extremely talented and I couldn't be more proud of how fast she has grown her business. Her attention to detail and styling is nothing short of fabulous. Vicki has always had an eye for fashion and style. She works with her clients to fine the perfect outfits and locations for her shoots. She pays attention to angles and posing to make everyone look their utmost best. As a perfectionist, she goes above and beyond to produce incredible results that her clients are raving about. A mom of three young children, she successfully juggles her thriving business while being an incredible mother and wife. I am so proud of you, Vicki and I am lucky to have you in my life!

Thank you, my sweet Vicki for beautifully capturing our family!

I couldn't be happier with your gorgeous photography!
Love you, Kimmi
