Love Rhode Island! Looks like you had a great time, too! Congrats on your award and thanks for the blog recommendations -- we will have to check these out! xo style, she wrote
Thanks for awarding me!! And I'm jealous that your best feature is your teeth! Mine used to be straight but over time they've moved, plus I drink coffee which doesn't make them any whiter. I wish I had straighter, whiter teeth!
Congrats!! Lobster rolls...YUM!! I've had those when I've gone to Cape Cod (P-Town - my best friends family is from there). I love it up there. Have wanted to visit RI too.
Jayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
Now I really want to visit RI! Looks like a beautiful and delicious trip!
And, yay for matching hats. I love hats, especially my/our Target one!
Congrats on the award! You totally deserve it.
Princess Sparkles is SO cute. I just cannot get over her adorableness.
Of course you would have fantastic teeth if your dad is an orthodontist!! :)

Rhode Island looks magical! Especially that place where they filmed great gatsby, so beautiful!

That lobster roll looks fabulous. You should get paid for doing PR about RhodeIsland! Our soil is too alkaline to create blue hydrangeas without constant intervention but we(that's a royal"we")keep trying.
Pigtails is looking more and more like Princess Sparkles--check out the mouthes in the photos.
wow! congrats dear!
