scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam!

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA...

Our Philosophy? GIVEAWAY

I was strolling through Sephora over the weekend and stumbled upon a great find!  The first thing I always do is head to the back of the store to check out philosophy (one of my favorite brands) and this time I was stopped in my tracks by this wonderful little collection: YES, it's called the bridal party !  "How perfect," I thought.  And anyone who knows me knows I LOVE philosophy so seeing that one of their collections dons the name of my company ( The Bridal Party ) immediately put a huge smile on my face. philosophy's the bridal party collection is for the bride-to-be and includes a trio of shower gels inspired by wedding traditions that are sure to pamper the beautiful bride before the big day.  It's an ideal bridal shower gift, but could also be a wonderful gift for bridesmaids. * * * * * * * So…I've decided to offer one lucky person their own the bridal party collection by philosophy!
