So I know we have been back from our Disney trip in February for nearly three months, but I have finally finished blogging about everything from our trip! Check out all of my posts here!

Spring Break 2019
So I just realized I never blogged about our Spring Break back in March. We didn’t go on a big vacation or do a whole lot of the ordinary, but we did have a lot of fun that I want to share.
Torn Basil
So Torn Basil is a restaurant found in the Memphis Airport. We ate there while waiting for a flight on our way to Orlando back in February 2019.
Memphis Zoo
In early March, we went to Memphis to visit Brad's family. His dad was turning 60, and his mom was surprising him with a birthday party that weekend with family. While there, we visited the Memphis Zoo. I don't recall ever visiting here before. As a kid we went to the Birmingham Zoo, but I never remember the Memphis Zoo. And this was an obvious first visit for Melody. My brother in law and sister in law have season passes, so they were extremely familiar with the zoo and what Melody would be interested in. So because of this, we followed their lead, and I didn't do any research before hand. As an avid Disney planner, this was difficult for me, but I knew I could trust them and their guidance!
Shadow Box Guestbook
One of the items I was in charge of for my cousin's couples shower in Memphis was the guestbook. I contemplated many different options. My original thought was to try and do some sort of guestbook that tied directly to the theme of the shower...Memphis, BBQ, Elvis, etc. My best friend had a cute idea of getting everyone to sign an Elvis record. My biggest concerns were a) how would they display it; b) how expensive it would potentially be; c) how easy would this be to do. I decided in the end to go a safer route. I saw various shadow box ideas, but decided to just come up with a version of my own.
Couples Shower Invites
One other "craft" I was in charge of for my cousin's couples shower in Memphis was the invitations. My mother-in-law knows I love doing things like this, so it made sense. At the time, our theme was Hometown Memphis. Both the bride and groom are from Memphis but currently live in Ft. Lauderdale. Since the shower was being held in Memphis, it made sense to make the them Memphis based.
Napkin Rings
I have discussed making napkin rings numbers times [baby shower and baptism], but I liked to share different napkins rings that I do for various events. I was in charges of the napkins for the couples shower I helped host. I wanted to do something cute that tied into the theme very well. Check out what I did below!
Hometown Memphis Couples Shower
A few weekends ago, I helped host a shower with some of Brad's family for one of his cousins who is getting married later this summer. They live in South Florida, but both his cousin and his fiancé are from Memphis. My mother in law came up with a "hometown" theme. Memphis is know for their BBQ, so that was a must. Then we decided to incorporate both Elvis and the Memphis skyline. The shower was a team effort. Below is the final product of that effort. I am going to do a few posts later about the crafts I did specifically though.
