Show and Tell Tuesday: Grown Up Parties

Linking up for Show and Tell Tuesday: Grown Up Parties. I love to entertain and get the people I love to gather. All my parties may not be Pinterest worthy but here are a few that I've thrown over the years. I love a good party! 

Just last month we threw a FIESTA wedding shower for our friends! Also two years ago we threw another FIESTA shower too. 

Each year my friend, Ansley, and I throw a holiday party and the past two years we have done our FAVORITE THINGS (I'm not sure why all the pictures disappeared on my post about the party) party! It's been a crowd pleaser. Everyone brings an appetizer or dessert to share and then three of the same $10 or less gift that is a favorite from the year and everyone goes home with three new things! It's such fun. Ansley and I rotate each year who hosts so 2017 is my year!

We threw a BBQ Couples shower for our friends before they got married a few years ago. It was at our house as well. 

Baby showers are also fun. I didn't throw this one for my sister but I attended and I just LOVED the BOOK theme! 

Last week I helped throw an Ahoy it's a Boy baby shower for Ansley and it was so cute!

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my past "Grown Up Parties" through the years. 

Life Lately

We have been busy lately and it's not getting any quieter around these parts! Last week Emma came down with yet another double ear infection and along with that has come teething of her molars (I think!). She has her moments where she is totally fine but she also has her moments when she is inconsolable. Her gums are so swollen and poor baby can't get any comfort in that area (thank goodness for motrin on the really bad days).

On Friday we also attended the funeral of some of our friend's mom who passed away from her 15-month battle with cancer. It was a beautifully done service and Salle's life was well celebrated. 

Saturday was such a pretty day we had to venture to the park to soak it up!

On Saturday night we threw our friends, Christy and Andrew, a couples fiesta shower with 5 other couples. We had a great time and they got some awesome stuff for their home. They live down in West Palm Beach, Florida so it was great to see them! Andrew hadn't been home since Christmas. Christy is one of my oldest friends and Andrew is one of Tommy's oldest friends so it's a lot of fun that they are getting married. We have some fun activities for them coming up in the next month or so! Here are some pictures from that night! (thanks Mimi and Baba for having Emma for the night!)

Yesterday I also got out on the tennis courts and now my head is killing me. This pollen is really making my allergies flare up big time. It's no fun! Looking forward to escaping Atlanta for the beach next week and getting a break hopefully from all the pollen.

My parents have listed their house and we are hoping for a contract to come through soon! They have done a LOT of work to it in the past 6 months to get it ready to list. It looks beautiful. If you know anyone looking in the Marietta area please send them HERE!

Weekend Recap- Wedding Edition

So the Robinson's MO these days is that we are always going to weddings or wedding related events and this weekend was full of them! 

Friday night, we had a Stock the Bar shower for my long-time family friend, Ben, and his fiance, Emily. I unfortunately forgot to take some pictures. The party was at a house in Brookhaven. It was great to see Ben's parents and a few other friends of mine from college. Ben and Emily are getting married in October in Dahlonega! My whole family is going so needless to say I can't wait!!

After the shower, we hopped over to the St. Regis to grab a drink with our college friends who had just left the rehearsal dinner for our friends getting married on Saturday. 

Saturday morning I had a bridal shower for my good friend from college, Lizzie. Lizzie is getting married in Hilton Head in three weeks! Colleen and Carly did a great job decorating and cooking for the shower. Lizzie got all kinds of great gifts and it was a nice, small shower getting to celebrate her and Nick. 

Saturday night, we had a wedding for Tommy's old roommate (my high school prom date) and his fiance, Colin and Meghan. I was so excited about this wedding as they are some of our closest couple friends and we knew so many people that were going. It's funny how small the world really gets. The couple we had the shower for Friday night were there because Emily and Meghan work together. It was a great gathering at our favorite place (where we had our reception) Summerour Studios. Meghan did a beautiful job decorating the space. Bold American did a fantastic job with the food. They had a fried chicken station, pulled pork in a mason jar station, and a salmon station. Since our wedding, Summerour has taken over the upstairs that used to be an architectural firm. That is where the cocktail hour was held as well as in the courtyard. Would have been wonderful on our wedding day as it was POURING down rain and our cocktail hour ended up in the main room. Oh well! Here are some pictures from the night. Meghan was glowing and you could just feel the love in the room all night. Such a special time with our friends!

Sunday, we slept in (aren't you exhausted from reading about your weekend because I sure am!) and tried our brunch at Southbound. It was yummyyyy

 After brunch,  I spent the afternoon running my grocery errands for the week. We popped over to the Willi household to see my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew since we didn't get to see them all weekend. Every time I see Collier I feel like he has changed so I try not to go more than a week without a visit over to them! After a quick visit, we headed to a Red Dot picnic (community groups with our church) in Sandy Springs (we usually go to the Brookhaven events) because the Sandy Springs Red Dot group is really making a huge effort to get involved at my school. My principal, his family, two other teachers, and their husbands all went to be able to promote our school and answer questions any community members had about our school. There was a great turnout and the weather held off! We had a great time and felt very loved that so many people are wanting to help our students.

Looking forward to a great week!

Happy Monday!
