Bridal Shower

June 18, 2014/ treanab

On Saturday, I had my Oregon bridal shower at my future mother-in-law's house and it was ABSOLUTELY adorable! Who doesn't love being surrounded by the people who love your momma Mary the most? It was such a special day for Mary and I am so glad that I could be there to bring all of her favorite gal pals together! Her friends are crazy talented... just look at this adorable cupcake dress! Belt, not edible.

This was the fireplace right by the front door and I posted on Instagram the 56 days until she's Mrs. Bennett sign. What I didn't mention on there yet, was that momma Mary's friend made earrings for EVERY SINGLE SHOWER GUEST. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!??? So excited for my initials to be tuberculosis--- TB y'all.

And now for the people! My mom, me, and my sissy Madeline. Notice the resemblance at all? :) Almost all of the Bennett girls-- we just needed to add Momma Mary who was parading around with her pals. (Me, Sophie (future niece), Jess (LB's sis))

I did manage to snag her for a couple of shots though! The lady of the hour! The moms! Max, LB's dad, and Mary worked their tails off in the backyard to make it awesome... and awesome it was. It was such a beautiful shower and I feel very lucky to be marrying into this family... which is totally happening because while I was gone LB got these bad boys mailed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yeah... the invites were 4 weeks late... oops).

House of Bennetts

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Oh well oh well oh well-a. Huh! Those summer nights. #youdownwithlmb

He’s just the lesson on loving your kiddo so so well and that life and parenting are forever tries. The things he’s taught her can be summed up into... everything. #youdownwithlmb #lmbanddada @robrich23

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this miracle. This force of a human. This incredibly hilarious, loving, strong, gorgeous miracle. We’ve been trying to give her a sibling for on and off two years now while still doing it “better”. So here’s what I know for sure this Mother’s Day: love yourself no matter how you became a mom. Love how you parent from a place of love and forever tries. If you’re lucky enough to have a mom who loved you, the best she could, try to love her for that too. Love those miracles you’ve got. And rest today in the knowledge that you just are doing it better— own that. Happy Mother’s Day to all. If you can’t get to happy today, you’re good sis. Get off the social media and get some good air into those lungs— Mother’s Day is hard. I see you.

Scenes from quarantine. We’ve hit two weeks here folks. Thanks to their daily walks, Lyla and daddy are doing great. This is a lot of family/at home time and it’s hard. #itsgettingchippy #stayhome #covid_19 #youdownwithlmb

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matte

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matters though is that Lyla had a blast and keeps asking when we can go to Mexico again. #youdownwithlmb

A simply excellent weekend with seeing my favorite humans everyday. #youdownwithlmb @lwbranz @adambranz

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It&rsqu

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It’s very triggering in large and small ways for me, but it’s so important to know her name and her story. @chanelmillerknowmyname @ashleyspivey #spiveys📚club
