Wohoo! Here's a way to possibly score some HOT deals on wedding details or bridesmaid or groomsmen gifts! Fancy.com currently has a code for $20 off a $20 purchase! That means you can score some FREE items- just pay shipping, which starts at $4.95. I can't be positive that they won't cancel orders, but the code did work for me and I have a confirmation email! Enter 20OFF16 at checkout.

There are tons of items on the site, but the good news is that you can sort by price! Some deals I see:
- Get 4 of the CupPucks above- a folding cup complete with a bottle opener for just $5, so they become FREE after the code and you just have to pay $4.95 shipping. Fun groomsmen gifts!

Or snag one of these pretty Moroccan Lanterns ($14 each) plus a small $6 item and just pay $4.95 shipping!

Or you could grab an iPhone case ($20) for free after the code and just pay shipping- choose from several styles. So many possibilities!

Thank you all for your patience as I've been soaking in all of these wonderful moments of being a new mom. We are just so in love with our little girl. She amazes us every day and we can't believe how she's changed already!

These past several weeks have been full of a ton of smiles and laughter, some tears (from both baby and Mommy!), sleep deprivation and a whole lot of trial and error but I think (hope!) we are getting into our Mommy and Daddy grooves. Every day we feel so lucky and blessed to have little Ava in our lives. 

Here are some photos from Ava's newborn photo shoot from the so very talented Ashley Dougherty.  

I'm so excited to announce that our little bundle of joy has arrived! Baby Ava is 2 weeks old already! She is just wonderful and we are trying to soak up every precious moment with her- even those late night feedings! 

These last two weeks have been a complete haze as we settle into life as new parents, get used to the sleep deprivation, and fall more in love with our little girl every day. I'll be taking a little bit of time away from Belles so I can focus on my new little family. Thank you so much for understanding and for all of the well wishes!
