Happy Monday morning!!! I’m pretty much bursting at the seams with excitement because today is my one year blogiversary!! I started B~Loved Boston on this day one year ago and I can’t even tell you how much joy this little blog has brought to my life in this last year!! I can’t thank you all enough for all your comments, emails and friendships you have given me!!! I’m so lucky to have you all as blogging friends and some of you that have even turned into IRL friends!! A little sappy, but it’s true! I have a special treat at the end of the post as a token of my appreciation!! But before that, let’s talk weekending!!
Engaged!!
Engaged!!
I got the best news on Friday night that my cousin and his girlfriend are now engaged!!! I’m so excited for them and can’t wait to celebrate NYE with them!! Forget “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” we’re ready for “My Big Fat Russian Wedding!!”
That’s A Wrap
That’s A Wrap
I decided that after a great workout I needed to get my holiday shopping started! Not realizing one of the gifts was way too big to hide, my only option was to wrap it!! I have to admit this made me want to get our tree up soon!!
For the last year Gary has been working hard at establishing a new chapter of his business fraternity at Northeastern University. Saturday night we were finally celebrating the new chapter being installed with a banquet all the collegiate’s put together!!
Toasting
Sunday my friend Jackie and I were toasting to a very special bride saying “I Do” next summer and clearly talking about my favorite subject…weddings!! As a side note – if any of you want a gluten free recipe for those mini muffins, let me know!!
Relaxing
Sunday night ended in the best way possible: a fresh gel manicure & some light reading!!
And now onto the fun stuff…
Rather than deciding what gift card to share with one of you – I decided it was best to let you pick your prize!! I also have a few of my favorite things that will just have to be a surprise for the winner!!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week and don’t forget to link-up and share your weekend with us!!

Happy anniversary to one of my FAVE blogs! Wow – can't believe you have only been around here a year. I love all your posts – the updates, Weekending of course, the fashion, etc, etc etc. I still can't get over your Leathered Up post from a few weeks back. I need all of that in my life!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face and generally an idea in my head about 4 times a week…more if I'm lucky! =)

Happy Blogiversary!!! Congrats to your cousin, how exciting! Has he enlisted you help yet? 😉 We must MUST must get together soon!
Happy 1 year of blogging! So glad we met!
You and Gary are such a gorgeous couple!! Congrats to him!
I must admit, we pulled out our tree yesterday! Mia squealed all sorts of girly squeals when we plugged in the lights, it was the cutest thing!! This is the first year we have ever pulled it out before Thanksgiving, but to my defense, I'm waiting a week or more to hang the ornaments! My plan is to have the newness of the tree wear off so that Mia *hopefully* won't be interested in touching it anymore and will leave the ornaments alone, ha ha!
Happy 1 year of blogging! And congratulations to Gary.
My instagram was blown up with Christmas trees yesterday. WTH? Too early. I have all my gifts bought and cards done, Just need to wrap. Decor doesn't go up until after Thanksgiving though.
Happy Blogiversary! One year is a milestone! And umm, yeah I want the recipe! Yum!
