Weddings, Showers and Babies

Welcome to the Average Girls' Guide to Doing it All! This blog is dedicated to helping the average girl with everday concerns, weddings, party planning, and babies. With all of the things that happen to a girl in her lifetime, she needs help sometimes. Even if this help is really just a tip on how to do something better, or cheaper. I am a self-proclaimed do-it-yourself-er, and bargain hunter. I have a degree in Marketing, and an eye for art. I love to be creative and often find ways to make things easier, cheaper, and more stylish. I also like to address those "forbidden" concerns, those tough issues that seem like there is never a "right" answer. I also enjoy rating new products and letting people know if those products that seem to good to be true, really are. I love suggestions and I am always looking for new things to talk about.

Today's post is about me. I am currently at the end of planning a wedding, I have planned two baby showers in the last few months, and seem to be surrounded by babies. Wedding planning is a lot of work, and though I would LOVE to plan someone else's wedding, I have almost hated planning my own. With all of the other things going on in my life, it made it all the more challenging.

When a little girl dreams of her wedding she doesn't picture opinionated family members and friends, vendors who are hard to get a hold of, and all of those silly little things that the bride realizes need to get done exactly a week before the wedding. Not to mention the financial conversations that go on, and never seem to turn out that well. Through these experiences, I have learned how to handle a lot of awkward situations, do things myself, and do them for less. I have also learned that a good friend and a good glass of wine can sometimes be the best type of therapy.
