iphone Clothes

Help! I cannot decide which delicious iphone cover to get my naked friend! These colors and prints from JCrew are yummy--I am leaning towards the "brilliant fuscia" (purple) color.

Thoughts?

Happy Halloween

Top two reasons Halloween rules: 1. People dress up their dogs like this. 2. You get to play dress up and pretend to be someone you are not. Rock on!!!!

Decorating with Wedding Gifts

We were so lucky to receive so many lovely and functional wedding gifts (wedding 09-10-11) and we have been busy finding a home for each special piece. Two really special, handmade gifts were from the collaboration of 1. three of my bridesmaids (Sarah, Kristen, & Molly--all with something else in common :) ) and 2. a group of ladies from the Wake Forest days that continue to stay in touch via a private blog we have had going for 5 years now!

The plate is a replica of our wedding invitation. They ladies did an amazing job with the replica and the plate will be a really cool way for Westin and I to remember the special, little details of our wedding.

The frame is a display of the three places Westin and I can call home together. First, Winston-Salem, North Carolina more locally known as "The Dash" and home to Wake Forest University--the home of the Deamon Deacons and Westin and my first meeting place. The second, Atlanta, Georgia where Westin and I both grew up and continued to live after college--the home of Coca-Cola, the "Dirty Birds", and where Westin and I tied the knot. The third, Orange County, California the place we now call home and have lived together for the last three years--the home of the MTV hit Laguna Beach, the Bravo hit The Real Housewives of Orange County, and well many other hit guilty pleasure reality shows.

Westin and I really love these special gifts and I am also digging the wall collage--many inspirational collages to be found on Pinterest. Don't forget to follow me http://pintrest.com/joymelaniejoy and I would love to follow you too! XOXO!

Welcoming Myself to the Blog World

Hi, I am Melanie Galloway, formerly Melanie Schneider and I am glad you stopped by. I have been tempted to describe who I am, what I do, and what I love. But, I am going to let this blog do that for me. So for now--you get a name and a face (I am the one on the right). :)

Why start a blog?

Let me be honest--this is a project I have been meaning to start up for a while--with the inspiration of tracking the first year as a married lady, the ins and outs of becoming a Galloway, and all the adventures yet to come! And who knows--I may have to change that pretty 365 # in the title if all goes well. Thanks for jumping in on this journey with me! My hope is this blog can be somewhat like my favorite tv show Seinfeld--a blog about nothing, yet somehow interesting.

So go ahead and comment when you are inspired and click that pretty subscribe/follow button so you do not miss a beat! Thanks for visiting!
