Buckeye Belle Boutique

Wow it has been a crazy September so far. I can't believe it is already fall even though it really doesn't feel like it. It's fun to experience new seasons with Miss. Remi. I always wonder how she is going to do in the winter!

At the end of the summer, Remi & I ordered some new toys from Buckeye Belle Boutique! First of all the packaging was adorable! All the toys came in a little pink box with the cutest note!

Remi picked out the Starbarks & Grey Dog Vodka toys! I think it is so cute how they are a play off of real brands. The Grey Dog Vodka toy is hysterical! They all have squeakers & are so durable. She has played with them more than any of her other toys! We even let her keep the Grey Dog Vodka in her cage while we went to a wedding. We figured she would want some drinks too LOL.

I think the Starbarks & Grey Dog are sold out, but they have so many cute other ones like Dog Juilo Tequila.  These Sniffany & Co boxes totally go with the Tay & Co theme! Miss Remi & I also have a discount code for you guys. Use "TAYANDCO10" for 10% off your purchase! This can be used for anything on the site. They just got new fall arrivals too! I definitely have my eye on this camo vest!

Definitely check out Buckeye Belle Boutique & all their fun items. I can't wait to get more stuff for fall!

Bridal Shower

My bridal shower was everything I would've ever wanted and more! My little sister Logan & Mom hosted it for me. It was held a beautiful building called the All Life Center in Delaware, OH. For my outfit I definitely wanted to incorporate white because I was the bride, but I wanted to wear something fun as well. When Jonathan & I went to Philly in February I picked up a colorful Lilly Pulitzer skirt that I ended up wearing with a white blouse & booties!

Before the shower began Jonathan sent over a beautiful arrangement of flowers with a card that said "Looking forward to June 18th". It was so thoughtful of him! As guests arrived there was a choice of champagne, mimosas or a cucumber watermelon lemonade vodka drink. They could also take a moment to write down date night ideas on little flowered sticks & sign their names on little "C" decorations.

Once everyone had arrived we started with a bridal shower game. The game was called How Well Do you know the Bride? Before the shower I had to answer a series of questions about myself. Things like my favorite food, movie, how many kids I wanted etc. It was fun to see what all my friends guessed for each one. After the game we ate a catered lunch of salad, fruit, quesadillas & sandwiches.

We finished out the shower with gift opening which is always fun! Literally I probably registered for the entire Kate Spade kitchen collection at Macy's! I couldn't help it though, it's all so cute!! My mom got us 2 sets of our china to eat our first meal on as a married couple which I though was sweet. Jonathan & I are truly blessed to have so many people that care about us! We received some pretty amazing gifts.

Finally for dessert my sister & mom got monogrammed "C" cookies made! LITERALLY they could be a pin on Pinterest, that is how perfect they were! Guests each took a set of seeds when they were leaving that said "Plant these seeds and when they bloom, remember the love shared today by the bride & groom."

I had so much fun at my shower & I'm so thankful to everyone that could come spend the day with me! Thank you again to Logan & my mom for hosting! Love & miss you both!!

Engagement Dinner

Wow time truly flies! We had our engagement dinner back in April at the Le Mont in Pittsburgh. Jonathan's grandparents put on the party for us! It was so fun to get together with family and friends to celebrate. The view of Pittsburgh from the Le Mont is seriously so beautiful. It sits above the entire city.

How cute were the decorations my mother & sister in law made?! I love how they were Tay & Co themed. So perfect for the night since my new last name is Cohen. The centerpieces were Tiffany blue boxes with Tay & Co lettering on the sides. There were balloons attached to the top of each one. Literally adorable! And I got to keep a few which we have scattered around the apartment.

I wanted to be bright & cheerful so I wore a neon pink dress from Kate Spade. I think my favorite part about it was the bow on the back. It was the perfect party dress! The night started with cocktails which was a great way to catch up with everyone before dinner. After we all were seated a lot of the guests stood up to tell stories about the couple to be. It was so fun to hear encouragement from all the people we love the most! Dinner was AMAZING! I've been to the Le Mont before for other dinner parties Jonathan's family has put on and the food is always so good. I usually get the fillet and mashed potatoes.  

A bunch of our friends came to our apartment afterwards to finish the night out at the bars in Shadyside! Overall the night was perfect! We are so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives. I loved all the pictures we took that night too. Everyone had a great time!

                                 

I'm so glad I was finally able to get the pictures & recap of our Engagement dinner up! The next wedding event recap will be of the bridal shower. Get excited!! 

Finally a Mrs.

We are finally married! It's crazy to say that after a little over two years of being engaged, we are finally husband and wife. So obviously leading up to the wedding there were so many events that I didn't have a chance to post about. We had our engagement dinner, my bridal shower, bachelorette party and then the BIG day! After the wedding we also spent our honeymoon in Antigua.

So I figured I will do some catching up with each event leading up to the wedding these next few weeks. Now that I finally have a chance to breath I really want to focus on creating more content! Starting with wedding adventures and of course sharing millions of photos.

Did anyone else feel a little relieved after they got married?! I literally feel like a huge weight is lifted off my shoulders and now I need a hobby! Get excited for all the details!

Miss Remi the Frenchie

As many people have seen from my endless snaps & Instagram posts... we got a puppy! The newest Cohen addition is Remi the Frenchie. The cutest little thing I have ever seen. Jonathan actually surprised me with her at the end of March. She even had a little pink bow on her head! For a few weeks only one of her ears stood up (adorable) but since then they have both popped up! I really was worried that we might have to tape them to stand up.. that could have been embarrassing.

So far in the first month she's shown us that she has quite the personality. She loves major cuddle time when she isn't running around the apartment. Remi is also a pro at the side eye. French Bulldogs are known to be very social which has definitely held true with Miss. Remi. She will literally run up to anyone she sees to say hi. Quite the little charmer.

It has definitely been a whirlwind becoming a dog mom so quickly. We had to go out and buy all the supplies, complete with a pink rhinestone collar. She is so spoiled already...oops. In true dog mom fashion of course Miss Remi needed a monthly subscription box! Kai Krates is an affordable dog subscription box that is priced as low as $15/month. Kai Krates comes with 2-3 toys and 2-4 chews each month. I think the best part about a monthly subscription box is that you almost forget about it until it arrives. You don't even have to worry about replacing treats and toys because they are literally delivered to you each month.

Miss Remi has a coupon code for you to get 25% off your first month with the code: "REMI". I can't wait to get Remi signed up for these so she can start receiving her monthly boxes!

So far I've learned being a dog mom is exhausting! I mean obviously she isn't a child but it really feels like it. I think the first week we had her I literally didn't sleep. But now we have her on more of a schedule and she is sleeping through the night! #prouddogmom

If anything I guess we are learning to be more responsible? Probably necessary.. but it is definitely super fun having a bestie by my side all day.
