"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." - Coco Chanel

I'm currently planning a bachelorette party for a good friend of mine. Please tell me what was the best bachelorette party you have been to and why? Any tips for me.

PS We are thinking classy not trashy.

Today is a big day for my best friend in the entire world. Today is the first anniversary of her mom's death. Her mom died tragically and way to soon. She was such a big part of my own life and I just want to cry when I think about Nicole's loss. Nicole is one of the strongest people I know. This is why she is my best friend ... we are strong for each other. Today, Nicole, I will be strong for you.
Love always,

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. ~C.S

Headed to Seattle this weekend for a girls weekend! I can not wait!

"Who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

This is so true.
