Hello lovelies! I am so happy to share a few of the amazing photos taken by our long time friend and brother Antonio Burrel. Its no secret that Mr. M and I love a good picture and since we recently celebrated two years of marriage, we taught what better way to celebrate than by taking photos! Antonio did such an amazing job capturing our love & friendship on camera. Tony is easy to work with, offers great locations and tips on poses and is full of great ideas. We will definitely be using him to capture future memories! Please go check out his work and add him on Instagram @antonioprophoto.

T W O Y E A R S M A R I E D - A M O R O C C A N G E T A W A Y I N P A L M S S P R I N G S , C A

                          

This past week, my husband and I celebrated TWO YEARS MARRIED! Hard to believe just how fast time is flying by! I still remember the moment we met in 2006, our first kiss in 2008, when he proposed in 2012 and our wedding in 2014 like it was yesterday!!! Life with Carlos is only getting sweeter <3 In Christ alone we have been able to maintain our friendship & love for so many years. We are looking forward to 100 more even better years!

Carlos and I had planned on going to Morocco for our anniversary, but God clearly had other plans for us. I will share soon. Also, my little sisters 8th grade promotion was in the same week and we wouldn't have missed it for the world. So we planned a three day stay-cation instead! I had my eye on the Korakia Pensione for over a year now and seemed to fit our current needs perfectly. It was close to home, Moroccan themed and in our budget. 

Mr. M and I did nothing but eat, sleep and lounge all day. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy each others company. I highly recommend you consider the Korakia for your next getaway. 

Until next time, have a blessed and wonderful week!!!

Love,
Jessica

D a y c a t i o n - San Diego & Little Italy



         

This past Saturday, my husband a decided to celebrate his 26th birthday a whole week early as I will be at a women's congress on his actual birthday. Carlos had been wanting to go to San Diego for quite some time so I thought it would be the perfect daycation for him!

 We arrive bright and early and started our day b off by having breakfast on Mission beach. We hung out for a bit then hit Mercato Farmers Market in Little Italy where we had the yummiest of treats! Among those treats; salsa samples, hummus and pita, artisan crepes and cucumber ginger lemonade to name a few. Eating and walking was what it was all about. After, we visited Coronado Island, had more yummy treats and drinks, relaxed on the beach and enjoyed Gods beautiful creation.

All in all, it was an amazing day with Mr. M. I am beyond thankful for his life and super grateful that God would allow me to spend it with him. 

Always,
Mrs. M

D I Y F A U X M A R B L E T A B L E - I K E A H A C K


- Marble Contact paper found here.
- Ikea VITTSJO Table found here.
- Scissors
- and a credit card to smooth out bubbles.



I am a lover of all things Marble! So naturally I wanted a marble coffee tale without the huge price tag. This is a happy medium for me! (and my hubby haha)

  
 

I began by laying out the glass (as you can see, this Ikea set comes with two tables). I then measures the contact paper first, then made my cuts. I made sure all surfaces were smooth and clean, then proceeded to peal and stick! Finally, smooth out the air bubbles.

Assemble and enjoy!
