The Perfect Gift

A dear friend is having a little girl come this Christmas. What a perfect gift! As our friend anticipates the arrival of her little one, we too are anxiously awaiting alongside her.  In the meanwhile our Sunday School team collected gift money to buy Miss. H a little something.
 Of course, I was happy to do the shopping and hit my favorite stores to find just the perfect treat....

Mystery Party: Part One

Hello!!!  We have made it to the other side of Sophia's Chocolate Mystery Party. We had so much fun. A little confession, I don't always love going to kids parties, so when I was dreaming up Sophia's birthday party I began to think of a setting both moms and kids would love. With that in mind, I drew inspiration from the film, Chocolate.  I dream of attending a dinner party in the garden with chocolate as our main course. 

So, I knew the setting had to be killer and a quick draw for everyone.  Let me tell you, I had so much fun dreaming up the party and all the small details. A few of my favorite details to any birthday is excess.  I say go over the top in balloons, candles, and get the details just right. 

Pasqua Fashion

Whether you celebrate Easter or not you can't help but want to buy a dress with a hat to match. Each year my mother sends Sophia her Easter outfit complete with a matching hat. When thinking about what I was going to wear, I turned to Zara and Oscar for a little inspiration. 

Oscar De La Renta

Pretty in pink is an understatement! I LOVE this.

I loved the color mint in the first image above, but really love the look of the pink lace in the second photo. I think this Zara number really embodies both.

Sophia has not received her Easter outfit yet, but I am dreaming up something along these lines...

My friend Lauren also bought this sweet dress for Sophia.  I am thinking this will be perfect for our afternoon egg hunt. 

I wouldn't mind collecting eggs in one of Kate Spade's baskets. 

Hoppy Easter!!!
