Decisions... decisions...

Having an impossible time making decisions these days, but want to order a pair before it gets chilly (or at least what we Cali peeps like to call chilly). 

Buy here, if you fancy.

Happy Hump Day Shopping!

More Babies...

This past weekend, I made the journey to Santa Rosa to celebrate my beautiful friend Amy and sweet Baby Lucia on the way.  After an 8 hour drive on Friday, we went to a favorite winery- Mazzocco, where we got to see the Seaton and Cromie families, listen to live music, enjoy some eats and tasty wine!  

Saturday we had Amy's shower at her dear high school friend Lindsay's parent's house. Gotta love Nor Cal, where peoples families live close and have homes and wineries to host special events!  It was a gorgeous day and things couldn't have gone more perfect.  

Here are some photos and details from the shower. 

 Glowing Momma to Be

I'm tellin you, a little bit of ribbon on a Classico or capers jar makes the cutest flower vase!

My amazing mother slaved away making chocolate covered caramel pretzels for the favors.

(I helped with 6 out of 45 and they were a lot tougher than you would think)

Thanks Mo Mo, you are the best!

 Always a fan of the clothes line.

Knitted items by my momma!

Can't ever have enough CHEESE!

Perfect weather in a beautiful backyard. 

Couldn't have been more perfect!

Gifts galore.

-Diaper game-

We wrote messages on diapers for Amy and Luke to enjoy while they are changing sweet Lucia.

The food.

She's going to be a little Scorpio like her Auntie Sam, yippee.

Farmer's Market Find!

Every Sunday (that we are home), I look forward to going to the Brentwood Farmer's Market. 

We walk around the country club to the get the heart rate going and blood pumping and then we head through the market picking up all our favorite produce and food for the week. 

The vendors have become acquaintances and I enjoy seeing them all each week. 

Sometimes there are new vendors with tasty goodies or creative ideas. 

This past week, we stumbled upon

PB Green

Reusable Snack Bags & Sandwich Wraps

It was a young couple working the booth with their adorable daughter (I'm sure the inspiration)! 

The cute patterns caught my eye and made me stop to check them out. 

The Sandwich Wraps turn into a place mat, can you say brilliant?

 

BEST PART: They are dishwasher safe!

Such a great gift, all my friends with kiddies, watch out, this is what's coming!

Obsessed.

Don't stop, don't pass go, head straight to TJ's!

Confessions of a Foodie that Sometimes Likes Junk Food Too!

Sometimes, you just gotta give in and have a B & C! 

 

That pic doesn't do it much justice...

umm, like YUM!  

Now what? 

I normally reserve my eating of such things for road trips, but today was an exception.  

(Road Trip = TBell + In N Out)

I think I'll have to stop at Whole Foods on the way home and pick up something healthy to make for dinner.

The PERFECT Gift...

...for a newborn.

It's always nice to take a little something the first time you meet a dear friend's baby

or to send a welcome something in the mail.

I'm big on thoughtful gifts that don't break the bank!

This is one of my absolute favorites.

A wooden block with all the baby's info on each side:

baby's full name

baby's initial

date/time

where they were born

proud parents of...

Amy's turn...

Babies GALORE.

One of my DEAREST friends is having a baby girl this November.

I am honored to help throw her a baby shower for the little girl she's always dreamed of

Lucia Arizona Chiurco

Shower isn't until September, but I was in charge of invites, so here's a sneak peak at what's brewing.

Amy's nursery has a whimsical theme and will have little birdies, so these were just perfect. 

Invitations from here

For those that know my Ames, she LOVES LA!

So it's quite cute that her baby's initials are going to be L.A.

I designed these little stamps, so perfect!

More on this shower after it happens- fingerprint tree guest book, adorable gift ideas and more Bon Bon Knits!
