With daylight savings time and a long drive back from San Luis Obispo, I’m running behind with the latest post. Tune in tomorrow for a recap of Jean’s Southern California baby shower. In the meantime, here’s a cute photo of us with mom:

So, you had a big party yesterday…the house is clean, lots of flowers and food on hand, guests are in town…how about another party?  A leisurely Sunday meal can be divine.  Rob and I hosted nine for lunch last weekend with a simple, meyer-lemon-inspired menu to celebrate Trent’s triathlon.   All together, it was just a…

How beautiful are these white anenomes from the flower market last weekend?! And, surprisingly durable.  They lasted much longer than I expected – longer than the roses and dahlias for sure. I’ll definitely buy them again when I see them.

I’ve thrown almost a dozen baby showers – this was a favorite and extra special! But I didn’t actually host it – Jean’s friends Jill and Kelly decided on the theme and put together almost everything.  Let’s dive in: The guest of honor: My sister, Jean, is due with her first baby at the end…

This weekend was packed with fun parties to celebrate my sister and her husband. Each event deserves it’s own write up, so stay tuned for detailed party recaps this week.

We really made the most of this long weekend. It feels like I toured the world food-wise (Chinese, Swedish, French, German, Japanese) and did a triathalon (swimming, biking, hiking). This is going to be a long one 🙂 Rob and I got a slow start on Friday night with Chinese takeout and episodes of Weeds…

I forgot to show you the final results of our printing project from the weekend before last!  These save-the-date tags are for our friends Jackie and Pierre. They’re having a fun, romantic, vintage-style wedding at an apple orchard this summer. We used these gray and team hangtags from Paper Source, along with envelopes in light…

What a funny, strange weekend this was! On Friday, we met up in the mission with our friends Matt and Amber on an impromptu visit from Seattle and their friend Ryan.  We started with a cheese flight, raclette and drinks on the sidewalk patio at Mission Cheese: Then, the five of us walked down to…
