Good Morning all. I’m not one for sharing a lot of pics of my family on here as I’m quite protective of my clan, but I had the urge to put a picture up of mom this am. I feel so very lucky to have my mom. There really isn’t any bond quite like it, right? She’s there for me unconditionally and I’m appreciating that more and more lately.
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom,…

How is it already Mother’s Day? As a mom, I’m usually thinking of everyone else’s holidays and often forget when special occasions come up that celebrate me. I’m sure I’m not alone on this one, right?… I’m curious what you all do for Mother’s Day? Do you get pampered by your kids and spouse? Do you find yourself in the kitchen

Great Finds: Macaroon Boxes
Mother’s day is less than a week away and we had to share these ceramic macaroon boxes that we found from Site NYC. They are the perfect present for your mom or friend who, like us, have a slight obsession with macaroons from Laduree patisserie.

My Mother & Me Guest Dessert Feature
Mother’s day is right around the corner and we think this feminine dessert table from Francisca in Portugal is great inspiration. The design was inspired by a Pip Studio tea set. Sweet treats included beautifully decorated cake pops, cupcakes, mini cakes, meringue, and sugar cookies. We love the sweet styling tips that Francisca incorporated like the use of (1) pitchers to display sweets and florals, (2) various heights to display desserts, and (3) a gift…

Pink Love Guest Dessert Feature
This dessert table was sent to us by Ana and Rita from Sweet Little Party in Portugal. They created this for ARTeirices Gulosas to display their desserts. Sweet treats included cupcakes, cake pops, macarons and heart shaped cookies. The damask backdrop, pearls, and flowers on the cupcakes make this table perfect for everything from Valentine’s Day to an engagement party.

This party was held on a lovely homestead called Eynesbury Estate, which is just outside Melbourne. Janelle and Samone created this vintage tea party in honor of Mother’s day, but the…

Happy Mother’s Day {and Mom Arleen’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake!}
I talked a lot about heroes this week here and here. Since we’re on this heroes theme this week, it seems appropriate to end the week with a post about Moms right before Mother’s Day. I personally gained a deeper appreciation for my mom after I had my own kids. It is so rewarding, but not always easy! Working moms or moms who have their own businesses have that additional challenge {see my post on…

Mother’s Day Over-the-Rim Tea and Cookie Set
My family loves having tea and cookies after dinner. We drink out of petite tea cups and my sons like to pretend that they are serving the tea. It is usually the time when we reflect about our hectic day and we try (emphasize try – they are boys after all!) to have a moment of peace with them.
So when I saw Meghan Mountford’s over-the-rim cookies, I flipped over the idea. Seriously, I can’t…
