I took quite a beating last week. I am exhausted! Still slightly recovering from a fun holiday weekend. Wrapped up the baby shower I did @ The Reef on Saturday. Jetted over to PV for a dinner party I worked for the catering co - beautiful location… was there on May 10th for a wedding and still waiting on pins and needles to see how the pictures turned out! This private is so amazing. You can really create so many different looks on the property.

I’m loving my schedule right now.

  • June 7th  I have a wedding @ Union Station 
  • June 21st has me at another wedding at a private estate in Tustin Hills
  • June 26th - 30th, I’ll be up north to do some wine tasting, site check in Healdsburg
  • July 4th-5th - v-ball/b-day weekend - yay!
  • July 12th - 20th - vacay in Cabo w/ Mikey and Madi… I can’t wait!
  • July 26th - 28th - have to figure out a fabulous b-day party for my brother sometime in there.
  • August 2nd - wedding in Catalina
  • August 31st - wedding @ Fenyes Estate
  • September 20th - wedding in Healdsburg
  • October 12th - wedding @ a private estate along Malaga Cove - amazing view of the sunset!
  • October 19 - wedding @ Wattles Mansion
  • November holds something pretty exciting that I can’t share just yet

Moving day is getting closer which has me excited as well as a little stressed. Wall colors and new furniture are so tough to choose - I have commitment issues in this area of life.

I’m helping my brother launch his new business venture - it feels good to help him be so productive.

I’ve been doing a lot ofthinking and talking about my current business plan, where I want to go with it and how I plan to get there. I’ve received a lot of good advice from some pretty great people so I have a lot to consider. We’re just about ready to have another baby soon and that will play a major part in my decision making.

This summer in my “free time” I’ll be teaching myself calligraphy, taking a fun floral class with a couple friends, learning to surf and learning Italian with Madi. We’ll also be taking part in a green group. Busy busy.

 I’ve been following the story of Matt, Liz and Madeline. Just heart wrenching. I feel his pain and anger. A week from today will mark three years since the last time I’ve seen my youngest brother. We’re not so in shock anymore but the hurt still remains. I can’t even begin to imagine having to raise a child alone all the while carrying such hurt and anger in your heart, missing the person that was supposed to be sharing this with you. It’s just awful. It really makes you take things into perspective. There’s a lot of negativity out there. You really just have to hold your head up and keep moving forward.

love this print from lushbella (via maggie holmes) feels appropriate for the way I’m feeling.

See you tomorrow.

The weather is amazing. I’m trying not to get distracted. Lots to do today.

  •  - finish envelope liners for baby announcements I made
  • - drop announcements off with the calligrapher
  • - pick up linen samples for a client
  • - check on floral mock-up for a wedding next month
  • - make changes to the dinner menu for the same event^
  • - check videographer and band price and availabilty for a new client
  • - find luggage for madi for our upcoming trip
  • - get these eyebrows of mine tamed and under control
  • - re-organize my closet (which prob means I’ll end up going shopping)
  • I will NOT be online window shopping or blog stalking! (these are def not on my to-do list)

I want to get all of this finished promptly so that tomorrow madi and I can lounge at the beach. I hear it’s gonna be a scorcher tomorrow.

check out this ring pillow I found via Modern Vintage Designs

Happy Friday! :)

I even promised Crissy that I’d be good. Meh.

Hmm. What have I been up to. A lot, that’s what.

I’ve had a couple of really fun events. Fabulous meetings with equally fabulous clients. A super cute wedding for a super cute couple I looove - pictures to come, I’m sure ;)

On the 16th I was invited to a Brides.com networking event. The ladies at Details, Details had a hand in the planning and designing. Those women have some fabulous taste - there were the cutest brown chair covers that looked like trailing tutus. (My Madi girl would love them!)

The best part of the night was getting to see some familiar faces and meeting a few new ones. I was especially excited to meet Kerrie, Christina and her dashing husband James and I even got to meet the bubbly Jasmine Star and her twinkle eyed husband, JD. ALl beautiful people inside and out. I love, love, love making new friends. Looking forward to seeing them again soon.

I’m no photographer, so you’re going to hav eto check out the images that Jasmine posted on her blog.

 Gotta run… pet shows to plan and PTA meetings to attend. (It still baffles me that I’m a PTA mom)

Here’s a pic of my baby just for fun!
