Memorial Day Birthday

I usually go crazy over birthday parties. But, since my husband was only turning 32, and I am super busy with a 9 month old... I planned a very low key birthday beach party at our home. I catered in our favorite local Mexican Restaurant, made cupcakes and cookies, and just relaxed. Easiest birthday I have ever planned. Jake's first birthday will be quite different I'm sure. ;)

Here are some pictures of the day:

Come on... you gotta get creative... even on eggs! :)

And if you need even more help around Easter you can get kits to help you design the perfect Easter egg!

Enjoy!

March 2010

In March my husband and I traveled to Destin, Florida for my father in law's wedding. I wanted to post a few pictures of a simple wedding on the beach. It was beautiful, simple, and at sunset. Perfect for a beach atmosphere! I was there photographer for their event! Just me and my little Canon G11 camera!

Here are some pictures:

Santa Baby Dinner Party - Dec 2009

Girls night anyone?

Came across this recipe while looking through my favorite blog... Would this not be perfect for a girls night?

Ingredients:

1 bottle champagne - chilled
1 lemon - FINELY zest half of lemon & juice whole lemon
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 box of small frozen strawberries - thawed

Directions:

In a sauce pan make your simple syrup by cooking water & sugar over medium heat until it boils & thickens.
Take off of heat & let cool. Once cooled, place in refrigerator for a few hours allowing it to cool completely. In a glass baking dish add your chilled bottle of champagne. Add your simple syrup. Add the lemon zest & lemon juice. Stir & place in freezer. Stir occasionally.
Leave in freezer for 3-4 hours until slushi consistency. Before you’re ready to serve your slushis, add in the bag of thawed strawberries & juice. Mix well. Serve in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint if you like.

Cheers,
