let's go bananas
Here are some more pictures from Jalaine's baby shower. Jenn made the fabulous diaper cake and the monkey on top holding the banana was stuffed with love by Jason and Jenn's son Nathan and was so sweet I wanted to cry. Carolyn did a great job with the gift bags and the overall concept and had some amazing nails to match. Everyone was such a huge help and I was so happy to take part in creating such a special day.
As Kristen said "my uterus was screaming" haha!
It was a beautiful day for a sweet beautiful friend who really feels like more like a sister. I love you Jalaine!
Congratulations to Sean and Jalaine. We can't wait to meet you "Tad"!!

i love you mom
My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there, to my own beautiful mother, Patricia, to Judi who loves me like I'm her own, to Darice who taught me to cherish myself and to Carolyn, my mom away from home. Also, to the mom-to-be to a wonderful baby boy, Sarah Jalaine: you will be amazing. I love you all! (and I love you too Jenn for talking me through the cake pop tragedy and not making fun of my ridiculous cake making foibles )
It has taken some time for me to get there (still a little wigged about pregnancy, not gonna lie) but now I am confident that I hope to someday to join the mommy world; I know I can and I will learn a lot from all the incredible mothers I know.
Jeff and I hosted a little mother's day get together which meant good food and lovely people to complete an extremely busy weekend. (note: DO NOT attempt cake pops when stressed or busy or making an offer on a house. Results may end up like this )
I made some mini quiche and an awesome strawberry spinach salad recipe I found here. I just tweaked it a bit and added some grilled chicken and feta cheese...the dressing was yummy! I also had some fun with desserts and managed to make a few cake pops work. I thought they would initially be an epic fail but with a little (a lot) of help from Jenn they worked a bit better. I don't think my artistic nature carries over into the cake pop world just yet.
Jeff and I finished this long weekend with some cocktails and a little bit of some much needed rest. I hope you had a beautiful day with your mom or someone else you love!
