 Paris is full of glamour, historic architecture, romance, beauty and a good dose of amazing food.  Here are some sweet french treat ideas!  I love the neutral palette and wide variety of surfaces.  The key to a good dessert bar is presentation and having desserts placed at varied heights!  Enjoy!

Life isn't always a bowl full of cherries, but there is a little bit of sweetness in every day!  It's "spring cleaning/ tax time/ organize for a new year" time here.  Tessa is getting her first tooth and Emma is trying to write out more letters, including her name.  A string of warm days here, makes me believe spring is just around the corner!! I'm not really a soda drinker, but I love the idea of old fashion soda from a glass bottle on a hot day!

Oh-so pretty dresses and lace inspired cakes!  I love the details and classic white colors!  It's a timeless look you can't go wrong with!

I love that our small town is surrounded by so many amazing venues!  See Canyon Fruit Ranch is lush, rustic, relaxed and oh-so lovely.  I'm so happy to share a few images from Kerry and Michael's wedding shot by Ken Kienow.  (FYI- I know Kerry in real life and she is an awesome designer for Olive & Emerald.. check out her website here!  She has been a dream to work with for letterpress projects!  We can't recommend her enough!)


Check out more of her sweet day here!


So happy for you both!

Emma loves her sister... she proudly tells anyone that will listen.. "This is Tessa, she is my sister!"


Tessa can now roll over, laughs a lot, never spits up, grabs and plays with toys, is teething, rarely cries is 17lb 6oz, in size 3 diapers, and she is wearing 9 -12mo clothes.  She is so content and joyful, did I mention a good eater?  Yes, the girl can nurse in 10 mins flat and happily move on with life. She smiles all the time, in her sleep, in the car, even seconds after getting a shot.  Tessa is one happy, chubby, baby!  We love you!
