Friday Favorites + March Recap

April 8, 2016 · 1 Comment

Friday Favorites + March RecapMarch, you’ve been one whirlwind of a month. I returned back home from vacation and back to normality a few days into March, and went straight into tons of work for a bridal shower, and my cousin’s baby shower that took place this past weekend. So it started out a little of a whack, but man did it turn into a really good month…Friday Favorites + March RecapFriday Favorites + March RecapOne of the first big orders of the month. Endless mini desserts for an adorable baby shower.

The very first bloom in the garden.

Friday Favorites + March RecapThis tree was just magnificent, and one of the very first I saw. It just happened to bloom during a cloudy few days, but it was still a beautiful site to see every day. Friday Favorites + March RecapMorning cuddle sessions with this guy. Friday Favorites + March RecapI’ve missed painting, and loved working on this piece for my cousin’s baby shower. Definitely planning on carving out more time to do painting once again.

I started the year with my “learning something new” as taking up Italian. The next on the list, was to work on my calligraphy skills. Since I knew there would be lots of hand writing projects for these last two showers, I knew March was the month to finally work on my writing skills and getting comfortable with my pen. I realized sometime mid-month having a conversation with J, that the things I enjoy doing on the weekends and during my free time, are most often activities that I do for work projects anyway; like painting, playing with flowers, designing, crafting, and baking. It’s been fun learning new skills and doing different things that make me happy, but feels great to know that it’s what I already do for work. Friday Favorites + March RecapYes, that’s me on the brochure for the cooking school I occasionally teach classes and parties. Those kids are budding chefs!Friday Favorites + March RecapStationery details from an ultra feminine bridal shower this past weekend, can’t wait to share. Friday Favorites + March RecapLeftover centerpiece flowers made mornings brighter. Friday Favorites + March RecapAside form my ultimate favorite flowering trees, I was just loving the endless yellow bushes and trees. I don’t what it is but I am seriously digging yellow, especially tulips. From simply placed in a white pitcher, a favorite way of mine, or done whimsically in a centerpiece like this, it just screams Spring, even though the weather does show it.  Friday Favorites + March Recap

Friday Favorites + March Recap

Oh you know just chatting with the exceptionally lovely Lauren Conrad about her new, and beautiful, book and website redesign. Waiting 2 hours in the cold was so worth it, she is as lovely as I had imagined.

Simplifying my life. I’m not sure if I continued to improve this goal, perhaps because these last few weeks consisted of long work days that went straight into just a few moments of relaxation before an early night off to bed. But this past week I started off April with my habit of reading this and this book. Now I have to get myself off the phone earlier at night. Except the occasional night you have to stay up late to watch this EPIC lip sync battle and laugh your butt off!

Friday Favorites + March RecapWhen I returned home this past Sunday afternoon, from an early morning of styling my cousin’s baby shower, and celebrating new baby Abrantes, and the last party of the weekend, I changed into comfortable clothes, curled into bed and completed relaxed as I began rewatching Outlander. {Guys, have you heard me to talk about this show too much. I might be beyond obsessed. Is it Saturday night yet??} I deleted the emails I needed to, quickly looked over my schedule for the week ahead, and then I just tuned off and allowed myself to immerse into television magic.

After a crazy busy month, I deserved this little break. I set out to make March about my career, to push myself through really schedules and to do lists. Plus, I finally signed up to showcase at a Bridal Show, just a few day before another jam packed few weeks prepping for communions and a first birthday coming up later this April. Yes, this busy weekend was simply the start of one busy month. Bring it on.

I sat back to reflect everything that I was accomplishing. The kind words of family, friends and new fans. It is not only encouraging, but motivates me to continue to grow, to become bigger, to make my business a success. I’ve definitely been feeling confident, after going over my schedule for the rest of the month, then next few months, only to realize all the jobs and fun projects I have coming up! And it just made me really happy. March thanks for a good one, April I’m looking forward to you!

    […] definitely did overload myself in April, more than I probably should’ve, but like I mentioned here, it was really to challenge myself, and I succeeded! 2016 is all about success, and I’m going […]

Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still ca Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still can’t believe that time has passed by & I’ve been lucky to have done her birthdays since she was 1. So here’s a little walk down memory lane to all her past sweet & fun parties🌸

• 4th Boho Butterfly Garden
• 3rd I Scream for Ice Cream Bash
• 2nd Pink Sparkle & Balloons
• 1st Enchanted Forest
This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
