Monday Musings

Helllllooooo, Monday!

Back to the grind this week after a fun and family packed weekend of adventures.  My NY family in town combined with a baby shower, a fun Saturday night out, one of the hardest spin classes of my life and the traditional Sunday family dinner made for a lot of excitement and unfortunately, some yawns today.  I imagine the “Spring Forward” daylight savings time thing has something to do with the yawns too! Fortunately, the sun is shining, it’s a steamy 50 degrees today and I’m ready to tackle this week head on!

In the meantime, here are some glimpses into the weekend fun:

It was a “Build-A-Library” baby shower brunch bonanza! The menu included-

• Blueberry lemon loaf
• Yogurt parfait bar – with homemade granola, fruit, honey, etc.
• Coffee-cake muffins
• Bagels with cream cheese, tomatoes, capers and lox (smoked salmon)
• Spinach prosciutto & fontina quiche
• Honey-Baked ham and bacon
• Mimosa bar

The mimosa bar was a hit!  1/3 fresh squeezed juice, 2/3 crisp prosecco… DO IT!

I took advantage of our second floor railing to hang some ridiculously easy paper poufs!

Baby O is a very lucky little boy!  He’s got some fabulous family and friends anxiously awaiting his arrival.

Every baby shower needs a mascot.

For this baby shower, guests gifted books in lieu of cards, with an especially cute book plate inside designed to look like a library card.  Baby O will be reading sweet messages for many years to come.

Couldn’t help but post this… it just makes me laugh.  The scene: Sunday Brunch at Deagan’s Kitchen & Bar.  My baby girl bellied her way up to the bar, ordered herself some apple juice and made herself at home.  She IS 3 years old now, after all…

Hope your week gets off to a great start!

XOXO,
