Kitchen Facelift

Hey, Bri here. Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. My kitchen's in shambles. Want to see a picture?

We are getting new cab doors! And the island is getting a little more pimped out. Pimped out sounds like it's going to be bedazzled. Haha. It isn't- it'll just have a little more mmph! They are coming to install either on Monday or Tuesday. I'm really excited! 

Hope your weekend is jammin'! See ya next week!

Quinn's Blessing Day

Quinn was blessed this past sunday! After the meeting we gathered at Kara and Kimble's home to eat and be together. Here are some pictures:

Juice bar. I made tags for each different flavor of juice.

Britt made these ham and swiss sams. Talk about decadent. RECIPE HERE.

Kara's Banana Cream-cheese Swirl Muffins and classic blueberry.

Our mom put together this rad spread where everyone could make their own yogurt parfaits. It was a hit! Ingredients included: plain yogurt, fresh mixed berries, shaved coconut, chopped pecans, raisins, uncooked irish oats and raw sugar.

I was in charge of putting together the cereal bar. There were three different cereals offered as well as a granola. I placed a bunch of bananas on a cutting board for slicing and had a large pitcher of cold 2% milk at the ready. This cereal bar was a cinch to put together, but had a big impact. The kids loved it.

Mom made apricot bars! Dynamite.

I made this banner the night before the blessing day. I saw the idea on Say Yes To Hoboken and thought it was clever and I'm stoked to be able to use it on other occasions. I used miniature clothespins to attach the chalkboard circles to the string and I like the way it kicked it up a notch. P.S. I found all the stuff to make this at Michael's. 

And one last one of Kara and Quinn, matching noses and all! Aaaaaaaw.

It was a perfect day spent with loved ones. If you have any questions, let's chat in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

Kitchen and Garden Love

I could get lost looking at pictures of dreamy kitchens for hours. A particularly memorable kitchen that I want to remind you of today is Cameron Diaz's in the movie, The Holiday. I'd like to make Christmas fettucine here like Kate Winslet did for Jack Black in the movie (didn't that fettucine make you salivate-- after watching the movie my mom and I rushed home and made some). I also could live in Kate Winslets cottage from the movie, but that deserves a whole 'nother post. That Nancy Meyers sure knows how to make us all swoon.

And here is Meryl Streep's garden in the movie, It's Complicated. I seriously want her life in this movie, except I would have to be married to my wonderful Randy (Lime Rickey), and have my girls. P.S. The movie is sort of annoying, but the sets will knock your socks off-- especially the bakery she owns! It's insane.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend! See you next week, friends.

xoxo,

Bri
