Thanksgiving Recap!

We flew to Palm Beach, two kids, two flights

We arrived in the dead, and I mean dead of night


Rental car snafu, kids still smiled

Woke up to weather that was worth all those miles

Beaching, golfing, tennis, rollerblading

Best colors are seen when the sun is fading


Kids were good, but we are tired

Next time a nanny in palm beach will be hired!

And The Winner Of The MPM Designs Give Away Is....

Sweet Southern Girl!!!

Congrats darling! You have won a bracelet and frame of your choosing!!! Email me or MPM Designs asap!

Palm Beach- Dinner With College Besties and a House Tour!

The Mr. and I were lucky enough to get to spend time with besties Rye and SHP and their mates for dinner the other night. We had the grandparents babysit and we ran for the door! Imagine my surprise when I saw Rye's condo. I thought HGTV had designed it! UNBELIEVABLE.

She had me at hello with the entry way. A tear literally shot out of my eye when I saw the gorgeousness. Rye is a big fan of the high low decorating, mixing expensive worth while pieces she finds at consignment stores and had refinished. I saw several things she had done and could not tell which was which!

I'm sleeping here next time.

 Loved the kitchen, and busy cooking the best meal ever was SHP. 

Food was so good Rye's Mom had to come and try!

The table was set so beautifully! And at each persons place was a question.  What a great idea! Great conversation starter!






A fabulous time all around!

Let's remember our Veterans today. The people who keep us free and safe!

Happy Birthday Mr. Fabulous

When we met at a two year olds birthday party in the Hollywood Hills, we felt a spark. You had me at Lacoste shirt.

We moved in together in two weeks, much to the dismay of my roommate. Even though I had to cancel a date with you standing in my kitchen "Um, yes we just met, but he has moved in. It's serious", and even though people thought we were crazy, we were engaged six months later. A year after that we were married by the beach in Malibu.

I could not have picked a better Father for my children, a better friend to laugh with, or a better husband to go through life with. I thank God for the day you were born. Happy Birthday Mr. Fabulous. 
PS I knew I picked the perfect man. Born on Lilly Pulitzer's Birthday!!!
