Boo!

I love this time of year. The back to school gig is less hectic by now and things are settling into place as the leaves turn color, and porches start sprouting pumpkins. One of the highlights of my children’s whole year is Halloween, just like most kids. When the costume catalogues arrive, they begin their circling and conversations about what their costume will look like. Of course this changes usually 10 or so times before we narrow in on one. There is a home in our neighborhood that really sets the tone for the festivities. Check it out. This home…

Weekend Brunch Anyone?

Since it’s Thursday, it’s definitely not too early to start thinking about the weekend. I love a good weekend brunch. As far as entertaining, this is an easy peasy one in in my book.

I don’t know why I ever would when the guys at Bakery Nouveau put…

I’m not promoting a business, don’t have a specific angle per se, but view blogging as a chance of expression with a voice. I have a full life as well as a full-time job. At times I wonder, should I keep doing this? What is the goal? Does anyone even read it? I must admit when researching other blogs in the universe frankly, I feel humble. There are so many inspiring and creative blogs out there, there is clearly a “next level” to…

Outdoor Entertaining

Hosting a dinner party is so much fun. From conceiving of the menu…to farmer’s market shopping for it…to table scaping…to carefully arranging seating, it is one of my favorite ways to entertain. I especially love dinner parties that are outside. This past weekend the weather in Seattle was actually somewhat cooperative and we were able to host some guests in our yard. Note: my oldest helping herself to the cheese board before being whisked off to bed, by our most dear sitter. As the meal is the main event of the evening, we plan multiple courses designed for lingering and…
