My Latest Obsessions

Cowboy onesie for my sister's baby shower

Cowboy Cookies - Favors for the Guests

The Mother to Be
Happy Friday! My sister's baby shower last weekend was awesome (see pics above). She loved every moment of it and she had a blast celebrating with her friends and family. I found the onesies on Etsy via The Applique Finery. She was fantastic to work w/. And then I saw these adorable Cowboy Cookie Mixes on Bakerella and knew they would be perfect as favors. We are all so excited to meet the lil cowboy (very soon!).

A dear friend of mine and her husband are in town from London this weekend. A bunch of us are heading to a friend's place tonight for a dinner party (we are having burgers and a topping bar and I'm making this roasted beet salad). I heard a rumor that cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes will be there for dessert = YUMMY! And then tomorrow night PFC and I are having dinner with my sister and her husband (one of our last nights out with them before the arrival of their little guy). We are heading to Prasino.

Enjoy the weekend. We are hoping to get a little apple picking in this weekend w/the kiddos as well.

And here are some of my latest faves.

My Latest Obsessions

Happy Friday! Fall is definitely here and according to M and C it officially started on the 23rd. Lots going on this weekend - off to a dinner party tonight and then tomorrow I'm going to see a dear friend (who is in from NYC) for lunch and then a show/dinner tomorrow PM. AND my sister's baby shower is Sunday - so excited! We have a really cute cowboy theme going.

AND, exciting NEWS - Georgie is officially a WALKER! He has been standing and walking a step here or there but yesterday he took off! The girls were cheering him on - so cute!

Some of my latest faves...

  • I used mason jars for the favors for my sister's baby shower and came across all things mason jar...!
  • Interesting article on failure being the secret to success.
  • The book Missed Connections takes classifieds from Craigslist. The author has a blog - and she illustrates various missed connections. Here is an example of one.
  • I was chatting with someone about the Happiness Project. Interesting. Gretchen Rubin spent a year test driving various theories on happiness - the result = her book The Happiness Project. I like these ten tips for being happier. On a completely superficial note these cute flats would make me happy!
  • I'm unsure how I feel about Rachel Zoe yet I find myself watching her show! She launched her own line - what did Women's Wear Daily have to say about it?
  • I'm digging Pinhole Press. I used them to make a book with pictures from our trip to Montana. It turned out awesome. I think they may be my new go to for photo books.
  • Some great coffee table books - love the colorful dictionaries. Speaking of dictionaries...M used the word chillax the other day (when describing what she and Georgie were doing). I laughed (out loud). What? Well, the word has made it to the dictionary.
  • I kind of like these galaxy nails...may need to try them!
  • Fall means new TV - I've been watching NBC's Parenthood - LOVE IT. Fun having John Ritter's son Josh back on the scene. Grandpa Braverman (Zeek) cracks me up!
  • A pretty quilt.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Fall - Love, Georgie
Happy Friday (and Fall for that matter)! The temps have definitely fallen. The above pic was taken on our walk to pick up the girls from school. Love his new teddy bear fleece that he got from JuJu for his bday. We are seeing one of Peter's dear friends Saturday PM for dinner who is in from out of town and we are looking forward to a chill night tonight.

Happy Friday! Wow, FALL is definitely here. I love this weather. It is so nice to leave the windows open at night. Wishing you all a lovely weekend. And I'm thinking of all of those affected by September 11th. Amazing to think that it has been 10 years.
