Dreamy Mother’s Day Inspiration

Any big plans for Mother’s Day? We’ll have the entire family from both sides in town for Olivia’s baptism on Saturday, so Mother’s Day will likely be a low key brunch at our house.

But if I could plan a Mother’s Day fit for a queen (my mother-in-love and dear momma), this might be perfect:

I’d make cute little labels for the pancakes, mimosas and grapefruit halves:

(feel free to right click and download for a future brunch, wine & cheese party or the like – just add a toothpick, straw or string depending on your food or drink item)

And Kevin might make delicious little silver dollar pancakes.

What a dreamy Mother’s Day this would turn out to be!

(PS it’s my first Mother’s Day – if you count the time the bambino is out of the belly – and I’m so excited to celebrate!)

Easter Entertaining Decor & Inspiration

Easter is just around the corner! I picked up a bouquet of daffodils and tulips just the other day at the market and they added such a bright and fresh touch to our kitchen and dining room. Any type of bulb flower at a sweet price is a definite nod that spring is here.

Here are some of my favorite Easter entertaining ideas – after all, it’s a mere two and a half weeks away!

We’re celebrating Easter with family and I think a casual brunch outdoors would be a lovely way to relax.

Purples, pinks, corals, creams… the inspirational palette for this year.

I have several white paper lanterns that I hang at varied heights for just such occasions.

A simple spread of french toast, boysenberry syrup and fresh squeezed oj? Yes please. Served atop vintage dishware with mismatched glasses around a centerpiece of beautiful flowers – double yes.

Alright, so I probably won’t hang antique chandeliers above the table, but it’s pretty, right?

Here are a few more inspirational Easter ideas!
