What I have been up to

It has been super crazy around here lately! I have been working on so many projects!!! As you may already know, my brother is moving away in April, so I have been busy organizing a farewell party for him and my sister-in-law. I can't share the details just yet, because I am pretty sure they stop by from time to time.... But I will, after the 2nd of April.

In the meantime, I have been looking for ideas and inspiration. The food is all taken care of, but I am still looking for dessert ideas.... Would a cake be all right? I saw this recipe last night and I am dying to try it....

What about decor and party favors? I would really really REALLY appreciate your help :)

Apart from that, I am super excited to say that I am participating in a scrap swap that Tara, from Sew Tara is hosting. I am swapping fabric scraps with 2 lovely ladies and I can't wait to see what I get ship their packages.

Oh, and I must take a moment to express my gratitude to all my Facebook fans and blog followers. You guys ROCK!!! Consider yourself kissed, and hugged, and squeezed. Feel the love?!?

What about you? What have you been up to lately? I really love when you post comments. It makes me all giddy!

Have a lovely Thursday and thank you so much for stopping by!

It is a birthday celebration!!!

Hubby celebrated his 28th birthday last week.

And being that we are of Italian descent, the way to our hearts is through (you guessed it!) our tummies!!! It was a day full of fun, love, family and FOOD!

Being that breakfast is his favorite meal, we started our day eating here. I love how simple their menu is and how fresh and light everything tastes! I truly believe they get their produce delivered everyday. Our favorite thing on the menu is the eggs benedict. Their hollandaise sauce is to die for.

We went from this:

To this is less than 5 minutes :)

And here is the **bashful** birthday boy:

Birthday boy got his gift right around lunch time. These will come in handy when we go on our 5-week trip (did I mention we are going on vacation next month?!? Yep, more about that later).

And to make this a puuuuurrrrfect day, we had dinner with the fambam at the Fish Market. We had garlic cheese bread topped with crab, lobster (we named him Steve), a smoked fish sampler and drinks!

We also had cake (tres leches - his fave)! 

And... we embarrassed him with lots and lots of balloons!!!

So glad you stopped by! Thanks for letting me share hubby's special day with you!!!

I hope you have a great week!!!
