This weekend, I hosted my first Mother’s Day brunch at home. Being the oldest child sans babies made me the perfect hostess. And the pressure was on.

Niki had set the bar high – see examples here and here. Very high. I think I did a good job, if I do say so myself!

Niki created the gorgeous peony arrangement above. I take credit for the cake.

The kitchen counter doubled as the buffet. The menu included cheesy grits, baked challah french toast, egg white frittatas,  sweet spinach salad and bagels with lots-o-fixens!

The table was decorated with pom poms via Martha Stewart pom, with a few florals intertwined in small apothecary glasses.

Of course the babies needed to know where to sit, as well.

Another shot of the delicious cake: lemon chiffon with a chocolate ganache filling. Available for order from Cakery!

Hope everyone had a Happy Mother’s Day!

xoxo,

Ali

A lovely wash for your delicates and unmentionables. A travel necessity.

Not sure who will enjoy this book more, me or the kids. Ok, obviously me.

Really love this song. So catchy and fun.

It’s graduation season, which always makes me nostalgic for being a student/kid/non-grown up. Here are a few gifts that would be perfect for the graduate entering college. Or even more frightening… the “real world”.

{1. book 2. headphones 3. piggy bank 4. iPad + sleeve 5. polaroid 6. art 7. globe 8. journal 9. glass 10. scarbble}.

Hope this inspires some great gifting to the class of 2012!
