Baby Shower Blooms

Recently one of my very good friends had her baby shower and it was too cute not to share. Food, cupcakes, mimosas...for those of us not preggers, laughter, new friends, old friends, and did I mention gifts?  Baby Layton is going to be spoiled! 

The outfit I chose for the occasion was a bright floral skirt with a comfy "pop the champagne" white tee and booties.  It was a little chilly and rainy that day so I threw on a the perfect lightweight trench coat.  A must for many seasons!

Besides my outfit, I wanted to share some of the cuteness of the shower! I think one of the best ideas included a bartender, "the hosts' father", who made sure to keep our mimosa glasses full! And did I mention he had on bow-tie, it was so cute! The momma-to-be is beaming and oh so beautiful! A fantastic shower filled with love!

Pig and Finch and Brunch

First off, I must say...finally, I have met someone who likes patios, brunch, and bloody marys almost as much as myself.  Kansas City has some of the best brunch there is too offer in my opinion, which could be a little biased I suppose, but recently I enjoyed a lazy Sunday eating brunch on the patio at Pig and Finch; sunshine, good company...and oh, that bloody mary.  When your drink comes out with olives, limes, bacon, and garlic...how can you possibly go wrong?

Their menu offers the perfect variety of brunch items, but today I decided on Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with a Blueberry Compote and a side of smokehouse bacon and all of it was amazing. The Crabmeat Omelette with broiled tomato, hollandaise sauce and fontina cheese along with homefries and a wolfermans english muffin was very good; give it a try if you are craving something a bit more rich.

Check this place out the next time you are in the area...they also have a fabulous lunch and dinner menu too! 

Happy Friday!

Pendleton's Country Market

Recently I was taken to Pendleton's Country Market for a little weekend adventure. This lovely little farm is just outside of Lawrence, Kansas, and is full country charm.  Fresh flowers and produce all grown on the farm makes this a top pick for me.  Just over the tracks, you can wander through fields of asparagus waiting to picked; take the short walk to get there or hop on the tractor and take a ride to hear the history of the farm and all about asparagus.  They also highly recommend taste testing...you know I was all about that!

Let the picking begin...and to be exact, we gathered up 9 lbs. of asparagus.  That's a lot in case you were wondering.  Probably the best tasting I have ever had too.  Crisp and flavorful, definitely worth the "picking".  It was the perfect Sunday. I recommend taking the drive to visit.
