ON yesterday wins (warning: BABIES & PUPPIES ahead)


Wednesday was wonderful.

It started with an audition with one of my favorite casting directors. Followed by being offered to sign at a new agency (!!!). This alone would have made Wednesday so very wonderful.

But then.. then there were babies. BABIES! Twins, in fact. Cutie, sweetie, lovey, funny, giggly babies. A little boy and a little girl who just stole all of our hearts away last summer. It's amazing to watch them grow, and to see how very much a boy the little boy is, and how very much a girl the little girl is. Best friends were there, too, and we coo-ed and commented on how baby feet are most excellent.

Then LaLa and I got a lot of work done from my office (read: my bed) and I got the giggles myself over how very much I love my new job and love working from home and love my life. She got her own puppy giggle over the flowy dress I had on (which I tried to capture for you in that photo up there, she was wrapping herself up in the skirt portion, I just could. not. deal. with the cuteness).

After we finished our work, in an oh-my-god-will-we-finish style, we hopped a cab to Aunt Julie's where all of LaLa's other Aunties were waiting to meet her. Also, this was a girl's night dinner party, but mostly La decided it was about her. See the picture above of two of her Auntie's looking down? That's because they were talking to her. We ate mostly healthy, delicious things.. but those cupcakes did us in. We never saw them coming. And we tried to do an outfit photo for you but I'll tell you what, an oversized jean button down mixed with a flowy dress, does not make for the best photo opt. But in person? In person this outfit was getting rave reviews. Someday I'll be the type of blogger that photographs outfits daily but today I am not.

This whole week is just so magickal. I am a grateful girl.

ON My First Dinner Party (or, how I learned that parties require chairs)

Right before Christmas, I hosted my very first grown-up dinner party.
Want to know how grown up I am? As I planned this get-together, it didn't dawn on me that I did not currently have neither a table, nor chairs. Nor basically any other dinner party necessities.
I also managed to burn my first attempt at the main course. Which was pasta.

Gentlemen, if you will all form an orderly line, I'll be happy to entertain all of your wife inquiries.

All of that being said, everything came together easy peezy and it was a great night with great friends.
How do you throw parties? Last minute? Take lots of time planning them? Do tell. xo
