I was super excited when I opened my new House Beautiful and found this recipe for Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Frosting from Ina Garten's column! So excited to try this one. Go here to get the yummy recipe!


Thank you everyone for all the amazing restaurant suggestions! We headed to Coronado to the Del for ice cream(yum!), Corvette Diner(super fun, spent too much time in the arcade :)), lots of Mexican food (my fav)!

A little San Diego Vacation...

Heading to San Diego tomorrow with the hubby and 4 year twin boys in tow....Our first airplane vacation for the whole family. I can't believe it took us this long to get up the nerve to put them on a plane. Of course we will also be bringing unseasonal cool temps with us, because we literally have the worse vacation weather karma.
I am hoping to recharge the creativity battery and get inspired in San Diego. I'll be back on the 13th to share all the lovely details!

PS. If anyone has great restaurant suggestions that would be kid friendly would love to hear them!

Cheers!

Real Soiree: Icing Designs Stella & Dot Dessert Table

Those fabulous ladies of Icing Designs (hand-illustrated and hand-glittered invitations, cards, cupcake flags and gift tags) knew I had a thing for Stella & Dot jewelry and shared this gorgeous dessert table with me. I love that ribbon backdrop and how they incorporated the "iced" jewelry flash cards. How about the glittered marshmallows and jewel topped cupcakes. Too pretty to eat! For more details on this fabulous party, check out their blog post. Thanks ladies, love, love, love it!
