cherry blossom first birthday




Lots of cute details in this asian-inspired 'cherry blossom' first birthday from life frosting. Check out the 'sushi'- all made of candy and sweet things (rice crispy treats, swedish fish, fruit rope, etc). Mom Chelsea went to extraordinary lengths to get all the details just right- including a cherry blossom adorned shirt. Check it out right here.

I'm feeling like a bit of a party pooper this evening. My 'big gift' for the holiday was a couple of evenings with a night nurse who would take our sweet but colicky baby for 8 hours while I blissfully slept through the night. I had everything prepared and my Ambien in hand when she knocked on the door to say she couldn't stay- she felt like she was coming down with the flu. Such a bummer!

Alas- back to work and the night shift. In the meantime, I am procrastinating by perusing yet another beautiful French blog. Check out all of the gorgeous images right here (and if your high school French is better then mine, you just might be able to try out the recipes at home).
