Things I Love This Week

I know you are busy with your families so I am going to keep things short and sweet this week. I hope you are doing something that makes you happy. For a long time Mother’s Day was a hard holiday for me. I think I felt like I didn’t measure up and it felt like a lot of pressure. But as I’ve gotten old I’ve learned to embrace me and seeing how great my kids are turning out makes me so happy. I am not saying I’ve been a perfect mother, not at all, I have made so many mistakes but I’ve grown and learned from them and I know I am a work in progress. I just wanted to let you know that not everything you see in the blog world or on Instagram is perfect all the time!

New Projects

I’m still working on our backyard patio and pergola and it is looking so cute!!! We are having our mother’s day brunch out there tomorrow and it was so fun to decorate it this week! If you scroll down to the ideas I share at the end you can see the hanging garden that I created last year. I mirrored that same idea on the back part of our backyard where the pergola is and I love how it turned out! I’ll be sharing an Instagram reel video sharing how easy it is to do this week!

I also wanted to share how adorable my daughter looked tonight as she headed to prom. Fun fact, we found her dress for .50 at the Goodwill Bins!!

This week I shared some yummy brunch ideas! I joined some friends who shared their favorite brunch tablescapes, party gifts, centerpieces and more!

I love throwing a beautiful weekend brunch al fresco. So I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite brunch recipes!

light and fluffy green chili egg casserole

Green Chili Cheesy Egg Casserole

This is the casserole I’m making in the morning for our Sunday Brunch. It’s actually the recipe my mom made when I was growing up and it would always be a special day when she made it. I also love that it is vegetarian which is perfect for my daughter.
