Cupcake Queen

Yesterday I picked up my Mommy-in-Law, Maria and we went to lunch at Thai Eagle Rox. She had never tried Thai food before so I ordered chicken pad thai for her. She was so enthralled with Liv she barely ate but she assured me she liked it.

I hadn't had Thai in ages, so yummy! So we hung out at my house until Antz came home and I showed her my cupcake books.

I really want to start practicing some of the designs in the books. I also want to make more cookies *like our christening ones*

I have to call Les to find out where she bought her fondant. Before I can create yumminess, I need supplies

Compliments of Goddess Martha. Antz Mom is onboard with helping me become a Cupcake Queen. Antz is home early today *yay Summer Fridays* and he's making lunch for us. My angel is playing on her mat and cooing up a storm *so in love*

Then I need to run errands and possibly pick up a new bathing suit for swimming at Keith's tomorrow.

Cuteness overload

Tonight we took Liv's 8 weeks...

Fun times are fun!!

Today I met my Mommy friend Jennifer *and baby Charlotte* and her friend Melina *and baby Noah* in Montrose. We met at Bellies baby store then walked a little and had lunch at Black Cow Cafe. I had the yummiest blue cheese Angus burger and fries. We hung out for 2 hours talking about Mommy things. Sadly I didn't take any pics :( Olivia was wonderful, she fussed a little but I was smarty pants and I had a bottle ready for her. Now we are back home and she is enjoying her playmat and talking loudly *squealing and laughing* I need to upload some new Tom Waits songs on my iphone. Speaking of iphones, I called Best Buy yesterday and they are saying that the iphone in white may not be available until the END OF THE YEAR!!

The plan was to get them from Best Buy as anniversary presents to each other but I have called everyday and the black iphone is sold out. I did find this rad onesie today that I need to get for Liv

Liv's a Supermodel

Our gorgeous 7 weeker has had more pictures taken than most people have taken in their entire lifetime. I can't help but get camera-hyper with her *Antz calls me Mommerazzi*. My Mom took tons of photos of me growing up but my Antz hardly has a handful of photos of himself in his younger days. I am hoping one day Olivia will appreciate us documenting her life as best we could. Last Wednesday I was on my own taking her weekly so I didn't get that many poses. Here are the top 3:

As many photos as we have taken, I feel like they are pretty blah. I really want to showcase Liv's personality, it's difficult catching her glowing smile with the camera. I have always liked the commerical for the Amazon Kindle



This incredible blog has the same concept for her daughter. I love the idea of being able to pose Liv while she sleeps *so she is less fussy*









 

Now I need to visit the fabric store and put together our own masterpieces.
On another subject, we received *the much anticipated* invitation to Keith & Tina's house for swimming and BBQ this Saturday. I am excited to teach Liv how to swim and Liv will meet Tina and our friend Maeve for the first time.

Weekend o' Birthdays

Last weekend was my Mommy's and my BFF, Aimee's birthdays. We decided at the last minute to go to my Mom's house in Apple Valley. It was fun, we picked up *the yummest* steak and shrimp from Applebees and I got my yummy blue coconut slush from Sonic. We got in the spa with Liv and she slept while floating in her starfish. We came back to LA on Sunday to drop off Aimee's painting. We dressed Liv in her in the onesie Aimee bought her that says Mommy is Queen. I didn't think it would fit because it's 3-6 months but it looked great on her.

I LOVE how punk rock she looks!!

We luckily found parking on her street *despite crazy Venice Beach crowds* so we hung out at her house for a while. Believe it or not, she didn't like the painting!!

Boo!
Oh well, she wants this version of the Virgin Mary so Antz will paint it for her.

I am so excited because I found the scarves I was looking for from Target.

I also got one in white and I didn't have to plunk down the $98 Nordstrom price tag. I am still searching for the perfect cardigan. While at Target I picked up these adorable books.

These make me want to bake like a madwoman. I have so many cupcake designs I want to experiment with but I definitely need to get new muffin tins and Goddess Martha baking tools. Speaking of Mad, I need to watch the new episode of Mad Men *yay*
