OMG I have just fallen in love with hostesswiththemostess.com.

Hair secrets 1 and 2

Hair Secret #1: I thought I would share one of my fav beauty products- for those of you who aren't already in the know, you must check out Morrocan Oil. This stuff rocks. I have uber curly hair and I am one of those fanatics that like to spend a minimum of 30 min trying to get it straight. Well curly haired girls have trouble in that department. Even though we can get our hair "straight" we still fight with our fair share of frizz. Plus, my hair has a course texture, but when I use this stuff I barely need any product- and I barely need to use much of this oil- It makes my hair baby fine and silky, like its (um naturally straight! shhhhh). So if you haven't already checked it out I encourage you to do some investigating. Trust me on this one, you won't be disappointed.

Hair Secret #2: If you dooo want curls or waves depending on your hair I implore you try Frederic Fekkai's beach waves. This stuff is awwwwesome. It will give you that "oh nothing, I just left the beach" look. Keeps the curls perfectly together and not to frizzy not too tight- just totally lived in, totally beach. Ahhh love it.

1st day of school!

Tuesday was Penelope's first day of school! We went to Infant Times 1 over at the Wake Center. The class teaches songs, sign language, baby massage etc. There were a ton of babies and mommies there. It was really fun.

Christina and Layla (Layla and Penelope have the same birthday!)

The MacNaughton Family- Kate, Grant and baby Sam

All that learning can be exhausting!

Stellas

One of my favorite restaurants in town has always been the lovely Stella Mare's and I most recently was able to indulge with my even lovlier friend Kelly to celebrate her birthday. P and I all got all dolled up and took Kelly out for a fab lunch.

solids?

Penelope turned 5 months this past week so we celebrated with a little rice cereal... of course I think she prefers bacon but at this point this is all she's getting. Sorry kid!

A WINTRY BBQ

We had a few incredibly warm days the other week and when we do I always get inspired to have a beachside bbq. Of course the day we actually have one its bitter cold and windy, but hey we made the most of it (check out James's lovely scarf).

Easter was a fantastic day. It started out with Sunday service in the courthouse sunken gardens here in SB. After we went to Alice Keck park for a nice relaxing picnic by the pond and a little bocci ball. Enjoy the pics!
