lil green bags. . .

i was introduced to macarons at laduree during a delightful pre-bebe jaunt to the city of lights with my best girlfriends (aka shelbys).  i was immediately smitten.  obvi.

i am love-loving the presence of these amazing treats at pretty much every fabulous party these days.  i totes see why- they come in every beautiful color to coordinate with any palette, are gorgeous to look at, and taste even better!  

here are some of my fave images of the delightful treats. . .
beginning with my best friend in the whole wide world's own images from that wonderful trip to gay paris many moons ago. . . 

these didn't last long!
we were tempted to follow this glorious cake to it's destination!
do you think we have enough lil green bags?  they must be heavy- we look tired {no way it had anything to do with how late we were up the night before. . .}



cake pops are all the rage, but somehow miss bakerella has outdone herself again with the macaron pop.  ummm, swoon much?!

head to the laduree site for more swooning {and drooling while you're at it}
read the history of the macaron to work off all the calories your consuming with your eyes.


and hey, shelbys - see you in south beach next weekend.  doh!
 lovies xoxo

i love-love hanna anderson pjs.  especially digging these skull & crossbones.  they are a go-to gift of ours.

 
two of THE best bedtime stories evah happen to be green, too.  if by some slim chance you don't own these, no matter how old you are, run don't walk to your local book store.  they are most certain to make your heart happy.



a "lucky" DIY breakfast that even I can handle

i have to admit, i'm not a big DIY gal.  
but even i can manage an adorable printable and a run to dunks for munchkins.  {and Lord knows i have quite the collection of striped straws on hand!}  so i'm thinking c & p are going to be in for a st. paddy's day treat, thanks to thoughtfully simple's - a lucky breakfast post.


they've even included a free printable here. (with a few variations to fit your needs)
lucky us!
adorbs.

frenchie friday: naptime treat

i wish i had a plate of sugar on top's delicious cookies right now. . . 
it is raining outside, the girlies are napping, and george and loo are snoozing on the chaise with me.  
i seriously heart fridays.


just got a free shipping e-mail from anthro and came across this delightful treat - it's called the obedience school cookie stand.  swoooon.
need. it. 
{but i would probably be much better off allocating my funds towards actual obedience school.  hmph.}
anyone out there owe me a wedding gift?  birthday. . .anything?

saturday smiles: rain boots!

being the impatient hot mess that i am, i simply cannot wait for saturday to share these smiles.  i was over the moon when meredith nelson asked if she could 'borrow' my girls for some shots for her new and improved website to match her awesome new blog.  
'ummmmm, hmmmmm, lemme think about that for a second. . . YES!!!'  
meredith was fabulous as ever, dealing with maniacal dogs and mischievous twinkies.  
and making all of the crawford gals' hearts VERY happy.
