A Lovely day sashaying through Minneapolis

For my dad's birthday and father's day we thought it would be fun to do Taste Twin Cities food and drink tour.  What a fun thing to do, I would definitely recommend the tour!  Walking the city, learning a little bit of history while stopping at the cities most favorite restaurants and pubs for food and beer.

We met at Gold Medal Park

 Minneapolis Riverwalk Tour- Mill District and St. Anthony on Main in Northeast Minneapolis.

 Our first stop was Sawatdee-- Minnesota's first Thai restaurant

 The old spaghetti factory... Unique mouth watering pasta with an amazing atmosphere.
We also stopped at Tugg's Tavern for cheese curds and pork slidders and Pracna for beer tasting

 And to end the tour...gelato that was so unique... bloody mary flavor, salt and olive oil? I stuck with the chocolate chocolate!

Come early or late, whatever the date, my gift to the little ones... a special baby crate

As many of you already know... I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE being creative and crafty. I was very excited when I was able to create these baby crates for some great friends. They turned out so cute!

Last year my friend Diane had a sweet baby girl Natalie

The handmade card to go along with the baby crate.

 Jennifer is a soon to be mommy in a couple months

I was so excited when I got a text from the girls showing how they used their baby crates

Oh Baby!!!!

I was very lucky to be a part of a great friends baby shower this past week. It was great to catch up with former co workers over cocktails and enjoy the beautiful weather together.

Congratulations Jennifer with your new expected bundle of joy!! We all wish you all the best over the next few months with your pregnancy and we hope you're both blessed with a happy and health new baby

Wacky Fun and Uncontrollable Laughter

June is a birthday month for many in our family, so what better way to celebrate than with hibachi, sushi, drinks and a group of my favorite people.

Some serious Saki action going on here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, MELISSA, JASON AND DEVIN!!
