To the madres

I’m back home in the Bay Area after yesterday’s Napa wedding.  What a gorgeous and fun time!

It was like a college reunion (slash fraternity/sorority event).  The only difference is that everyone is married or engaged now.  It was kinda silly actually – there were 10 engaged couples at the wedding!  Can you believe it?  Wedding season much?  Of the 250 guests, 50 of us were from UCLA (99% of which were in the same frat and same sorority as the bride and groom).  It was cute.

Congrats guys!

Kyle and I managed to take a photo of ourselves too (as the perpetual photog I always seem to leave events with pictures of everyone and everything but myself).  

In spite of the open bar, my head wasn’t even throbbing the next day.  Go me!  I did need Starbucks though. Obviously.

FYI, if you all want to read about some awesome Greek yogurt combos check out the comments section of my Stonyfield giveaway post.  I especially love the savory recipes and the ones using peanut flour.  Yum!   

The winner, by the way, is Claire of Live & Love to Eat who suggested using “Greek yogurt as a topping on homemade apple or peach cobbler!”   I like it 🙂

Send me your email address asap so I can make sure your goodies get sent out before I leave the country.

And now I’d like to take the opportunity to say happy mother’s day to all the moms reading.

I can’t wait to tell my mom how much I love her in person (tomorrow!!).

I can’t imagine growing up without her love and support, and for that I feel truly blessed.

Thank you mom for being behind me every step I take.
