Move over winter - it is finally Spring!

This Peter Rabbit-inspired Easter shoot was a beautiful celebration of springtime elegance and charm. The creative vision behind it all came from the sweetest, Soiree by Ria, who thoughtfully brought together an incredible team to design a setting that felt both timeless and playful. Light blue, ivory, and natural wood tones created a soft, welcoming palette that let each detail shine, including some from yours truly. Every sweet moment was captured by Camila Margotta Photo, from the whimsical desserts styled by Bake Haus SD to the lush, romantic florals by Priscilla Arce Florals. This party would be so cute for a holiday gathering, a first birthday, or even a baby shower.

Working with Soiree by Ria is always such a joy. Her creativity and thoughtful attention to detail make every project feel like something truly special.

We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with her a few times now, and each time feels like creating magic with a friend. She has that rare gift of seeing the big picture while making space for every small detail to shine.

The florals were pure spring magic. The soft whites, creamy layers, and the most delicate touches of blue that tied everything together perfectly. Priscilla Arce has such a gift for making floral arrangements feel both fresh and timeless. Nestled in each place setting were our engraved wooden egg place cards, and I have to say, they always bring such a sweet and personal moment to the table. Seeing our work styled in this way always makes my heart skip a little beat.

The dessert table, lovingly styled and baked by Bake Haus, was a total dream. A soft blue and white cake stole the show with delicate fondant ribbon bows wrapped around each tier. Surrounding it were rows of pretty pastel macarons, dainty little pastries, and cookies displayed on elegant tiers. Our engraved bunny cake topper added the sweetest finishing touch to this picture-perfect spread.

Fiesta Events brought the sweetest springtime charm to the party with their gorgeous wooden tables and wishbone chairs—so simple, so elegant, and so perfect for the season. Their white wooden bar made the dessert display feel extra special. Behind it all, Motion Laser Design created a custom backdrop that stole the show with its mix of classic blue gingham and a soft, toile-inspired print. We added our engraved Hoppy Easter sign to the top to bring the whole scene together.

Camila Margotta Photo made this Peter Rabbit dream come to life in the most magical way. Her talent for capturing softness, movement, and story is unmatched. Every detail, from the eggs to the blooms to the bows, was seen through her lens with such care and creativity. We’re always so grateful to work with creatives who bring soul to their craft, and Camila does exactly that.

To add a little whimsy to the drinks, we designed engraved bunny stir sticks featuring the same elegant toile print as the backdrop. It's those thoughtful touches that make an event feel extra special—and these might just be our favorite detail of the day.

There’s something really special about coming together with other creatives to bring a shared vision to life. Styled shoots like this aren’t just about pretty details—they’re about connection, community, and showing up for one another. As small business owners, we know the challenges of doing this work in today’s world, and collaborating with others who truly get it is both grounding and energizing. It’s a reminder that we’re not doing this alone.

I’m trying something new: book reviews!

Watching my older daughter fall in love with reading has been such a wake-up call for me. This year, I’m making reading a priority, and I’m being super intentional about the books I choose. With everything going on in the world, I wanted stories that inspire, educate, and maybe even give me a little hope.

First up: The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History by Sharon McMahon. If you haven’t heard of Sharon, let me just say…I’m a total fangirl. Her insights into politics, government, and history are not only eye-opening but also incredibly hopeful. And to be real, back in January, I needed that hope more than ever.

This book is a reminder that even the smallest actions can create big change. It’s exactly the kind of read I needed to kick off my year.

In The Small and the Mighty, Sharon McMahon (aka America’s Government Teacher) introduces us to the ordinary people who truly shaped America, individuals who never made it into textbooks but whose stories are nothing short of extraordinary. It’s about the everyday people who pursued justice, freedom, and change in ways both big and small.

Reading The Small and the Mighty feels like sitting down with a wise, witty friend who reminds you that history isn’t just about the famous names we memorized in school, it’s about the everyday heroes who quietly changed the world. Sharon McMahon, with her sharp research and gift for storytelling, introduces us to a cast of unsung champions: teachers, suffragists, formerly enslaved individuals, and dreamers who fought for justice, freedom, and hope. This book isn’t just a history lesson; it’s a call to action, a reminder that ordinary people (people like you and me) have always been the ones to shape our nation’s future. It’s inspiring, empowering, and, honestly, the kind of read that makes you want to be better. If you’re looking for a book that restores your faith in humanity, this is it.

You can purchase this book here and you can follow Sharon on Instagram here.

I highly recommend both!

Valentine’s Day is all about spreading love, but let’s be real—when you’re juggling school parties, class lists, and last-minute prep, it can feel more like a mission impossible than a celebration.

These ended up being a huge hit with Evelyn’s class. When I came to pick her up from school that day, we saw several of the kiddos wearing their masks already!
I sized these printables so that the mask will fit perfectly around them and I secured the back of them with a piece of washi tape on the back.
I ordered these masks from Amazon here, and luckily for me, it arrived next day.

This week in Hazel’s class, they are learning about kindness and friendship. We know how much effort goes into making Valentine’s Day special for your kids, and we’re here to help you shine.
