4 th of July decor, Blondies and pie for the Monday party

I am sorry for last week and the no show of the Monday party. My baby had the croup for 1 week and half and I was in a very bad shape and didn't sleep at all so I forgot to post it. I was at the same time at a blogger conference during the day. I need to schedule my posts way earlier than what I have been doing. 4 kids is a lot of work and they also don't let me blog at all.
Hope you had a great week and that you will post twice as much! Link away what you want!
I am in love with Butterfly and Bungalo 4 th of July French decor!!! I love everything about this!!! The banner also is simple but super cute!

Twiggs studios shared her recipe for cherry almond chocolate chip blondies. The pic is amazing and I have a sweet tooth. Do I say more? And it's cherry season...

Frozen peanut banana pie anyone? I know I do!! Recipe from Bebe a la mode!

Mimi is taller than me


This week I noticed it when she was walking in the hall. She is taller than me. My first exclamation was: NO!
Then I felt happy for her. I always wanted to be taller than 5.3. I am really glad. My little girl is 14 and growing and pretty soon she will not fit my shoes and clothes. YAY!
I have 3 girls though.. I should get used to sharing my clothes. When I am not home they go through my clothes, shoes and makeup and it drives me nuts. Yes, even the 14 year old. I have some very girly girls and I love it. As long as they don't touch my stuffs.
How do you keep your girls off your things? Like seriously?

The Paris bistro: Alt summit, Tiny prints




I started the Alt summit blogger conference with a fantastic Dinner at The Paris Bistro in Salt lake city. As you know I am from Paris and I am always hesitant when I eat at a French restaurant because I have been disappointed in the past. Not here. The food was delicious and authentic. Beautifully arranged in your plate. We had a 4 meal course and it was splendid! Like at home in Paris! You will not be disappointed if you go there.

The table was styled by Aubrey of French Knot studios. She even gave me one of the pink vases with flowers to take home. She doesn't know how much it made me happy. I always have flowers in my home. I love flowers! 
Maria Fuentes from Tiny prints sponsored the dinner party.
She gave us some pretty sweet gifts. A tiny prints ipad case and Easel art made with printable designs by TomKat studio.An Essie Nail polish and a notebook. Perfect since I like to write my notes on paper. Also some pretty amazing Cookies by Sweet Kiera.

I also got to meet Briton Alo, the blogger behind Rad Mom Cool Kid. We know each other from Instagram.
More exiting events tomorrow...

Settebello pizza in Salt lake city for My birthday


I really wanted a very good pizza for my birthday. Even an authentic Italian one! My husband took me to Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana.They have their brick oven and a very calm atmosphere. Very popular with people working in Salt lake city!

 I also had a Dr Pepper. I don't drink Pop but I think it goes very well with pizza and a cheat meal.
I had the Capricciosa pizza and Russ had the Vico. So good! Have you had an authentic pizza before? And if you tell me you did in Italy. I'll be jealous! LOL

Father's day gift for the fit Dad


Last night I was looking for my husband's gift and could not find it. You see I have to hide things because I have a 2 year old who brakes and destroys things. 
This morning I finally remembered where I hid it. Where is my brain? Do you also have this problem?

Chalkboard canister with protein bars for the fit Dad

I thought this gift was perfect for an active Dad. The medium size canister already has the label on. I wrote my words in French but you can also write them in English saying "#1 Dad". You fill it up with your Dad's favorite bars. I really think it's a good idea for my husband to take it even to work since he works out at lunch time. It's very pretty don't you think?

I also made a banner for the kitchen. Papa numero 1.
I really like chalboard banners because you can erase what you write to fit the occasion. 

- Spritz Chalkboard banner from Target. 
- Chalk markers from Target.
- Canister with chalkboard label from Tai pan trading.
- Cliff Mini organic protein bars in chocolate chips and white chocolate macadamia nuts from walmart.

French inspired Sunday outfit for June

 If you read my last fitness post you will learn that I can finally fit my skirt and this is the skirt I was talking about. I really love this outfit and I like to dress up for church. A trench coat is such a good item of clothing to own. perfect for the chilly season like Spring and Fall and it does look super French. it just looks classy!



I am wearing a polka dots see thru under the trench coat.
I got a hair cut and my hair is shorter. It was nice long but very damaged.

 My makeup is on this post: Mother's day makeup. My favorite makeup for sure!

 Love those heels because they are not too high and I can still carry a 2 year old wearing them. Very classy, Vintage and French looking.

Merona Trench coat/ Merona Polka dots shirt / black chandelier earrings / Mother's Day favorite makeup / black and white Worthington skirt /  Vintage cream and black sammydress shoes / US POLO Ussn bag 

Do you like Trench coats? Do you own one?
