Today I’m over on Lonny chatting about my favorite Saturday afternoon activity… picnicking of course! For our picnics we usually run to the local gourmet grocer and pick up some prepared salads, sandwiches, and all the accoutrements for a tasty cheese board, toss them in a basket, find a patch of grass, and enjoy. Although […]

There is nothing like squeezing out the last days of summer with a picnic in your own backyard and while I am still in our lovey dovey Anniversary mode, I thought it would be fun to create an intimate picnic for two. Just the ticket for a date night in or to celebrate something special. […]

When our picnic baskets and serving boards get into the hands of the 100 layer cake ladies you know it’s going to be good, especially when Annie McElwain is behind the camera.

Happy Labor Day! We took off to the cabin for the holiday and are enjoying the long weekend with beach picnics, long walks, night swimming, bon fires, stand up paddle boarding, and a few naps in the sun. Things have been non-stop in LA so it was great to get away and revel in some […]

Two weeks ago today I launched my line of American made goodies, A Sunny Afternoon. To celebrate its debut, I grabbed a bunch of friends and hit the park for a picnic fit for the occasion. It was my first chance to be able to use all of my products for a party and I’d […]
For the holiday weekend Rupert and I took an impromptu trip to Palm Springs. We have both been working a lot of long days lately so a little getaway was just what we needed. We packed up our car, hit the road and landed at the Parker for a weekend full of sun, loads of […]
