The Weekend View this week is all about family fun, flowers and all things blooming beauty.
Between my new book blooming and the blooming bouquets and all the plants in the garden in bloom- all the pretty blooms are on repeat over here for the month of May.
Blooming Cakes
A sneak peek from my new book IN BLOOM- this Juliet garden rose topped cake is an absolute favorite. Such a pretty look for spring gatherings and so easy to put together. Stay tuned for a post on creating a cake that is as pretty as it is delicious.
Family Fun
If you follow along on Instagram, you probably saw my stories from this week of some family fun. We were babysitting some of the grands and took them to the park to play. I have been wearing little Jio in a front pack when we go to the park which has an added bonus of being a weighted walk workout while Juliette and Jionni like walking with Papa.
Moment of Beauty- Bridal Spirea
This is my moment of magic this week- this is a beautiful blooming beauty moment that stops you in your tracks when walking past. Our bridal spirea is in bloom currently and it is a stunner spilling over and through the picket fence. I wish that it bloomed longer but it is so lovely when it does either way. You can also see the sweet peas starting to climb up from below as well. Excited for all the blooms!

Projects Coming Up
We are working on some projects in the house and the yard coming up the next few weeks. And at the same time, I am notching off some work photo shoot projects as well. I will share more about those as we get to work on them.
Back Cover of In Bloom
A favorite shoot from my In Bloom book was the cottage kitchen with a bouquet of foxgloves, peonies, dahlias and more from the garden. I absolutely loved how this one turned out, I actually favorited it for the front cover possibilities and was thrilled it was chosen for the back cover. Did you know that Preorders are So Important to the success of a book – I absolutely appreciate every single one! You can Pre-Order your copy of IN BLOOM here and stay tuned for some behind the book sneak peeks coming in the next couple of weeks.
A few favorites this week- this post about 10 simple craft projects, these Mother’s Day brunch ideas and these darling blue and white pillows. Stay tuned for a bit of blue and white inspiration coming your way.
I do love flowers, you present them so well.
Your Bridal Spirea is just beautiful! Your gardens outside are so pretty! Always love seeing your pictures — and are really looking forward to getting your beautiful book.
Courtney, I just ordered 2 of those lovely blue and white pillows! They will look so lovely on our sofa! Thanks for sharing! I’m a blue and white gal!
