Tea time update: Such a beautiful weekend here in Des Moines and it was spent with family celebrating MOMS!

Mother’s Day Tea at Terrace Hill

Branstad family brunch

Haas family BBQ

Here is what we ended up getting my mom:

And this is what we got my mother-in-law:

The Cheese Shop Des Moines gift card,
Cooking with Alessandra gift certificate good for a cooking class

It’s a pretty low-key week ahead for me, but I am really looking forward to the weekend. A Haas/Branstad girls night out dinner at El Patio (hello margaritas!) on Friday followed by a Driscoll wedding event on Saturday. We’ll top things off with Mackenzie’s dance recital on Sunday afternoon. Whew, I’m tired just listing all of that!

On my to-do list for the week: cutting peonies to bring inside, catching up on shows, some light reading and spending some time outdoors.
