Friday Favorites 12/9

I haven't shared a Friday Favorites in a few weeks so I have some catching up to do.

I have a mother-daughter shopping/ relaxation trip this weekend in the city and I'm super excited.  I hope everyone has a blessed weekend.  Here is what's been going on over here the past few weeks.

When a columnist from the Fresno Bee recently contacted me for an interview for Neighbors I was very honored.  I was so excited to see the article this week.  I love sharing my passions with others and connecting with people from all over so to see my love get recognized is very humbling.

I have so many things to be thankful for but my family is at the very top of that list.  These pictures were taken on Thanksgiving.

It's always our tradition to decorate for Christmas the day or weekend after Thanksgiving.  One of our traditions is Emily putting the star on the tree.  Next year I'm sure there will be a bit of a fight for this job.

I was scrolling through IG and saw some familiar faces on Dave & Buster's feed.

I love seeing when companies that I work with share my posts. 

I was recently installed as the Fresno Association of Realtor's MLS Chair for 2017.  It was a beautiful luncheon at Copper River and I had the honor of sitting next to Assemblyman Jim Patterson.  I've met him briefly before in Sacramento but it was such a pleasure spending lunch with him.  I have much respect for him and he was extremely humble and personable.

I have the best mama who congratulated me a bottle of my fave champagne.  The icing on the cake was the cooler case that keeps the bottle chilled for two hours.

I kicked off the holiday parties with one of my all time favorites.  My dear friend Pat of Beauty and the Brawn hosts the best parties.   Everything is such perfection and her home is better than you've seen in most magazines.  I suppose I was on stimulation and fun overload so I took no photos:(

Friends of ours invited us to watch the Clovis Christmas parade with them and the girls loved it.  Emily even made the Fresno Bee!

My second party of the season is an annual one hosted by my friend Christina of The Patricio's and is always lots of fun.  It was also a Favorite Things party but also a few other games made the night extra fun.
