This weekend has been packed. Yesterday I made a baby shower cake for a friends shower that I attended in the afternoon. Today we spent the morning with Jackson’s school at a local farm for the end of the year party. They served a traditional Swiss brunch. This evening we had a potluck at church! Our last weeks in Switzerland have been so full of fun times with friends making memories that we will for sure not forget.

Baby Shower

The cake looks grey in this lighting but I promise it was pale purple. I made a cream cheese icing and I guess because it was so hot outside it was super thin. Instead of piping on decorations like I had planned I had to find a plan B quickly because the icing was just running off. So it looked artsier than I had planned but tasted good and the makeshift clothes line looked cute in the end! The shower was beautifully done by my friends, Karen and Merve. They decorated with lots of flowers and purple decor and had a beautiful spread of fruits, veggies, cookies, etc.  The favors were little flower pots with seeds displayed on a cupcake stand. Such a cute idea. Beautiful job, ladies!

Summer lovelies

It’s Friday in our neck of the woods…some of you are still fast asleep but it’s definitely day time here!   We have had a packed week with what feels like a dozen play/coffee dates and lots of chipping away at the cleaning of the house before move out.  We have a busy weekend ahead and then next week we pack suitcases, clean the house, hand over the keys and head to temp housing until we fly out a week from Monday. Follow that? Me either. Just learning to roll with it. My roll isn’t so smooth though.   Here are some happy summer pictures to leave you with this Friday!
