Lately random friends and family members of mine have been telling me they read my blog regularly. This makes me smile because sometimes I forget that people know I blog here. So to those of you who read this and have wondered where I have been this last week, here you go. I have been launching part of a new project called fêtette. We will have a store in early 2012, but for now have launched the blog/social aspect. I made a super fun Thanksgiving Birthday Brunch (turkey cupcakes, anyone?) to kick us off.
If you are looking at livelaughlovenyc directly, hover on the edge of the photo above and click the left or right arrows. You’ll see a lot more deliciousness. Please check it out when you can! xo

My “Almost 13” year old sister has been staying in the city with Ryan and me. She has an iPod Touch (her gadget collection beats mine considerably) and has been taking kick ass instagram photos. I’m in love with them.
