| Tea sampling and sangria tasting in Downtown L.A. |
Patrick and I live in an apartment that harks back to his bachelor days: fully-stocked bar and cabinet humidor in the living room, a regulation size pool table where the baby’s nursery ought to be…
 |
| Our bar fully decked-out for our 'The Little Prince" baby shower. |
...the very activities that ecapsulate 95% percent of how we spend our leisure time.
 |
| Bar drinks and a game of pool, guaranteed a good time. |
Of course we always have the in-house rave parties...
 |
| Psychedelic night in the Hollywood Hills. |
...theme night soirees, afternoon cocktail hours...
 |
| Black and white party on left, 60s family birthday party on right. |
And then there is a part of us that is very “fine living.” We fancy the exotic teas and elixirs…
 |
| My mom, ever the tea connoisseur, shares some of her prized collection with us one afternoon. |
Weekenders at sprawling estates…
 |
| Destination Napa Valley! |
 |
| Easy outdoor living in the summer twilight. |
And, when isn't there an excuse to throw a shmancy dinner party?
 |
| Sharing appetizers with famous friends. |
Here I am proving that I can be every bit of the domestic goddess that, say, Nigella Lawson is...
 |
| Working on my Springtime garden cupcakes just for fun. Note the snail that came back with us all the way from Mexico! |
If we feel up for it, good shopping is always a skip and a hop from our place...
 |
| At the Americana shopping center in Glendale. |
But mostly, we are the usual suspects at every respectable happy hour in town...
 |
| Counter-clockwise from the upper left: My sister Carly, Patrick, Carly with friends, and The Berry Patch. |
And true to the prototype L.A. lifestyle, we gotta keep doing the beach and snow...both in one day!
 |
| Venice Beach and Big Bear. |
