Napa Cafe Seared Duck Breast

In a word: overrated

We were invited here by some of our good friends.  I had never been to Napa Cafe, so I was excited to try something new.  

I googled Napa Cafe to see if it had anything on the 100 Things to Eat in Memphis list.  

Something came up on the search results, but I couldn't find it on the actual list.  I went with the search results, which said to try the duck breast. 

It was just okay.  Nothing special.  

And this place was EXPENSIVE.  I think our bill was $120.  

Anyway, come to find out, someone had suggested the duck breast in the comments section of the blog.  This is why it was coming up on search results.

So, not very impressed with this restaurant.  

The company was good though!

Too pretty not to share...

I'm obsessed with The Fresh 20. Michael and I are eating healthier than ever. Tonight's meal was just downright pretty. Tilapia covered in pineapple, bell pepper, onion, tomato.

Blessed

I look at this little piece of perfection and I'm amazed.   

I can't look away.

How did I get so lucky, so blessed to be made the mother of this little one?

Sometimes the love I feel takes my breath away. 

I hope she always knows exactly how much I treasure her. 

Presley: 3rd Month

Yeah, I'm behind, but the "picture a day" goal is still there.  

Here is Presley's third month!

Presley's Nursery

I don't think I ever posted a blog with pictures of Presley's completed nursery.  

Here you go!

This hung on our hospital room door.  It says "It's a girl!" 

She's been in the crib at night since the beginning.  There have been a few  exceptions.

We have a 2 bedroom house, so the nursery has a guest bed too. 

Mom got us this picture frame at Mistletoe Merchants.
The colors coordinate beautifully with the nursery.

Changing table is in the bathroom.  Our guest bathroom is huge.
Behind the curtain is a little storage area.  

My friend Catherine gave us that bookshelf, which we sooooo needed.
We try to read to Presley every day. 

Family pic that has not yet been hung sits on top of Presley's chest of drawers. 

One of our wedding pictures hangs above her chest of drawers.  

That hawk is very special.  My uncle and his sweet girlfriend gave it to us for Christmas.
Since my grandfather passed away, he seems to show up during certain special times as a hawk.
This hawk watches over Presley at night. 

Presley's first babysitter, Fran, made this beautiful growth chart for us.  I can't wait to start using it!
