Decadent Parties has a simple philosophy - EVERYONE deserves to be celebrated. And what I love about a great party is that - regardless of whether you're the one being celebrated or the one invited - everyone feels seen, valued and appreciated.

This month, as we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, let's recognize how they empower all of us to recognize the importance of being seen, valued and appreciated. Let's celebrate how their contributions to our world make life a richer place. And most importantly, let's embrace OUR opportunities of moving beyond tolerance to celebrating the beauty of differences.

Happy Pride Month! It's a joy to celebrate you!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

"You made this day a special day just by your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are."
- Mr. Fred Rogers

My happy place. 🪴

Bruno Mars video dump incoming!! Oh. My. Goodness. This concert was absolutely spectacular. Not that I’m surprised. Bruno is one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. 😍

But wait - there’s more! Anderson .Paak joined the tour, and we also got a @silksonic performance ❤️ Every single song was sooo awesome. It was like a concert in a concert! AND - it opened with a video of @bootsy_collins from the Silk Sonic album. You have not lived until you’ve seen Bootsy 3 stories tall - groovy, baby!! 🤩🤩🤩

I could see @brunomars on every tour stop and would love it every time! If you get the chance - buy the tickets! 🎫

ICYMI - this is the PERFECT weekend to plant that cocktail garden! I 💚 having fresh herbs on-hand for plenty of fragrant cocktails and delicious appetizers. They also dress up any board or cheese tray. These are my favorites - beautiful on a patio or balcony! 🌱🪴

Imagine my surprise when I went to turn on the faucet!

Looks like she’s back, but this is a much better situation. Much earlier in the year vs. last year, she’s out of the sun, and she’s not wrecking my flowers. 🌺 She made that whole nest late this afternoon/ incredible! And Matthew already has a camera on her so this should be fun to watch. 🦆

Wait ‘til she finds out we don’t have an ice maker. 😉
