Reese Wore Pink!!

Reese Witherspoon, who I think is hands-down the cutest thing ever, wed Jim Toth at her Ojai ranch this past Saturday - YAY!!!! While there aren't many details and absolutely no photos have been released (kudos to her people for keeping it so quiet and intimate), we do know a few things :o)

Reese choose to mix things up a bit by wearing a custom-designed PINK Monique Lhuillier gown and Jimmy Choo's "Macy" satin platform sandal.. Celeb Wedding Planner Yifat Oren designed the day, which included lanterns, chandeliers hanging from trees, antique furniture, mason jars full of flowers and moss-covered pots full of lavender. It all sounds so heavenly!!

Based on Monique Lhullier's Fall 2011 Collection (which is gorgeous by the way!) and Carrie Underwood's custom-designed Lhullier Gown for her 2010 wedding (photo below from RSV Parties, Inc.). . . I envision Reese's frock was full of texture, whether it be feathers or lace, and was sparkly enough to blind any cameras that might have been peeking!!

Our Wedding Party Picks

I can officially say we have a wedding party now :-)

I guess I was lucky enough to see all six of my bridesmaids in the same weekend to ask them to be part of our big day. Where as Eric had the opportunity to ask four of his face to face and as much as he didn't want to resort to the phone, he had to, to ask two of his groomsmen.

Bridesmaids (as you all should already know since I blogged about it--ha)
Matron of Honor- Amanda (my sister)
Maid of Honor- Sarah (the girl next door)
Bridesmaids- Rachelle (my cousin)
Nicky (my cousin)
Brittany (my friend)
Ashley (my friend)

Groomsmen (which I'm not sure if anyone knows these yet--ha)
Best Man- Tyler (groom's friend)
Groomsmen- Kirk (Eric's brother)
Andy (my brother)
Ilario (my brother-in-law)
Paul (groom's friend)
Carl ( groom's friend)

The Ushers are still being asked currently :-)

As any bride probably knows, there are so many people that run through your mind when thinking about your wedding party, but if I would have asked everyone I had in mind, I could have had 16 bridesmaids, ha!!

baci's babies | Mya Ophelia

The third addition to our baci's babies "family" actually happens to be family!!

Miss Mya Ophelia was born to my cousins and former wedding clients, Katie and John on September 2, 2010. Katie and John remember her birth date as 90210 - LOVE IT!!! Mya was born at 7:24 pm in Dublin, Ohio weighing in at 6 pounds, 9.5 ounces and 20.5 inches long.

Katie and John recently had the über talented Kelly of Kelly Van Horn Photography (don't you just love her baci-designed logo?!?!? YAY!) take photos of Miss Mya and she honestly could not be cuter!!! She had me at headbands and tutus :0)

A huge thanks to Katie, John and Kelly for allowing me to feature such a beautiful little lady in such incredible photos!!


baci's baking - Artichoke Dip

I can't claim that today's recipe is good for you, but it certainly is good! Originally taken from the box our Calphalon Cookware came in, this artichoke dip is ridiculously good :o)

Handpicked - Groomsmen Gifts

Luckily I do not have to pick out these gifts because Eric will get the opportunity to do this job. However, I did come across some gifts that would be perfect for any groomsmen.....with a variety of tastes.

Guest Bedroom - My Current Wishlist

Eric has two spare rooms in his house, which I have slowly taken over to "decorate" because they had nothing in them and he is perfectly okay with that (less for him to do-ha). I have made one an office and the other a guest bedroom.

His guest bedroom is an off-green color, that I love, so black or brown can be perfect accent colors. A lot of people prefer to keep it one or the other color and I used to feel that way. However, I like to mix black and brown every once in awhile, depending on where I am putting it.
So I found some items that can be perfect in this off-green guest bedroom.


1) Sauder Lake Point Bookcase on offiemax.com, $89.99 - Simple and cute to put anything extra on like books, picture frames, and even my ipod dock.
2) Grandrich Paper Shade Table Lamp on overstock.com, $36.99 - I think it would look great sitting on either the bookcase or table. Eric doesn't have much light in the guest bedroom, so these would be perfect!
3) Keller Steel Magazine Table on overstock.com, $49.99 - My thought was to put this between the two chairs from Office Max (right below!).
4) Brenton Studio Accent Chair on officemax.com, $99.99 - Absolutely amazing! I would purchase two of these chairs though.

"Oh, the things you'll do!"

As my wedding is fast approaching , less than seven months away, I am slowly starting to see everything that needs to be done. People tell me not to get too excited because everything will get done. However, if any of you know me, I like things to go as planned, in order, and done way before they are suppose to be done.

Things I have checked off my list
- Find designer for invites and thank you notes
- Find someone to bake and decorate my cake
- Collecting ideas for centerpieces
- Asking the bridesmaids and groomsmen to be in the wedding
- Find a caterer
-Book a reception hall
- Book a church location
- Book photographer
- Purchase my perfect dress
- Begin the guest list
- Schedule rehearsal and dinner
- Decide on favors
- Create a wedding website
- Book a DJ

Things that still need to be checked off my list
- Finalize invitations
- Finalize my cake
- Finalize centerpieces
- Find bridesmaid dresses
- Meet with caterer and decide on food
- Take engagement pictures
- Finalize the guest list
- Book honeymoon
- Reserve hotels for out of town guests
- Pick out songs for the reception
- Pick out gifts for the members in my wedding (and others that have been a huge help through the process)
- Pick out programs
- Get my dress altered
- Get our marriage license

And these are only the things that I am thinking of now. I imagine there are plenty more small details to do.

So as I try not to freak out, ha, if any other brides or brides-to-be see that I am missing something, comment away and let me know :-)

Wedding Wednesday | A Little Bit of Tradition

Tradition--what does it mean? If you look it up on dictionary.com it has seven different meanings, five related forms, and five synonyms.

These were the top five:
1- handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information
2- something that is handed down
3- established or inherited way of thinking or acting
4- a continuing pattern of culture beliefs or practices
5- a customary or characteristic method or manner

If you actually read all of these :-) you will realize they all say the same thing, just in a different way. A Tradition is something that has been passed on due to a belief or method.

For weddings there are many traditional things, such as: wearing a veil, not seeing the groom before the wedding, tossing the bouquet (the lucky lady that gets it will be the next to get married), the mother of the bride helping the bride get into her dress, or the father of the bride walking the bride down the aisle. These are all things we think about when planning or even attending a wedding.

Jean helping my best friend, Ashley, get into her beautiful wedding gown.


However, there are also traditions families make. It could have started years ago at your great- grandmother's wedding or just last year at your cousin's wedding. Things such as: wearing your grandma's favorite pearl earrings, having an Uncle say the prayer before dinner, serving meatballs at your reception, or even the mother of the bride walking her daughter down the aisle.

There are probably hundreds of typical traditions when it comes to a wedding and even thousands of family traditions that have been passed down.

Come back to baci next week and find out what my family has started as tradition!!

Feel free to share your wedding traditions with baci followers, too!!

Ho, ho, Ho-liday Card Designs {Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio + Charlotte, North Carolina}

Better late than never, right? I finally got around to taking photos of the holiday cards I designed for us and our dear friends, Jess and Glenn so I thought I'd share :o)

Alaina from Ace of Images (who just happens to be one of my best friends - I'm so blessed to have such talented people in my life!) took some photos of my family in late October last year and she was kind enough to take some couples shots, too! I took three of my favorite images of Ilario and I, added a lovely photo of our Morris and had them printed by my favorite photo card vendor, WHCC, on a white linen stock. I love how they turned out - very New York & Company ;o)





Jess and Glenn asked me to create a two-sided card with this ADORABLE photo of the two of them with their new baby, Mallory. We turned the silly face Mallory made into a Far Side-ish cartoon with a cute quip Jess wrote and WAH-LAH!! - the cutest Christmas Card ever was complete!!

baci's baking -Flank Steak with Salsa Verde

This meal is my husband's absolute favorite - any time I ask him what he'd like for dinner he screams "FLANK STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE!!!". I must give proper thanks to our family friend, Bill, for this tasty recipe though since he's the one that gave it to us :o)

Flank Steak with Salsa Verde

2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 T. capers, drained
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
2 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic, smashed
½ t. dijon mustard
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
Kosher salt
1 flank steak (about 1½ pounds)
Freshly ground pepper
2 or 3 medium tomatoes

1) Make the salsa verde: Pulse the parsley, scallions, capers, lemon zest and juice, anchovies, garlic, mustard and olive oil in a food processor until slightly chunky. Pour into a bowl and season with salt.
2) Preheat a grill to high or place a grill pan over high heat.
3) Pierce the steak all over with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
4) Oil the grill or pan; grill the steak, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
5) Slice the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the tomatoes and salsa verde.

St. Patrick's Day

Image From The Nibble

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, BLOGGERS!!!


As it seems to be a tradition with baci---we write a post about upcoming holidays. I realized food and drinks seemed to be an important factor on Saint Patrick's Day, besides wearing green :-) As we all know, kids are picky eaters (as are a lot of other people, too), so how exactly do we incorporate them in this fun holiday, especially when corned beef and cabbage is not exactly a kid's best friend. I came across this article on ehow.com on how to prepare a Saint Patrick's Day meal--from breakfast to desserts.


Fun Things to Eat on St. Patrick's Day for Kids

By Laura Wilson, eHow Contributor

updated: February 05, 2011


Let kids celebrate St. Patrick's Day with some unusual food.

Children enjoy celebrating holidays and luckily St. Patrick's Day is no longer reserved for just the Irish. All families can get in on the fun by creating fun food that centers around a St. Patrick's Day theme using the color green, leprechauns, and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

1 ) Make a Green Breakfast for Kids

On the eve before St. Patrick's Day, leprechauns often visit and leave some signs that they were there causing mischief. Use a few drops of green food coloring to color scrambled eggs or pancakes. Tint cream cheese green to top a morning bagel or "discover" the yogurt turned green overnight with the help of food coloring. Shockingly, the milk is often turned green the morning of St. Patrick's Day thanks to the antics of the little green men.

2) A St. Patrick's Day Lunch

Many children have a sandwich for lunch, which can easily be cut into a shamrock shape using a cookie cutter, according to Perpetual Preschool. To add some green to lunch, tint marshmallow fluff or cream cheese green as part of the sandwich filler. Cut up green vegetables, such as cucumbers, broccoli, or peppers, and include some green dip. Most children enjoy ranch dressing, which can easily turn green with the addition of food coloring.

3) Dinner Options for Kids on St. Patrick's Day

Dinner choices will vary depending on a family's tradition on St. Patrick's Day. Some prefer to stick to traditional Irish corned beef and cabbage. For a fun alternative, roast turkey or chicken can be accompanied by some green mashed potatoes (using food coloring). Pasta with pesto sauce will give a natural green hue. Make a fun punch using green juice and lemon-lime soda, or serve the milk the leprechauns got into earlier.

4) Colorful Desserts for Kids

Dessert is where families can get very creative. Leprechauns are known for chasing a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, so create unique rainbow desserts. According to Family Fun in "Taste a Rainbow", bakers can divide a white cake mix into six equal amounts, add food coloring to make typical rainbow colors and layer them in cupcake papers to make rainbow cupcakes. Kids will also enjoy a rainbow-layered gelatin dessert.

Make a pot of gold by creating gold coins out of lemon gelatin and using the "jigglers" recipe on the box. When firm, cut the gelatin in small circle shapes for coins.

For a green dessert, simply add drops of green food coloring to frosting for cakes or cookies or to a vanilla milkshake.

Handpicked - Wedding Day Shoes

Are shoes really important on your big day? Probably not the most important but I have heard that people pick their dress around the shoes they purchase -- crazy right, but completely true.
You obviously want shoes you can stand for hours, since you will be wearing them ALL day. However, if you can stand the pain that some shoes put you through, more power to you :-)


1) Jacqueline Ferrar® 'Fresh at JCPenney - $39.99
2) ME TOO STELLINA at Zappos - $62.00 - These shoes are cute and simple. This is a way to add a bit of color to your wedding day apparel and still be comfy at the same time.

8) Nina Shoes, Electra Dress Sandals at Macy's - $89.00 - I may be a little biased to these red shoes, but who doesn't look hot in red shoes.
9) Totes Rosalee Wedding Shoes at Modelbride, $27.00

My Kohl's Bathroom - My Current Wishlist

Eric has two bathrooms and neither one of them is huge, so when looking for items I tried to minimize what I was looking at because of the space. I think I did a wonderful job picking out four items we could use but do not take up tons of space.



1) Creative Bath® 4-Shelf Glass Tower, $89.99 - This would be something nice for when we have visitors, to sit out things for them that they can use. 2) Chaps Home Bath Towels (Brown), $13.99 - Who doesn't need more bath towels :-) 3) Avanti Linens Cobblestone Circle Shower Curtain (Green Mocha), $39.99 - I like this shower curtain because it is brown with a hint of green, which happens to be the accent color in the bathroom - perfect! 4) Creative Bath® 3-pc. Basket Set (Walnut), $29.99 - I could always use some storage for under the cupboards, in the cabinets, or beside the vanity to keep organized

baci's baking - Polish Paczki

In honor of Fat Tuesday {Hooray!} I thought I'd post a recipe for the yummy Polish Paczki! Enjoy!!

Polish Pre-Lenten Paczki
Original Recipe from Cooks.com
(Printer-friendly Link)

STEP 1 - Making the sponge:
1 cup lukewarm milk
1 cup sifted flour
2 packages dry yeast
1 T. sugar
2 T. warm water

1) Dissolve the yeast in warm water and add sugar.
2) Add the yeast mixture to the milk and flour. Cover. Let rise until double in bulk.

STEP 2 - Making the dough:
5 eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/4 lb. soft butter
1 t. rum extract
1 t. orange rind
1 1/2 T. salt
6 cup flour, sifted (or just enough to make a soft dough)

1) Take 5 eggs and add confectioners' sugar. Beat well until lemon colored.
2) Combine with the sponge and mix well.
3) Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, rum and orange rind. Then add salt and butter and mix well.
4) Add sifted flour gradually to the above mixture and knead dough until it comes away from your hand. Cover, set aside in warm place and let rise until double.
5) Flour a board lightly. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Pat dough until 1/2 inch thick. Cut doughnuts with cutter or inverted glass. Let rise until double.

STEP 3 - Frying the paczki:
1) Heat the oil to 350°F, drop doughnuts into hot oil and fry on one side until golden and puffy, then turn on the other and continue to fry until other side is golden.
2) Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Roll lightly in granulated sugar or glaze with icing.

Makes 2 dozen.

Notes: Paczki can be frozen up to 3 months. To serve, place in brown paper bag, sprinkle with water and place in warm oven until the doughnuts are hot - about 20 minutes.
The paczki can be filled with jelly; a pastry tube is used after the doughnuts are fried.

My Target Kitchen - My Current Wish List

If you have been following my posts, you know that I recently gave you my current wish list for my Target bedroom, while searching I found a new post idea....My Target Kitchen.

Eric does not have much, only the essentials in his kitchen (definitely a guy thing-ha), so I am looking forward to making a registry list and adding all my favorite kitchen items (even if I may not use them all the time, ha).

1) Lace 54-pc Stainless Steel Flatware Set with Bonus Serving Set and Caddy on Target.com, $59.99 - Eric only has enough silverware to have 4 people at the dinner table, if I grow up to be anything like my sister, I will need WAY more silverware than a 4 piece set. 2) Rachael Ray Porcelain 10-pc Cookware Set (Orange) on Target.com, $159.99 - I love Rachael Ray and you can't go wrong with a classic cookware set. I think Eric would agree with me on this one because he is not a huge fan of the cookware he has now. 3) Black & Decker 1.5 Cup Mini Food Chopper on Target.com, $12.99 - I realized when I went to my sister's, this is the most convenient thing ever. 4) Libbey Vina Red Wine Glass, Set of 4 on Target.com, $15.99 - I love wine, end of story.

baci's baking - Fancy Chicken Breasts

This recipe is my one of my absolute favorites! It isn't the easiest or quickest, but it's totally worth it - enjoy!!!

Fancy Chicken Breasts
Original Recipe from No Take Out

3 oz. soft goat cheese
4 thin slices prosciutto
1 large egg
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
4 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1) Preheat the oven to 375 ° F.
2) Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of waxed paper and pound on them gently with a rolling pin until they’re about ¼-inch thick.
3) Peel and mince 1 small garlic clove. Mix the goat cheese with the garlic and lots of black pepper.
4) Lay out the chicken breasts. Lay a slice of prosciutto on top of each (if the prosciutto hangs over the chicken, trim it). Place one-quarter of the goat cheese mixture on one end of the prosciutto. Roll up the chicken breast around the filling.
5) Set the rolled up breasts on a plate, seam-side down. They’ll stay rolled up.
6) Put the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
7) Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water in another bowl.
8) Dip each rolled chicken breast first in the egg, then in the bread crumbs. Roll it around so it’s covered in crumbs. (tip – use one hand for dipping the chicken into the egg mixture, the other for dipping into the crumbs – it’s cleaner this way!)
9) Heat 2 tbsps. oil in the heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, which will take about 7 minutes.
10) Put the chicken in the baking dish and put it in the oven for 15 minutes.
