Thank God For Sweet Paul...
... and his yummy recipe for spaghetti carbonara, which ended up being today's quick and yummy dinner. I HEART his food - and almost even more so his styling, so fab.
Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves 4
6 ounces bacon, sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 pound spaghetti
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
1 cup cream
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup peas, fresh or frozen, blanched
In a small pan, fry bacon and garlic until bacon is golden; set aside.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente, according to package instructions; for the last minute, add the carrots.
Drain and return to pot.
Add cream and egg yolk; heat gently.
Add bacon, Parmesan and peas.
Tuck in. YUM!

Just To Round Off...
... a day filled with love and joy and celebration. I think many, like me, are still on a high after witnessing such a magical event unfold. Happy ever after, Will and Kate!
And with this beautiful quote, which was part of the prayers said for the newlywed couple, I'll say good night.
"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.'" St. Catherine of Siena. Beautiful.

My Very Own Little Princess...
Wedding Day!
Like most of the world I am at this moment glued to a big screen, watching as glamourista after glamourista make their way into Westminster Abbey. Carol Middelton just walked down the very aisle her daughter will be walking down in just a few moments, and love and anticipation and party and joy seems to be in the air all over London. What a day. What a celebration and what a moment!
What will Kate wear is everybody's mind. Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen was spotted sneaking into the Goring Hotel, where Kate and her family stayed last night, so maybe the cat is out of the bag. And if that is the case; what a choice. What a milestone for British fashion. What an on-trend bride. AMAZING!
Happy happy wedding day, Will & Kate!

Trendy Travel Tot
Little Mason Dash Disick looked cooler than cool when snapped in LAX airport en route to Australia with his family. Mum Kourtney and auntie Kim were both spotted toting the 1-year old, who looked dapper in his striped breton top. Baby daddy Scott Disick and super-mam/manager/Kardashian matriarch Kim were also there.
It looks like being around cute Mason may have made Kim somewhat broody as well, stating in an interview lately:
"When the time is right I would love to be a mother. Not anytime soon. But I never know what the future holds." Nwahh!

(Royal) Love Is In The Air...
.... even here in Ireland. The upcoming nuptials tomorrow between Will and Kate have everyone - including myself - in a bit of a wedding frenzy. So come tomorrow, this mama will be headed into a posh Dublin hotel to watch the whole extravaganza on big screen - with a few glasses of bubbly to go with it!

Today's Yummy Mummy Style Crush
Almost-birthday-girl Jessica Alba, who turns 30 tomorrow, spent the day around town in L.A. yesterday. The yummy mama was seen dropping her adorable little Honor off to pre-school before she headed for some shopping and a manicure at Barney's - as every pregnant mama should!
The movie star, who is expecting her second child with husband Cash Warren later this summer, took to her Twitter page to talk about her upcoming birthday:
"My birthday is on Thursday 4/28... please don't make me turn 30 before I actually turn 30 lol."
Sure 30 is only amazing, Jess! Welcome to a fab decade!

Now That's How It Should Be Done
With spring in the air, baby-fever raging and swollen tummies everywhere, there are a lot of expectant mothers trying to figure out how to dress for their new shape. And while I argue summer dressing is easier than winter dressing when it comes to cladding bump, some might disagree and struggle to find warm weather friendly maternity looks that work for them.
Well, look no further. As always, the ever stunning Jessica Alba come through trumps in a hands down AMAZING maternity summer look. The yummy mummy, 29, who is expecting her second child with husband Cash Warren later this summer, unleashed the best maternity outfit of the year on a shopping trip in LA yesterday.
And what can I say; the dress, the waistcoat, the flowing hair. You nailed it , Jess! Mamas everywhere; take fashion notes ASAP!
