Mingling with Food from the Heart

Guaguita from the Heart was everyones favorite!

Guaguita from the Heart was everyones favorite!

Hi!!! here are some more details about my book launch!! (yes, sorry I haven't been able to get over with it!! We had some much fun!!). We did everything ourselves! From garlands made from samples of the book pages, chalk boards, flower arrangements to frames with book quotes and goodie baskets to take home!! And of course our signature Banana Bread bites (entirely baked by  #cheflaurencita + baby J). I think this made the event even more special, there was a lot of love in every detail just like in my book! My heart was so happy for all the support and love received by everyone who attended (and also from those who couldn't make it!). Thank you for believing in me and for supporting this crazy idea that started 2 years ago as a vague project. Today I can say I'm Lauren Arboleda a proud mom, wife, home cook, mompreneur, self publisher, author, and real food Lover!  (OMG what a mouthful!! YAY!!).
