Mother is officially three! To celebrate our latest milestone, we invited 100 of our favorite Bay Area mamas for a way-above-average hump day afternoon at one of the most magical places in all of wine country—Scribe Winery. The day’s agenda? Casual socialization and max relaxation, while taking in the stunning grounds and Scribe’s newly renovated and unbelievably beautiful Hacienda.
Between catching up with old friends and making new ones, guests sipped on Scribe‘s Estate Riesling, Estate Pinot Noir, and Can Can juices and nut milks, nibbled on a savory spread courtesy of Good Eggs and Tomales Farmstead Creamery, and a delectable dessert lineup from Miss Jones Baking Co.
The day was made extra beautiful with lush floral arrangements (including on top of our tiered “birthday” cake) by new mama Natalie Bowen and table styling by Mother favorite Kendra Smoot. A bevy of babies in attendance sweetened the mood, while the antics going down in the Smilebooth brought a few eye-watering moments.
It was truly one for the books, and we invite you all to relive our special day with us in the photos below. Thanks to everyone who’s made three years of Mother possible, we truly appreciate it!
