Lemonade Stand + Family Weekend

Nora had her first lemonade stand this weekend and it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.   We decided last minute to have a yard sale Saturday morning and I thought a lemonade stand would be a fun way to keep her entertained, so Friday[...]

You Know I’m Feeling Better When…

My mom called me a couple of days ago and asked me, "Did you really stay up until 3 am working on a website?"  Why, yes I did. I've been feeling great and aside from the little scar at the base of my throat, I hardly feel like I even ha[...]

30 Days of Thanks: My Mom

Today, I am thankful for my mom.  She was the very best mom she could be through some really tough situations, and she never gave up on me.  We definitely had some rocky moments when I was a teenager (boy, do I have karma coming to me[...]

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.
