After work, I had a pleasure of meet up with my good friend from the past. We just sort of lost touch for a while, being busy with life. So after me having two kids, and her getting married and moving out to SF… Â here we are again just like the old days.
And the food at  Anchor & Hope. Yum. Yum.Yum.
I woke up bright and early, being completely jet legged around 5 am. PST time. So I worked for about 3 hours in bed, then I headed out for some sightseeing before I start my full day of work at the Expo.
My cousin picked me up (thank you!) from my hotel at around 8:30 a.m. and took me to see the Golden Gate Bridge. I love this bridge. 
Arcatraz
The weather is gorgeous and beeeaaautiful today. I just can’t get over how nice the weather is right now and the fact that the beach is only a few minutes away…
We had a breakfast at the Cliff house and this was our view from the table.
Eggs San Francisco, poached eggs with Dungeness crab, toasted sourdough bread & brandy cream sauce. Yummmmm. Now, I’m ready for work!
My badge. I had it on me all day. Oh yeah.
My cousin whom I haven’t seen in twenty years took me out for a lovely dinner. It was sooooo great to reconnect with her and share our past memories and current lives…
And we pre-celebrated my birthday. 🙂
I cooked all day last Sunday and worked out the kiddies menus for the rest of the week as I’m going away on a conference this week.
Andrew’s working from home while I’m away and my mother-in-law is also staying with them to help out with the kids. Andrew will be Mr. mom for the next 4 days. While I’m in sunny CalifORNIA! 🙂
I’ll miss you guys~
When Shane just wakes from his naps, sometimes he likes to be held and be still. Oh how I treasure these moments with him…
I took Chloe to Madison Square Garden for a Disney Princess on Ice show this morning. We had  a great date. She had her first subway experience getting there too. This evening when she prayed, she said, “Dear God, … thank you for mommy and the princess on ice show and Ariel barbie…I pray for mommy so she can get well rest tonight…”
How great is she!
Oh Shane… the things you say cracks me up.
When he gets in trouble and I have to punish him, he says to me, “why are you so mean to me?”
I finally painted the chalkboard in the kitchen. Chloe loves it. When it’s cold out, I tend to take on more projects at home. What’s next?
Shane likes to hang out in the cold, while his daddy’s shoving the snow.
We’ve been getting hit with snowstorms every week since December. Plus, Shane and Andrew both had stomach bugs and Chloe has this ongoing cold. This winter’s been so brutal…
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
