I came in to work this morning thinking it’s a production day. What I didn’t know was I was going to be a part of the product… After bit**ing and moaning how I didn’t want to be filmed… I decided to have fun with it. Well, I only enjoyed getting a make-up done by a professional. I wish I could’ve prepared better, like dressed more appropriately. Oh well. Put me back in the director’s chair!
Still freezing outside but today is the first day of spring tennis lesson. When I went to go pick them up, I was surprised how much they learned already!
Today we’re having Chloe’s friend’s family over for a dinner. We met so many wonderful people in our town since we moved and this family is one of them. They been so wonderfully kind to us, I wanted to reciprocate the gesture by having them over for a delicious meal.
Tonight’s menu: Broiled miso marinated black cod
After the dinner girls invited us for a play they wrote, called “Christmas Gone Bad”.
Thank you for coming over and playing with us! And thank you for the entertainment, girls!
After being separated for the whole day yesterday, they really missed each other. It’s been nothing but giggles and laughters from them all day. Chloe also organized a private picnic with him only in the backyard which was still covered with snow. It was freezing 30° weather outside!
Chloe and I had a date today in the city. I had dinner plans with my friends and I thought it would be fun for her to come and tag along.
During dinner, Chloe sat quietly next to me and read her book while I caught up with my girlfriends.
Dinner at Mokbar in Chelsea market.
Then we moved our venue to a wine bar where Chloe finished the book that she started reading today while enjoyed a hot chocolate. Yeah…I was that mom who brings a kid to a bar.
10PM and she was happy as a clam. I got to spend the entire day with my favorite girl in the world!
Chloe went to a fabulous glam girl birthday party and got a head to toe makeover.
Chloe’s social calendar is filling up everyday!
Her brownie troop went to a Panera’s Bread and got a tour of the kitchen,
made French baguette,
and also decorated tulip shaped cookies.
Sibling’s station…
Afterwards, some of the moms and kids stayed for a dinner taking over entire back room of the cafe. It was an ultimate playdate for both moms and kids. Shane was also joined by other boy siblings and had a blast!
Our backyard is completely buried in snow.
I’m just glad Mr. Andrew’s back to clean all the snow.
And Shane’s still happy about snow!
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.
