I’m getting ready to host a dinner party tomorrow. When I’m planning a party the first thing I do is buy fresh flowers and set the tables. Nothing transforms the room and gets me in the mood for party like beautiful floral arrangements.
Winter break continues… 
Today I brought both of the kids to work. Last day of Winter break!
I took off work today to take the kids to see the Finding Neverland Broadway musical today. So excited!
We walked through the Grand Central to meet Andrew for lunch before the show.
Lunch at Oyster Bar
Andrew’s seafood salad
My sophisticated Chloe ordered a new England clam chowder and fried oyster for herself.
I had eggs Benedict with salmon and bloody mary. Yum.
Finally the show!
This quickly became Shane’s favorite musical! I also thought it was spectacular show! The cast, led by Kelsey Grammar gave a stellar performance. I laughed and cried. We all loved it!
Intermission snack: Magnolia’s cupcakes
We came back to NJ and had Korean BBQ for dinner. Overall a fantastic day!
I don’t normally get to plan play dates for my kids and I always feel bad for that. Since the kids are off this week, I worked from home today and was able to have one of Chloe’s friends over for a play.
Lunch: sole meuniere with steamed broccoli
Are they making hammock ?
I’m glad Shane also had fun playing with the girls.
Kids have a winter break this week and Shane came to work with me in the office while Chloe had a playdate at her friend’s.
Shane was pretty good at work and he even sat through a long meeting with me. To break the day we went out for a little lunch date. 
Chloe wrote me a birthday card listing 41 things about me.
She’s too generous with her compliment! I’ll take it. 😉
Shane’s valentine’s day card to us.:) I love my kids!
Kids made red velvet cookies in celebration of Valentine’s day. 🙂
Then we delivered the cookies to our neighbors.
Kids and I spent the afternoon painting.
My painting: I wanted to paint how massive some of those trails were and how peaceful it was. If you look close you can find all of us in this painting.
Shane’s painting: Our family skiing/snowboarding together
Chloe’s: She wanted to paint the condo building we stayed at.
Look at that kick!
Moving on to green.
Kids made taglierini with truffle oil tossed with vegetables. 🙂
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.
