Today I’m in the city for work, looking for some inspiration. I took Chloe with me and we had a great time as always. She’s such an awesome company. I love you my cool, funny girl. 🙂

We had lunch at ABC Kitchen and oh boy, everything was so delicious!

Chloe’s dressed up as an archer

Shane is a skeleton knight.

Did someone disappear?

I thought I would make some fun food for dinner tonight.

I got dressed up to go to a GALA tonight and 

Chloe is going to her 5th grade Halloween party.

Honor to be part of such a wonderful organization tonight. #AWCA

Came home after Shane’s soccer game and we baked an apple cake and apple muffins. 

Apple cake made with whole wheat and no sugar. Not very pretty and not popular amongst my family but my mom and I like it. Not-so-guilty pleasure… 😉

We sat outside on the porch to carve pumpkins, enjoying this beautiful fall weather.

Taking a break!

Shane also scored two goals today! Go Shane!!

After Andrew and Chloe left for the Ball, my parents, Shane and I went out to have sushi for dinner celebrating my parent’s wedding anniversary. 🙂

Perfect way to end the busy Saturday.

Aren’t they the cutest duo?!

Chloe insisted on wearing converse with this dress, so I got the matching ones for Andrew too. ;P

I also made them matching boutonnière and corsage.

You look so lovely!

Off they go! Have a wonderful time!!

I’ve been sewing every night for the last two weeks, designing and making Chloe’s dress for the father and daughter Princess Ball, a fundraising event organized by our town. This is her first time going to a formal event and I wanted to make her a special dress. I haven’t made clothes since my high school prom but I always thought about making clothes and this was a good excuse to start again. I finished this dress literally minutes before she had to go, while getting her hair and nails done simultaneously! I would say I definitely had the “make it work” moment from Project Runway. Lol. Chloe thinks I’m obsessed with that show. 🙂 I’m happy how it turned out, though I second guessed myself constantly and thought about buying a back-up dress just in case. Chloe approved the design and cheered me on, even though she said she’s not the “fancy type”. She was very happy with it which made all my sleepless nights so very worth it.  Thank you for trusting me to make your dress and happily wearing it. You are the sweetest! <3

Chloe’s been playing soccer since 1st grade and today, she scored her first goal!!! I jumped out of my seat and screamed! Go Chloe!

One of Chloe’s best friends is moving to Europe so we are getting together at her friend’s house for a goodbye party…

Chloe’s made a beautiful card for her.

I’ll miss seeing all of them together! We’ll miss you guys! Wishing all the best to the beautiful family~
