For the last few weeks, my friend and I have been busy planning and decorating for our church, getting ready for the Advent season.
We made 6 big wreaths with help of lovely ladies who volunteered to help.
We strung lights to the wreaths and hang them from the ceiling.
I got to hang them using a riser from the top of the ceiling. It was wild, fun and scary to be so high up there. What an experience.
It is also our family tradition to get our Christmas tree day after thanksgiving day. 
We had holiday music in the background and spent all afternoon decorating for the holidays~ Love this time of the year!
We are happy to host thanksgiving dinner for both of our parents this year.
It is a family affair, we all cook together for the thanksgiving dinner. This has become our family tradition. 🙂

Chloe and Andrew make an apple pie,

Roasted butternut squash, caramelized fig and feta salad

Put together this beautiful arrangements for tonights dinner.

Started snowing little bit when school got out, but then it turned into real heavy snow real fast making our commute home from kids activities which normally takes about 20 minutes into 2 hour ride home. Crazy! So many cars were stuck on the roads and we saw many accidents. 
I’m thankful we made it home safe.
After dinner we came to experience a breathtaking display of more than 7,000 illuminated jack o’ lanterns—all designed and hand-carved on site by the team of artisans. Amazing!

I’m so glad that my friend asked me if I wanted to take a cake decorating class. It was so much fun! @The Art of Cake Studio
Why do we look so serious and stiff? Haha, we rushed to get out the door after getting the kids home from different activities. Off to AWCA Gala, but can’t forget to take a picture!
Supported a good cause and enjoyed the night out with my hubby. 😉
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.
