Crossing Golden Gate Bridge

We flewed to San Francisco this morning and here we are having a delicious dinner with my cousin’s family.

Thank you for treating us to dinner! It was soooo good to see you guys!

Our summer vacation begins with San Francisco!

Thank you uncle Danny and Renna for Travel care package for kids!

Today is the first day of vacation and this morning, Chloe comes downstairs with her math workbooks. So proud of her for wanting to do well at school on her own.

Breakfast: sautéed vegetable with egg, blueberries with cottage cheese

Lunch: salad with steamed shrimp & smoked duck 

Shane doing his chores: folding laundry…

Chloe’s friend’s family invited us over for a playdate at their lake.

Shane caught a frog.

So happy we got to squeeze in one more playdate before we go off to our summer vacation. Thank you for the awesome time!

Aside from the great fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ away from our daily chores, the church retreat for me is about slowing down and reflect on my spiritual journey… I’m so grateful for this time with my church family every year.

We are back! 

breakfast in bed for my guy.

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad to my kiddos!

Chloe and I have been working on upgrading her room little by little since the beginning of this year. We let her choose all of her furniture pieces and accessories and this is how it turned out!

Ta da~ She’s been dreaming about this four poster bed from PBteens.

We went to a bunch of fabric stores in the garment district in NYC and Chloe chose this trim from M&J Trimming. I sewed it on the top of the canopy to glam it up a bit. She definitely has a designer’s eye!

Fairly lights on top, of course.

I picked up this antique frame from a flea market in Brooklyn and turned it into a pin board. I covered the cork board with a natural canvas fabric to give it a softer look.

And here is the star of this room: 

The hanging chair!

This chair is e v e r y t h i n g. 

Chloe has been super responsible on keeping her room neat, making her bed every morning and getting everything organized since the room update. Congratulations on your new dream room, Chloe~
I’m just so proud of you~~~<3 <3 <3
