I love this time of the year. 

Peonies are bit late but finally blooming!

Chloe was in the art club this year and made this sign.

I was showered with cards, notes, coupons and gifts!

Chloe’s cards

Chloe also made me coupons!

Andrew took them to Anthropologie store to use their own money to buy me gifts.

Shane made these chocolate pretzels for me when he went to Andrew’s work last week.

I feel so blessed I have such loving kids. Happy Mother’s day!

This balloon made it to my house! 🙂

I saw her reading in her sunday outfit and I just had to take a picture of her. How cute is she!

A giant balloon = Photo op!

I was asked to plan a very simple baby shower for a colleague at work so this is what I did. 

I love those giant balloons. 🙂

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.

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.

I jumped through hoops and hurdles at LaGuardia airport yesterday after the big snow storm and barely made it out to Florida last night. Phew. I didn’t think I’ll make it.

Hello Orlando.
