My friends and I planned a surprise baby shower for a very special friend today.

She had no idea!

What a marvelous afternoon spent with amazing women. I'm so blessed to know you guys…

I'm making these paper flowers for Chloe's party.

Chloe knows how to write her name by herself!

She also likes to draw our family. She only draws eye lashes on females. Lol.

lunch

visited shops in Montmartre…

I walked around more than 13 hours today, went   e v e r y w h e r e   in the city, got lost a bunch of times, through the rain and thunderstorms… Love Paris…

This morning we headed out to Saint Paul, Marais to do some shopping and visit art museum galleries.

We made a reservation here at this restaurant and they came to pick us up at our hotel. Not too shabby…

Great food

awesome company

Who ARE they?? My girls friends are attracting guys everywhere we went! 😉

Our ride? Oh la la~

All of us stayed here in an amazing family suite, thanks to Amy's corporate rate!

The first stop in Paris

I'm in Paris for the next ten days for a business trip. It's tough being away again from my kids but thankfully three of my close friends are accompanying me (for the first three days) so I'm not too sad… We arrived on a red eye this morning and we headed straight to Champs-Élysées and walked around all day. More pictures to come…

80% of what you see here are new, made freshly just for this private sale at my friend's house this evening.

Plus, 20% of proceeds are going to CCA, Christian Action Asia, a non profit organization that helps orphaned, abandoned and disabled children in the Tibetan Plateaus of Qinghai China.
