One of Chloe’s bucket list for this trip was to eat the “authentic” Laudurée macarons in Paris at their original location. She’s too funny. Luckily there was one close to our hotel.
But first, breakfast. 
This is her thing now…drinking hot chocolate with her breakfast.
And Macaroons! We got one box for our family and one box for her best friend. 🙂 Can’t wait to see the rest of our family back home!
I turned a small bedroom into my walk-in closet/studio space and I couldn’t be happier! Since it’s my own space I wanted to make it as girly, feminine and sparkly as I could ever dream!

I took today off from work and took my mom, my nephew and my kids to the city for a lunch at Black Tap.
Burger are good but this is the real reason why we are here. These ridiculous shakes…
My sweet Chloe, who loves to read got new glasses.
I can stare at her face for hours. How did I get so lucky…
I went to the AWCA luncheon/fashion show event today at Neiman Marcus. Loved see the new fashion trends, while having lunch with friends. What a fun way to break up a work day!
Kids start winter break today! I thought I would try to be a cool mom tonight and decided to treat the kids and their friends to a movie & a dinner.
Watching The Lego Batman Movie
Loading up with sugar! 
Paying really good attention to the previews.
Besties!
Cheers with root beer!
Each kids ordered their own meals. No kids meals for these sophistcated kids. We talked about politics, schools and of course farts… We had so much fun hanging out!
I have been wanting to refresh this area for a while and I’m happy I finally pulled the trigger. I’m in love with this rug…

Andrew got flowers for me and Chloe. 
He got me an orchid. I don’t know how many orchid didn’t survive under my care.. hope this one lives for a long time.
Chloe put her flowers in her vanity. So pretty.
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.
