My mom, Chloe and I went to the city this afternoon for some furniture shopping and dinner on this hot steamy summer day.
We had dinner at Republic, one of our favorite noodle place. 
Then we went to Eataly for yummy gelato and bought some bread and fresh pasta noodles to bring home. Along the way, we made a quick stop at its Wine and Cheese bar which was so delicious and perfect end to our day.
They also planted flower seeds in the backyard.
Happy birthday Ken! Glad we could be part of your special day.
Good morning Steamboat!
Kids are starting a 5 day ski school and we are also starting the first day of our ski/snowboarding lesson today. Can’t wait to see more of the mountain!
First day of skiing…we thought we’ve seen some great trails today only to find out that we’ve only been to the bottom third of the mountain.
We got to check out Downtown Steamboat late afternoon.
Three kids looking inside a candy shop.
I love gummy bears and I found one as big as Shane’s face.
Brilliant. A book cafe where they had booze in the coffees.
Testing out the presents.
Kids came to our bed, oh I don’t know like 5 or something… but we stayed in the bed until 7am and went downstairs to open the presents.
What the… what are those things standing up?
Omg… I can totally picture how happy Andrew was while buying these…

My new yoga mat! 
Chloe’s gift to herself: hand sanitizers 
Chloe turned 9 yesterday and instead of having a party with her friends, she wanted a day with me in the city. She’s SO my daughter!
Her wish granted, I planned a fabulous day planned for us!
First stop! A fabulous lunch at the Carlyle.
Foie gras for appetizer,
Roasted chicken for her
Seafood salad for me.
Second stop: Laurée for some fabulous macarons!
Then we spent a good few hours at American Girl Place!
All that shopping calls for some hot coco.
Then for dinner, the boys came to join us at Uncorked.
What a fabulous day with my fabulous sweet girl Chloe! Happy birthday my Chloe~~
We got our Christmas tree today and Kids already wrapped and put our presents under the tree!

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.
