It is also our family tradition to get our Christmas tree day after thanksgiving day. 
We had holiday music in the background and spent all afternoon decorating for the holidays~ Love this time of the year!
We are happy to host thanksgiving dinner for both of our parents this year.

We had some friends over so I prepared treats for them before heading down the street to trick or treat.
Shane’s a bush and Chloe’s a sports fan! I made Shane’s bush “outfit” with chicken wire and leaves and it came out pretty well. 🙂
This is my favorite! Lol!
My mom made us birthday breakfast : Seaweed soup with rice and some vegetable dishes
Tonight we celebrated his birthday with a bonfire, smores, and cakes in the backyard porch.
He wanted ramen for late night snack. His favorite food on earth that he’s not allowed to have…except for special occasions such as tonight…;P
A middle schooler and a 4th grader in the house!
Can’t forget a healthy breakfast.
We got up so early that she even had some reading time to calm her nerves.
Chloe announced that she’s going to cooked for us this weekend and she worked on a menu, jotting down a list of grocery list.
She wanted me out of the kitchen and out of her way, so she could do everything on her own. But she needed help so she hired a sous-chef named Andrew. 😉
They were working hard when I came back to the kitchen after being gone shopping with my mom.
My mom looking so amused.
Chloe said this was her invention, her own recipe. It was really really good!
She gave a very good introductory about her food,
then she bowed,
said Grace,
and served her food to everyone. Bravo!
shenanigans at home~ LOL
We spotted a falcon in our yard…
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.
