Today, Andrew went golfing and my parents are using my car (yes. they arrived this week!) so I’m home with kids without a car. So we decided to walk to our town library which took us about 40 min. to get there. When we got there kid picked out a few books and cooled off, reading for over an hour. Then we stopped by a gas station to buy gum and walked back home. We talked about how when I was in elementary and middle school in Korea, I used to always walked to school every day. Haha, something that sounded so foreign to them. 🙂

I made them a cool lemonade and they read some more on the porch. What a lovely day it was!

I had the honor of planning my friend’s bridal shower.

I cut some flowers from my garden, found a branch and voila!
Super easy to put together and makes a beautiful backdrop.

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

We’re staying in this prison-turned-hotel during our stay in Boston.

“This architectural gem on the edge of Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood was built from local granite in 1851, and served as the Charles Street Jail until 1990; Malcom X once did time here, too.”

I loved all of the decor elements in the room.

Shane put his belongings on top of his headboard to mark his territory.

And the room comes with a nice view of the city.

I had such a lovely day with my girl Chloe in the city today. She’s a great partner to just walk the New York streets with no particular goal and we had so many fun and meaningful conversations. 

For lunch, I took her to Lady Mendel’s and had  a five course high tea. 

What a charming place to spend time with my girl. I love that we can make these special memories and knowing how appreciative and thankful she is makes these kinds of moments even more special. What a blessing…

Breakfast

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’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.
