Had a few of my girl friends over for a very festive holiday dinner. I made roasted golden beets salad with truffle burrata, lamb chops with rosemary & garlic as appetizers, and for main, I served Frutti di Mare with lobster. For dessert, I combined red wine, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, brown sugar, boiled with berries then after it was cooled and chilled, I topped it with frozen yogurt. It was such a refreshing yummy treat.
These two came voluntarily to offer help with Chloe’s party tonight! They literally did all the clean-ups, not to mention help with guest coats and serving food! They were the best help anyone could ask for! I can’t thank you enough how much I appreciated the help and I was just happy you guys came to keep me company! Love you guys!!!
Happy birthday my sweet girl!!! You make me so incredibly proud to be your mom and I thank God each day for what a beautiful gift you are to me. You are that cool girl I always wished I could be! You are only sixteen but you are a warrior. You are brave in all the ways that matter. You stand firm in what you believe and you don’t waver at the dramas around you. I am in awe of the beautiful young woman you are and becoming. Love you so much, my firstborn child!

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.
