I decorated the front porch and added some plants to brighten up the area. 

I am super excited I am in Paris with these two! My mom’s been here over 40 years ago and she wished she had more time here. There’s just so much to see but obviously we couldn’t see everything in 1 day so I basically just pointed things out to Chloe so when she has the opportunity to visit again, maybe with me or on her own when she’s  older, she’ll hopefully get to all of them.  My mission on this trip was to show her the Louvre and Eiffel tower at the very least.

She loved Jardin des Tuileries.

We are going back to Paris today, leaving this gorgeous place.

I’ll dream about this place for a while…I definitely want to come back here again with the whole family.

Train ride. Paris here we come!

I made sleep masks for us to wear them for some fun photo op. 🙂 

We had so much fun trying to take selfies! We couldn’t stop laughing at ourselves. LOL!

Pretend sleep.

We visited Gordes village which is on the foothills of the Monts of Vaucluse, facing the Luberon. Gordes is one of the most well-known hilltop villages in the region, and one of the most beautiful in France.

We visited Cézanne’s studio where he  painted towards end of his life. 

We got a real feeling of tranquility walking around the garden and I could imagine Cezanne creating his masterpieces here.

The most incredible thing was the preservation of a table, skulls, and other objects he incorporated in his paintings. There was also letters he had written to his contemporaries Monet and Manet.

Kids had an awesome 6 weeks camp at Pilgrim Church this summer. Both kids loved it so much more than previous years, especially Chloe who couldn’t hold back her tears when it was over.

Afterwards, kids visited my work for some fun. It just happened to be a special pop-up event week so it was perfect for them to come hang out.

Kids must think I play at work all the time. 🙂

Play/Work

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!
