Bon Voyage

The time has finally come, and we are off on our Parisian adventure!  And for once in my life, I am going to be selfish and take a break from everything to concentrate on me (and the Hubs, and Coco Chanel).  It's been a long while since I have had a vacation, so I am taking advantage of every nanosecond, starting now.  I'll be away from blogosphere for the next week so please come back and see me next Wednesday.  Will miss you all in the meantime! Bon Voyage!!

Metallic Hints

Now that summer is nearing, my inner princess boho begins to emerge as I bust out all of my fun hair accessories and doodads.  And now that my hair is getting long again, I can get more creative with my locks such as playing with braids, head pieces, and scarves.  

PS. How rad is this denim pencil skirt? 

Happy Father's Day

To all the Dads in the world....a fist pump and bro hug on your special day.  And to the dads and granddads who are nearest and dearest to me, know that you mean everything to our family... with out you, our every day lives would be less fun and less spoiled.

Happy Weekend

Life somehow managed to block me from blogosphere this week.  I won't bore you with the details, but I am sure glad that the weekend is here and can finally have some breathing space.  I am a horrible, horrible, horrible daughter who is finally scavenging through the internet to find the perfect Father's Day gift (I am so off my game this week). The Paris trip is nearly 4 days away and I am packing away getting organized for the extravaganza.  What are your plans for the weekend?

School is Out for Summer

He's grown a few inches taller, his hair is a lot longer, and he's a preschool year wiser.  Big D has completed his first full year of preschool, and what a journey it has been.  His vocabulary has exploded and he's getting smarter and smarter every day.  He can ride a trike, zip on a scooter, sing his ABC's, and produce some first class artwork!  But now that school is over, he has got a full week and a half off before he starts summer camp.  You better live it up dude - one week of summer!

First day of Preschool

Last day of preschool

Here are some tidbits from Big D's last day of preschool / kick off to summer party.  As a little favor, I created placemats for each kid with their photos that we used for the school auction.  I couldn't let such cute photos go to waste!

Just Trousing

Ever since my days of being an Accountant (I'll save that story for a different day), I have avoided any semblances of 'business casual'..those being trouser pants and over starched poplin shirts.  Since it's been nearly a decade of wearing that uniform, I am slowly coming around to the look of trouser pants...with a a more casual twist.
