Cyber Vacay Paris

Hotel Plaza Athenee



I hope you all had great long weekends! To keep that vacation feeling alive I will leave you with this beautiful post on one of my favorite cities in the whole entire world, Paris! Aside from the gorgeous views you can get straight out your room, the location, beauty and service is exceptional here. How beautiful is this place? From the courtyard to the interior, it doesn't get more gorgeous. You will be quite comfortable and surrounded by the best here I assure you. I love Paris!

noble and beautiful

"When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps."
- John Lennon

This week just started and it's already getting away from me. Work is getting busy, a long weekend is coming up, M is getting busy with soccer and school coming to a close, we opened up the cottage and put the boat in the water this past weekend, flowers had to be planted and wedding season is approaching!  So much going on, but so happy the weather has been wonderful!

Cyber Vacay Amsterdam

De L'Europe



Amsterdam was such a fantastic city to visit. So many bridges made it very charming over the endless waterways. I highly recommend going! And isn't this hotel lovely to stay at?

Happy Birthday, Mom



This birthday post is for my very special mother. Growing up I was lucky enough to have a stay at home mom who could do everything for me and our family. Home cooked dinner every night together as a family, done. Needed a ride to a practice or after school function, done. Extra errands to run, done. Laundry, done. Baking, cooking, cleaning, sick and need to come home? Check, check and check. Super mom. She did EVERYTHING and then some. And the truth is she still does! Now she's a Grandma to my brother's children and they are fortunate enough to have her for a sitter, no daycare needed. And who watches my pooch when he needs some extended supervision? Bring him on over to his Grandma's house, fur babies are just as welcome and treated just as equal. My mother is the definition of a giver and will go above and beyond to help out. Sometimes I wonder when we stumbled into those hard times that so many families go through how she managed it all with two kids on her own. Those are things you don't think about as a child and now that I'm grown up it just baffles my mind the way she stayed so strong. I'm so proud of her and I so blessed to have her for my mother. I've been so lucky to have shared countless travels around the world together, mother and daughter, no plan in mind, just a country we want to see and go! They remain some of my fondest memories and I'm so glad we never hesitated to take those trips. Thankfully I don't think the travel bug in either one of us intends to leave anytime soon. Who knows where we'll end up next! Happy Birthday to my Super Mom, who never ceases to amaze me!

Aztec Print Jacket
This belongs in my closet. From IRO  S/S 2012 the rose colored Aztec Print Jacket is so beautiful the way the colors run together. Perfect weight and slightly cropped with a little bulk.

winter is past

“The winter is past, the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth. The season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.”

[Song of Songs 2:11-12]
