Little Details

Little Blooms in Mango

I hope you had a beautiful weekend. I had a very nice Mother's Day with my 3Cs, my husband, my mom-in-law and my parents. Good company and good food makes for a good time. I received some lovely handmade cards from my boys. We are a family who says "I love you" many times a day but there's something extra special when it's written down. My middle C especially loves to make cards and his cards usually say something like, "I really really really love you." So sweet. And, I was doubly impressed with my husband who also made a card for me. It had a picture of our 3Cs on the front and then he connected the front and back with a piece of twine and when I opened it up, a half circle of cardstock swung out and there was his message. It was very creative and I was really touched that he took the time to make it with such special details. All in all, a wonderful day.

Carlsbad Caverns

The weekend is here and I am so glad. We actually had rain this afternoon and it was a glorious sight. It cooled things off and made everything fresh. Love it! Here's a glimpse of the incredible cave decorations in Carlsbad Caverns.

A Trio of Temporary Tats

My 3Cs love temporary tatoos. I'm not always a fan of them. (Is it just me or do the really garish ones seem to last the longest?) But then I came across these playful tats, and I may be changing my mind.

Pretty Pairing

Hello! I was about to ask how your weekend was when I realized that we're already half-way through the week! It's been busy here and I've missed popping in as often as I normally do. So, to pick back up where I left off, we were dealing with my youngest C having violent episodes of yuckiness. The good news? He's doing great; it only lasted 6 hours; we slept through the night and it didn't travel to anyone else. Consequently, we were also able to take a quick trip out of town. My husband had work meetings in Carlsbad and we went with him to visit Carlsbad Caverns. If you haven't heard of them, the caverns are just enormous and beautiful. It had been years and years since I was last there and it was really cool to see the boys react as we hiked down the dark path into the caverns. My husband was taking tons of pictures so maybe I'll be able to share some later in the week. Anyway, I'm back and hopefully able to begin posting again on a regular basis.

Despite the freak hail storm that we traveled through on the way home (!), things are starting to feel pretty summery here. Or perhaps it's just my wishful thinking. At any rate, this tank says summer to me. I think it would make a pretty pair with my little bloom earrings in red. 

oh hello friend

Hello! My posts have been pretty sparse this week because it's been...well, it's been quite a week. Super, super busy, sometimes fun, sometimes stressful, sometimes sad, and today, we're ending with my littlest C having a horrible stomach virus. He's been going through the ringer this afternoon. After a particularly violent episode, my poor little guy who is such a happy soul said, "This is ruining my life. My poor little life. It's breaking my heart." No, my little one, it's breaking my heart to see you like this. Well, before we head into this weekend and whatever it may hold, I wanted to say "hello" and point you to one of my favorite blogs, oh hello friend. Danni has a beautiful way of sharing her heart, her style and her life. She's  been having awesome deals from her shop and great giveaways, which are still going on. So go check it out. I bet you'll want to stay.
