nurture your free spirit...

what a wonderful weekend!  i missed my Martin (he was having fun at a boys weekend), but my time with Caroline made up for that, pinkfold.  giggle!

we attended Pinkalicous, the musical, on Saturday.  it's a series of books about PINK!  and we got to see it in action.

we dressed the part (duh) with lots of pink and glitter magic on AND we got the actors autographs!  what a special day...

i also got to see a movie this weekend with a bff... "the perks of being a wallflower."  LOVED IT!  the message I received from it is:  nurture your free spirit.  define what that means for you...but just do it,  please.

have you seen a dog LOVING the wind out of a car window?!  why should they be the only ones?!

just LOOK at the fun in her face! ( i promise, we were safe.  it was a slow drive down our street with moon roof fun.)

nurture the love you have for life everyday.  it will reward!  heart hands and smiles.  <3 :)

blessed...

it's my birthday.  i love birthdays!  not really sure why, i just do.  it's happy, it's a time to celebrate life.  you get to wear a tiara and you have birthday powers!  what's not to love?!?

this 45th birthday i feel blessed, beyond comprehension.  so blessed, lucky, grateful, loved.  best birthday ever!

balloons on the ceiling!  what could be better?!  smiles for miles.

saw this when we went shopping for steaks at the local butcher shop~it just describes my day!  (martin is making dinner tonight.  the mushrooms on the stove smell heavenly.)

loving that i am vintage now.  it's hip and cool, right?!

OMG~i got sharpies.  i love them.  so much.  words cannot describe.  happy color writing to me!

my sweet husband brought my fave flowers to work for me!

the MOST thoughtful gift from customers that i am now lucky to call friends. <3

3 generations of cooking for my kitchen wall.  sigh.

heart bowls to treasure from my forever bff.

a bottle of bubbly to start the evening.

my tiara is fixed!  let the reign continue!

have i mentioned how blessed i am?!?

gratitude is oozing from my soul.  heart hands and smiles.

hearts always remember...

while time does heal, hearts always remember.
when i thought of what picture i wanted to post to celebrate mom, this was the one...

this is the pure essence of Alice.

signing off with a heavy heart, remembering my mom.  xoxo
