My chickadees are officially on Spring Break!

Can you hear the relief in my voice...

i was ready for a break in our routine

slower mornings

carefree evening

What perfect timing to share little tidbits of things around my home...

A vintage wine barrel made into a lazy susan...

has me spinning in circles of happiness!!

Look up and to the left...

do you spy a kitchen chair?

One without a seat cushion?

It's a bit treacherous trying to eat in our kitchen at the moment...

pretty much standing room only!

All 6 chairs are freshly painted grey...

Revere Pewter to be exact.

I'll show you a closer

up close and personal image as soon as their

new seat cushions arrive

Now, lets move into the family room

shall we....

My coffee table received a precious gift...

from my sweet friend

who know my taste to a

she arrived on my doorstep for a morning coffee and girl chatting with

this awesome lantern!

Coffee Time is now always on me

she found me the missing piece to the coffee table vignette puzzle!

Thank you for stopping in for a visit!

I'm off to take a certain daughter of mine to the Ortho for her braces to be removed!!!

I see an evening celebration over this special occasion in our future!!!

xo,

Spring presented me with a ticket for a lovely trip on a ferris wheel...

but it came with a hitch....

the ride never stops!

It's been a continuous around and around

up again

down again

thinking I'm finally getting off....

As the ride begins to descend

I'm thinking

what a relief

I think I'm feeling motion sickness

and

I desperately want my wobbly legs to feel the ground under my feet

to saunter around

pick a fresh bloom

sit on a park bench

&

ponder the most complicated decision of the day

being

do I have a latte before or after lunch?

or

should i be wild and crazy and have 2 in one day!!!

I adore April

the season

the many celebrations it brings

from the very first spotting of daffodils

to my red tulips that dance in the spring breeze

their vibrancy brings images of swim suit season that is fast approaching

i can already smell the scent of sunscreen on my children's bodies

seeing their brightly colored swim suits floating along the waters surface

but it is also my

busiest time of year

in fact my Christmas season looks like Groundhogs Day compared to April.

So please forgive my absence

I've just needed Wi~fi to stay connected before I jumped on the ride that doesn't want to end...

but don't worry

I see myself parachuting off this ride very soon

and

I will share it all with you....

from 6 chairs that are now painted a soft velvety gray

to my new love for vinyl

yes, vinyl!!!!

just wait to see what i doing with it!

an Ikea rug that is just as good as an ice cream sundae with extra fudge...

and

I now officially have a 15 year old and an 11 year old

it's been a non~stop birthday celebration

one cake after another

i haven't been able to take a moment and write a post about them

but i will

&

of course Easter is fast approaching

followed by

a sweet little girl about to receive her First Communion on April 30

oh my!!!
