Williams Sonoma Easter

Oh sigh.... How do I love the Easter collection this year from Williams Sonoma? Let's just say, a lot. So pretty and it just screams Spring to me. That is a good thing. I am so ready for Spring.

Happy Saint David's Day

Today is March 1st and in Wales, that is the day we celebrate our patron saint. Saint David. So to all my Welsh friends and family I wish you a very happy Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant.





The leek is a symbol of Wales,Daffodils are our national flower and our beautiful Welsh flag.

Love these

These photos of Alex make me smile. She was so happy during our Spring preview last week! Of course, today was a snow day at school but soon sunny days will return...soon!

Toys from Britain

I love me some Habitat! A wall map with animals of the globe in their native environment and a globe that they can color!

Both available from Habitat

Back to Rain

We flirted with Spring last week but now the rain and chill is back. Time to make my favorite Tomato soup. I can never understand how it tastes so frickin creamy! I love this with goat cheese toast for a yummy lunch. Recipe and image via Martha Stewart found here

My beautiful freesias!

These are helping with my Spring and White craving! I love them.

Japanese tape

Yes, I pretended I would be satisfied with the masking tape I found last week, but then I saw this..


and it was all over.

Thank You Aunt Jen

I would like to thank Cool Aunt Jen for sending me flowers this week. I had a very rough week with Alexandra and was just feeling blue. The flowers cheered me up but not as much as having a cool Aunt Jen to vent to on the telephone. Everyone needs an Aunt Jen. Love You.

Papier Valise

Seriously, I think I have spent the vast majority of the past week at this website. It has become therapy for me. I go, I dream, I lust, I adore, I forget the noisy children running around behind me! Just so much incredible beauty in one place. My first order has been placed and I am stalking the mailman. Just incredible stuff.

masking tape

I saw images of beautiful masking tape all over the internet these last few weeks. DWR were all sold out by the time I even thought of looking for some. At my sons preschool yesterday, I happened to see the masking tape they use there and it made me happy. So I checked with Discount School Supply and voila! For my purposes, they will work just fine! Both available here

I want to live here

I will be happy!

My tulips

I took these shots this morning. I love the color of these tulips and they looked so pretty in the sunshine (which has now gone back into hiding).

Just because

I love these photos Eric took this afternoon at the Lake.
