How an innocent day at the park can go wrong

An innocent day at the park with 6 kids and 2 mothers. What could possibly go wrong?

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, birds were chirping and kids were playing. And then, one mom decided that it was time to take some pictures. What this mom did not realize is that the pictures would result in the below.

I just had to post them because they gave us suck a chuckle when we “actually” looked at them!

Bubbles everywhere

Do bubbles ever get old? Bubbles are the number one “extra” I love to add to all birthday presents for little ones! Especially in the summer! Somehow, they are always trending!

As much as I cannot stand a song I learned with Talia at Gymboree, it has stuck in my brain and I most likely will never get it out! So… that said, here goes…

There are bubbles everywhere, everywhere (clap) (clap)

There are bubbles in the air, in the air (clap) (clap)

There are bubbles everywhere, there are bubbles in the air… there are bubbles everywhere, everywhere (clap) (clap)

Imperfectly Perfect

Leaving A Lovely Legacy | March 4th, 2013 | To My Daughters…

“I am not a perfect mother and I will never be. You are not a perfect daughter and you will never be. But put us together and we will be the best mother and daughter we would ever be.”
Zoraida Pesante

Somehow this picture sums up the quote above. I don’t know what it is about this picture that I dislike immensely, yet love at the same time…

It could be how stiff we all look (or me for that matter), or quite possibly the emptiness in our faces. It’s the opposite of what we had exuded on that evening. We had some of the best laughs that night. Both of you shed a few very tired tears as well. Of all pictures taken that evening, this was the only one where our faces had the same expressions.

It was as if we had a moment, which was just ours, and we were all feeling the same emotion, perfectly connected with each other.

Remember When

February 25th, 2013 | Leaving a lovely legacy | To my daughters…

Just over 2 years ago, I took a little business trip to Annapolis, MD. Strolling down the tiny streets, and on our way to a jazz bar, I found a perfect little window display for an even more lovely store. The display held a picture frame with the words to “You Are My Sunshine” on it. Immediately, I fell in love since that was the song I used to sing to both of you when you were infants. Lucky for me, both of you still love the song and we sing it together every-so-often. The store was closed and I was leaving for home early the next morning.

A week later, I received a package at work.

Inside the package was the picture frame! It was from one of the women from our Annapolis office. The gift touched my heart and since then, I fell even more in love with Sugarboo designs!

Decisions And Your Future

Another addition: Leaving a lovely legacy

To my beautiful daughters. It’s not about making the right decision for everyone else, it’s about making the right decision for you.

Always live and work from your center, and follow your heart.

Leaving a lovely legacy – the beginning

// this is just the beginning of my new page “leaving a lovely legacy,” which is what my lovely little blog is really all about…

Dedicated to my little beans, Talia and Julia.

This is me (aka mom) leaving little bits and pieces of myself, my thoughts and all the lovely things I find that make me think of the two of you.

Whether a quote, a picture or song, I hope these sweet pieces of our lovely world stay with you forever.

always

My Dearest Talia,

Your compassion never ceases to amaze me! Through you, I have learned so many beautiful things in life, but most of all, how to love people regardless of their flaws.

My Dearest Julia,

Your laughter is contagious, your sense of self, incredible. You have taught me how amazing it feels to freely be who I am and love it!

To be continued…
