Pretty Peony and my so cute slipcover!

This is a chair I had slipcovered a few months ago, and I really love how it turned out!

It is so cottage-ee and cute.

The pillow on the chair is from Ikea, they are only around $10 dollars and I think it really has the same affect as an old french linen pillow.

O.K., maybe not the same affect, but is was a steal at $10 bucks!

And the Peonies are from a neighbors yard, I had Chris swip them in the dark last night!

I don't think anybody lives there.

I didn't tell him that, I let him think he was living on the edge like he used to(before family).

So anyway... get outside and get yourself some flowers.

The YNOT awards! P.S. YNOT is Tony spelled backward!

Yes again with the brilliant tween, I know enough already! I just can't help myself!

Chloe was in a play a few months ago called

State Fair.

On this night she was attending the YNOTS,

the high school musical equivalent of the

Tonys.

Chloe's school was winning an award for their performance in the play.

Their were 7 high schools attending, and 26 performances that night, Chris got to take her and I stayed home with Belle,actually Belle went to bed and I watched the movie

Valentines Day.

It was cute and predictable, I give it 3 stars!

I think it was nice to just sit and enjoy a movie on my own,in peace and quiet!

Chloe had a nice night and again we are proud of her for all of her achievements!

Cupcakes for everyone else!

Belle had a great birthday and as always it was a week long celebration!

April at a glance!

This past week was "moms day" at Belle's preschool. Belle and her friends put on a show for all of us lucky moms! They sang songs, danced in circles, and drew the most beautiful pictures of each of their moms! Mine really did look like me!

What a treat!

Thanks Belle Grace,

I LOVE YOU!

I have been working on some party hats for my new Etsy shop,

I only have a few items, but its a start!

I really love making things and coming up with new ideas!

No sales yet, but I am feeling hopeful!

Chloe was in a play this past April,

Once on this Island

She is the beauty in the red dress!

She had a few different parts, including some solo singing!

She was awesome!

Chloe also won an award from W.A.M.A.

(Wyomissing Area Music Association)

for her advancement and dedication to the choral department.

Yes, I know, she really is a super kid!

Daddy and I are so proud of you!

We love you so much!

Happy mothers day!
