The Past Two Weeks

Quick and photo heavy update of what I am up to lately.  

Fort Building

Enjoying the sunshine 

We had over 50 people over this Easter!  Most were families of some lovely children we know, all refugees from Burma.

After our Easter celebration ended we headed over to an Easter Fiesta at Twila Jean's

I have been learning to cook and eat vegan, I hesitate to use that word as it is politically charged-  Better to say we are switching to a complete plant based diet.

Reading lots of stories

My daughter had this all laid out for the Titanic Tea

I basically would love to start all over with my outfit for the tea.  This picture isn't so bad-someday I'll share a few of the others where I cringe at myself.

Papa and my nephew Josh, handsome!

The Mr. and I had a little couple time in the form of a weekend escape

This was just what this Mama needed

How To Get A New Dress

I saw this dress at ModCloth and really wanted it, but couldn't justify buying it for myself.  Instead I Facebooked Papa the link.  A new Mama trick, ask for something from your honey publicly-maybe in front of 400 or so of his closest friends.  What kind of hubby could ignore such a request?!  

Obviously not mine!

This dress, although new, reminds me of why I love vintage.  It has a flattering cut, with a busy top, fitted high waist and full dark skirt.  It has been a long time since I wore something that made me feel this good. 

Bon Appetit

Quick post of Papa and I doing one of the things we do best, eating out!

  I discovered I do not like bloody mary's, but it was a nice compliment to my hair and scarf.

Isn't Mav a swell dresser?  His style and taste are way more refined than my own.  I have to work to keep up!
