I have something to show you!
Btw....my favorite is still always vanillia...
What's yours?

I found this amazing post over at

Daisy Pink Cupcake
&

I had to share it with YOU!

You can download all the labels

Here to make your own

Ice Cream Parlour Buffet!

What an adorable birthday

party or wedding shower!

I LOVE the

pink & white stripe theme!

Maybe a cherry on top too!

Apricot balls?




Coconut Ice?




I think I will probally keep my

ice cream plain
in a waffle cone~




So now...
take your shoes off
and relax.



We can sit in these cute chairs ...



Or maybe
we will sit in this living room,
it looks warmer here~

Toe Dancing Back To Me

I am strong.

I believe in balance.

&

I am toe dancing

back to me~

I am searching hard,

talking out loud,

&

praying in silence

for my space,

so that I can keep my balance...

My balance comes from my time
alone.
Some, always love people around them.
Do you ?
or
Do you love being alone?


I celebrate when I am alone.

It is a communion between
me & myself.

Staying balanced in life is

just like a toe dance~

You must be strong, graceful

&

honor your dance~

Have a Beautiful Weekend!

It's A Beautiful World!!

It's a Beautiful World!!

Especially....

since the day Mandy created

a la parisienne

ONE year ago!

Watching her beautiful beautiful

little Amelia grow

is one of the sweetest gifts

I know...

Amelia's first birthday party , inspired by

Marie Antoinette last

year was an unforgettable event Mandy

shared with us all, every single step.

She welcomed us with open arms into her

Beautiful world!

Mandy shares her celebrations in life

and moments of motherhood.

Sometimes she will share a date with

Mr. a la parisienne~

Mandy is honest. She gently shares thoughts

of change through her life of being a

young mother.

She is an amazing artist, photographer, writer,

&

teacher.

She tried so beautifully to teach us all

French on Fridays.

~Joyeux Anniversaire Mandy~

Mandy is very special to me.

I hold her close to my heart.

She was one of my first friends

in my blogging family.

We both started our blogs last year in Feb.

She has been a loyal friend throughout

my blogging journey.

Mandy's eye is most romantic.

She creates handmade flower brooches.

Above is my favorite one

in her pale blush signature color,

Fete comme Antoinette

Mandy designs blog banners, side bar

images & buttons.

You can visit Mandy's shop to view

all her talents she offers

Happy One Year

Beautiful Dear Mandy!

You have blessed me

&

all who know you~

Thank you for being here!!

XOXO

Do You Remember?

Do you remember

your first

Kiss?

I do, but it wasn't that special....

I was in 6th grade.

His name was George.

It was a Saturday.

My friend & I rode bikes

to his house.

I was taller than him.

I was grounded when I came home

but I couldn't wait to

go to school on Monday.

I never kissed George again.

I wish you a day full of

Butterfly kisses

&

all the love your heart can hold~

Happy Valentines Day

my adorable friends!!

There's No Place Like Home

As I celebrated my birthday today

I shut my eyes,

clicked my heals three times

and repeated

"There's no place like HOME".

It comforts me like no where else

in this whole world.
