The Ice Cream Parlour Buffet


Let's have some
Ice Cream!



No reason really...

except that it will make us smile....

&

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


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

~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,



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!!

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.
