{the colors of happiness} Surfing the wave
No no, I haven’t started surfing in the Hudson river – oh I’m sure it would be a blast to swim in all that pollution though No, it’s not this kind of wave I am talking about, but rather the wave of issues and worries. Lately I’ve received loads of great news and it’s been [...]
{Rock it yourself} Paper cut poster – with free printable
Hope you guys had a great weekend! Spent yesterday with hubby and the girls, had a relaxed father’s day with great brunch in our very favorite street of NYC (the best kept secret of the city if you ask me!). The girls and I gave him our presents – and mine was this paper cut poster. I [...]
Who’s your daddy?
With father’s day this weekend, I’ve been thinking a lot about the important dads in my life. My own daddy is a man I admire and love beyond compare. He is smart and stubborn, caring and controlling, loving and a bit of a lunatic sometimes. He has the remarkable power to makes me smile and [...]
{the colors of happiness} a flower shop
Image source. Last night my friend sent me a picture of gorgeous peonies growing in her backyard in New Jersey. Meanwhile, none of the flowers I planted with the girls back in March grew. As in zero, nada, rien de rien. Maybe using spoons wasn’t such an effective planting method after all. That, or black [...]

{let’s be honest} the 72-hour day
Life in instagrams. Are you addicted to instagram too? A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine sent me an email to ask me where on earth I disappeared to since she hadn’t heard from me in a while despite her attempts to contact me. She was rightly angry in her email, and [...]

{this weekend} let’s dream of a world that’s soft & sweet
Is this week over yet? I mean, really. It’s been quite a week, to say the least…the news all around has been so sad, and right now I am just caught dreaming about a world that’s soft and sweet. These two doors make me think of that. It’s a world where little boys don’t have [...]
