Hello! My name is Michele and I'm addicted to little totes. I really can't help myself! These cute little canvas gift bags were found in the clearance section at target. Love that these are re-useable.
It doesn't take much to make me happy!

A Farmer's Market visit, a little laundry, a birthday party, accounting homework, listening and singing on the computer, front living room clean up including vacuuming, a little Wii playing - that was our Saturday.

The girls are finally out of school and we've spent the last two days at the neighborhood pool. I forgot how at peace I feel as i'm floating in the water and looking up at the bright blue sky. It's one of my favorite places to be during the summer.

It's our first visit to the market down the street and man...have we been missing out. We walked away with lots of fruit, a loaf of fresh bread and some staple items such as garlic, onions, and zuchinni. The next time we go back I want to purchase a small crate of farm fresh eggs and a bouquet of flowers.
I love this time of year.

I can't describe the feeling that I get as I watch Nyna develop deep friendships with girls she's known since kindergarten. I never went through this with Anna so this really is new territory for me. Somedays the stories she shares with me can be so frustrating but then other days I am so excited for the possibilities of where their friendships will take them.
My heart was so happy seeing Nyna in her element at her 'almost 10' birthday party. Being able to celebrate your day with the girls you spend ten months of your life with is really truly something special.

This is the last school evening event of the year. I love that the PTA sponsors this creative function. It's one of our favorites to attend. Watching parents engage in the activities with their kids is one of the coolest things to see.
I truly believe that creative messes are the best.

My girls.
You can either find them laughing or arguing.
With only two weeks left of school, I'm already thinking about the amount of time they will be spending together. And as much as they enjoy each others company, there are moments that separation is in order.
But when they are truly getting along and I hear their laughter throughout the house, I get a little jealous that I didn't grow up with a sister.

week 17 - she was watering the grass one afternoon. in her jammies and her hair up in a bun, i caught a glimpse of the young woman that she's turning into. i felt a little lump in my throat. i think it was how her hair was falling. just right above her neck. no longer a little girl.
week 18 - my mom loves her garden. she tends to it every morning. there is something about her backyard that is so magical. i feel at peace everytime i walk through this space. it's home.
week 19 - when i pull into the garage these are the first things that i see. it makes me smile everytime.
