Beginning March With LOVE!

 

As you walk down 4th avenue in the west village you'll spot the most inspiring, happy decorative door designed by Carl Tallent. Each season the door at 309 is painted in various colors with themes and depending on the season he'll install flowers that will stand out and brighten up your day. Whether it's in the winter or spring you can always rely on this tiny stoop to have a decorated shiny spot to ponder and smile (and sometimes sit for a quick photo) as you walk by.

Cheers To Fifty!

Today is my 50th birthday y'all! That's a half century of living on this earth! I am so grateful to be living another day. So thankful for my friends and family who constantly think of me not just on my special day but throughout the years. All the random "hello, how are you doing?" and "thinking of you" texts are always a sweet surprise. Something that we all need from time to time. Blessings to those who have such a friend and wonderful children who write the sweetest letters. Just hearing those words "happy birthday mom" come out of their mouth without having their dad remind them is music to my ears. Adding in hugs and kisses is a bonus and I'm especially grateful to have one of my children home with me all day while I celebrate. So happy to not be spending it alone. This weekend should be all about me but it never is because I just don't allow it. But I know that I will have a great time regardless of how I celebrate. With the kids at school all day and Jon working until 9 sucks but it's okay because like I mentioned, I'm glad to have at least one of my daughters spending my 50th year of my life with me today. 

Spring Fever At Tiffany & Co.

New York City sure doesn't disappoint in the winter months. Every now and then I get the urge to get in the car and drive to the city just so I can get out of the house and be inspired! I've been getting spring fever lately and with all the beautiful pop up flower flashes that I've been seeing on Instagram has me so anxious for spring and I just crave to have a little taste of it! Tiffany's has the cutest display of spring flowers right now in their store along with a turquoise Empire State building inside. It was unbelievably breathtaking and the staff is always so inviting and courteous. I love, love the city and all that it brings especially on rainy days like this. This is the third day in a row where we've had rain so I say that Mother Nature is preparing for spring early! We shall see...

Now for a few photos that Lexie took while we were admiring everything inside from Tiffany & Co.
