Aren’t these peonies lovely? A gentleman at work grows them in his garden and brings a bucket full to work every year! I snagged some pretty light pink ones! My office smells like heaven…..

This weekend was so much fun! My sister came to visit on Saturday, and Violet got to meet her baby cousin for the 1st time!

She wouldn’t get too close to the baby, but she did tell me that Charis was her friend…. which makes this momma happy! It was so surreal to sit with my sister while our girls napped. We have reached that new point in our lives where we are truly the adults. Life changes so quickly. Now our girls can grow up and be pen pals, maybe go to summer camp together, play games of spades until the wee hours of the night, just like my sister and I used to do with our cousins. How fun to have a whole new generation of girls!

Mother’s day was equally as lovely. My husband and Violet made me feel incredibly special. No rush to the day. I felt rejuvenated like I haven’t felt in months. I adore my family 🙂 I even was able to doodle up 2 new prints and sew a little stuffed animal for the new baby! I will share pictures at some point!

I hope that your weekend was lovely as well.

IT IS HERE!!!! Pardon the all caps, but I cannot tell you how excited I am for the 4th issue of La Petite Magazine to be available for you to read of this amazing magazine.

Personally, I am blown away by the fantastic photography, creative theme, and striking cover image. My gosh, it is incredible.

And, I know that I sound biased because I am the Design Editor of said magazine. But, take a moment to browse the online magazine and I am sure that you will agree!

Hip Hip Hurray!

And, Enjoy!

It crept up on me again…. Mother’s Day. Growing up, Mother’s Day was a big deal in my home. We woke up mom with breakfast in bed, bought her the preselected selections from her favorite little boutique, and took her out to eat to her favorite lunch spot, Panera. Yes, it was formulaic, but I think my mom liked it that way!

Now that I am a mom of my own, I don’t feel like I’ve earned that type of mother’s day. Yes, that sounds self deprecating, but I am barely getting the hang of parenting 1 little girl. Now with another baby on the way, I’ve just decided to own Mother’s Day this year.

Nathan, here are my preselected gifts! I would like pancakes and decaf coffee served to me in bed, a trip to Vintage Fellowship, followed by a meal at Olive Garden (I know you hate Olive Garden, but Lord help me I just LOVE their Alfredo Dipping Sauce!). Just sign a card from Violet and we are all set!

1.  Toms Shoes; 2. Ikea Expidit Shelf; 3. Tina Fey’s New Book (NARDS!)

Mom’s, is Mother’s Day a big deal in your home? Do you have expectations?

Hi! Remember I posted this link to a bunch of pretty cupcake recipes? Well mine didn’t turn out as pretty, but sure did taste yummy! I made a half batch so that I could limit myself two 1 a day for 6 days…. that sounds fair, right?

I feel rather behind on a lot of things, but think that I am slowly catching up with the world! Right now I should be getting ready for work, but Miss Violet wanted to snuggle in my lap for a little while. She’s cool like that. I woke up this morning to the sound of her calling my name, “Hey Stacie! Wake Up!”

Yes, she sometimes calls me Stacie. Or Mommy Bloomfield. Or Mommy. Interchangeably.

And I love it.

Hope that you have a wonderful Tuesday,

Stacie
