Today, I am very inspired to decorate/straighten out our cottage kitchen cupboard. –♡ You probably aren’t too impressed. Well, Darn! Straightening out this little cupboard makes me so happy.

Are you making any plans? Can I share a little secret? Little  Mademoiselle Cam’i,  is upset with me. ♡ I’m not quite sure how she figured out that I’m trying to plan a little vacation for my husband and I. Perhaps, it is because she keeps “catching” me reading all things French. (Big smile) Hmmm.. She is definitely smarter than I  already thought she was! Well,  if truth be told….(darn) I HAVE been reflecting of a wonderful trip I had taken to Paris. Joe,  and I celebrated our second anniversary there. That’s a photo of us on the morning we departed from Los Angeles, Ca. We have this little ritual,  I think it is rather sweet. (Of … Continue reading →
