Happy Mother’s Day!

This weekend was a really special weekend. Meg and I drove down to Greenwich to spend a “ladies weekend” celebrating Mother’s Day and hosting my cousin Haley’s baby shower. It was a perfect weekend and we were blessed with delicious food, wonderful weather, and my favorite company– my family!

Haley got so many nice (and adorable) outfits and other essential goodies for her soon-to-be brand new baby girl. I’m so grateful I could help her celebrate this weekend and spend time with her before her little one comes into this world!

Here are some pics from our lovely baby shower by the sea…

I’m so happy my sister and I were able to spend Mother’s Day with our mom. And it was extra special to be with our Grammy, both our aunts, and our two cousins. A real treat for us this year!

To the best mother in the world… I LOVE YOU, MOM!

AND GRAMMY!

This was a cute picture we took right before our drive back to Boston. It just so happened we were all wearing matching colors! I love it!

See you soon, Haley and Leah! Can’t wait til little H is here!!! Love to you both!

XO.

spring has sprung

It’s official. Spring has sprung here in Beantown and I couldn’t be happier. This is one of the most perfect times in New England and I’m glad to witness the glorious change of the seasons. I very often say I don’t like winter, but without it, spring wouldn’t be nearly as special now would it?

What are you up to this weekend?

Today I’m out celebrating my dear friend Katharine and her upcoming wedding… it’s a busy day with her bridal shower and bachelorette party later tonight. A weekend of dress up and champagne: my favorite!

Today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! William and Kate are tying the knot! Lucky for me (today at least) I get up for work around 5 every day anyways, so you better believe I’m watching the coverage right now. Might have to stay here on my couch a little bit longer to make sure I get a glimpse of Kate walking down the isle in her dress!

EXCITING!!!!!!!!

I’ve really enjoyed watching all the people come in this morning. Queen Elizabeth has just entered the church as I type. I just adore Prince Harry and think he’s the cutest. It’s amazing how many people are in the park witnessing this event…. thousands!!

Ahhhhhh I just caught a glimpse of Kate in her car!

The thrill!

Happy Wedding Day William and Kate!

to my fellow teacher friends…

I meant to post this last night, but was overcome with exhaustion. This break comes at such a perfect time. My body and mind both need the time off and I will gladly take it! I will just be relaxing next week, both here in Boston, and in Syracuse where I grew up, and I can’t wait to just hang around reading blogs, going to yoga, catching up on neglected books, and watching movies and television.

I am truly going to take a “break” in every sense of the word and hopefully come out refreshed and ready to finish off the school year strong.

If you’re an educator, enjoy your week! It’s well deserved!!
