Rooms that inspire me today. Thanks to Domino Magazine.

...

My favorite.

Ok people, I didn't mean ME recreate this picture. I meant one day maybe when I have a young one of my own, I'll recreate this picture. I know I look a little young but not THAT young! Thanks for the nice comments though!

I love J Crew's Crew Cuts line. I look at the online catalog all the time. Adorable clothes. Amazing pictures. Definetly worth the effort.

I'm going to keep my eye out for a vintage swim cap, so that one day I can recreate this picture.

Waiting for beautiful weather. Dreaming of Hawaii. Organized over the weekend. I organize and then I re-organize. I love to have everything put away and looking clean. I like to know exactly where everything is. I also love to throw away. When I'm in "clean out mode" anything could go. Sometimes I regret it. Like when I threw out my 2nd in the Nation trophy for my Individual Cheerleading Routine. I thought "what will I need this for? I don't want to move it to the new house." A few days later after the dumpster had taken it away, I thought, "I should have kept that."

...

Oh well.

I can see you're wondering why I've already bought Mother's Day gifts... and wrapped them. First reason is we're going to Hawaii in two weeks and the day we get home is Mother's Day. And the second reason is I knew at some point I would have to take Chloe, since I had to watch her, I thought it would be the perfect time.

I bought my mom this book at Anthropologie. It's called, "My French Life." It's about a woman who packed up her family and moved to Provence to fulfill her dream of living in France. It has beautiful pictures.

I also bought her this candle. I loved the dainty vintage jar. Perfect for her almost - finished - newly - remodeled bathroom.

A few other ideas are this beautiful pitcher.

Glass floral earrings.

Fancy perfumes.

Anthropologie makes Mother's day shopping cake.

This weekend Chloe, Grant, Riley and I went back to Deer Valley for the last day of the season.

We skied in the sunshine, and ate out on the patio.

Chloe and I also sat out on my back porch and sun tanned.

While this little bird sang to us.

Then we wrapped Mothers Day presents.

...

And watched a lot of golf. A lot of golf.

Happy Friday. I'm sure we all will be relishing in sunshine this weekend. We deserve it.

I'm really not good at cooking. However, making a meal one night a week was my New Year's resolution. I admit a lot of weeks have gone by this year where we ate only peanut butter / banana toast and cereal. But a goal isn't accomplished all at once. Last night I made stir fry. It was pretty good. I was pretty happy. I want to get into the "organic" thing now that I have a whole foods near our house. I found this recipe on Domino Mag. I think I might try this for next weeks meal. If any of you have a cook book or a source for easy recipes. Please share the info. I'm getting desperate.

Luckily I already have the cute apron. I'm hoping to one day use it.

On a side note, I want to have a wall just like this one some day.

I don't think there is anything better than spring skiing at Deer Valley on a sunny afternoon. The snow was amazing, just as good as January. I worked on my time trials (Chels I was wishing I had on your yellow skin suit... Please tell me you still have it. I guarantee I could have shaved 2 seconds with it on). And to top it off, I had a tasty cheeseburger and a Coke (I said I was limiting the Coke, not banning it). It was a happy weekend to say the least.
