Happy Birthday, Mom...

Today, we celebrate a woman who has always been there for me and who continues to always inspire me. She has taught me to dream and to know that anything is possible if you trust God. 

Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you. 

Peace and Love,

Mother's Day 2014...

I hope all of you were able to give your mom a hug or at least a phone call just to tell her that you loved her today. I can't imagine going through life without my mom- she is my best friend and my biggest supporter. Mom, I love you to the moon and back- thanks for being the best! And to all of the incredible moms out there, here's to you. 

Peace and Love,

The Perfect Fall Day...

Last week my Aunt came to town and we decided to take a little day trip up to Glen Mills, PA. My mom and I had been dying to go back to Terrain and seeing as my Aunt is an interior decorator we thought that she would love it. I love the drive up to Glen Mills; you get to go through Baltimore and Wilmington and it's just very relaxing to me. It took us about two hours to get there and so we decided to start our little adventure off with lunch. We ate at Harvest and had the most incredible meal. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh Autumn weather while sharing deserts of pumpkin pie, chocolate peanut butter cake, and oreo cake. 

After lunch we headed down to Terrain. I've talked about it before but it is really a magical place. They had so many gorgeous pumpkins and Autumnal displays that it really got me in the mood for Fall! Mom & I picked up a few pumpkins for the house and then we all spent some time shopping around. It was so fun to just go around and look at all of the displays and get inspired. 

After a few hours at Terrain we decided to go down the street to Homegoods. My Aunt, Mom, & I are obsessed with decorating so you can only assume that we were going to do some damage here. Plus, this particular Homegoods is like the mothership; it is so huge and is combined with a Marshall's. I didn't end up buying anything but my mom and my aunt walked away with some goodies. Our final stop was to Starbucks for coffees for the drive home. I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season and it was the perfect ending to our Fall day. 

It was such a great trip! I had such a fun time with my mom & aunt and it was so nice to just relax and have fun without worrying about work or anything else. I hope that there are more days like this to come! 

Peace and Love,

Fridays Are My Favorite...

Fridays are currently my favorite day of the week. Friday is the day that I get to hang out with my mom, just the two of us. We started off the morning with coffee and breakfast sandwiches, which were delicious by the way, and then followed that up by watching Skyfall. We also spent some time doing some online shopping and snuggling with the puppy. I was also able to finish a book today and I am halfway through another one. I'd say it was a pretty great Friday! 

Peace and Love,

Christmas 1964...

I came upon this picture of my mom the other day. It's from Christmas 1964. Of course I love old photos, but old Christmas photos are the best. Perhaps its all the tinsel that makes this one so magical. 

Peace and Love,

A New Pair...

Today I finally got a new pair of glasses. I have had the same pair since I was 13 and it was time for an update. I knew that I wanted a big "geeky" pair and rayban had exactly what I wanted. I also got to have a little date with my mom at California Pizza Kitchen. We split a Caesar salad, Hamburger Pizza, and a slice of red velvet cake. YUM! Today was good :)

Peace and Love,

My Rockstar Mom...

I have the best mom in the world. She works a day job and still makes the time to be an amazing wife and mother.

My mom is always there for me.

I know that I can tell her anything and everything.

My mom inspires me.

She is super cool.

She always knows how to make everything better.

She puts everyone else before herself.

I couldn't ask for a better mom.

So mom,thanks for being my mom. I love you to the heavens and back.

Peace and Love,

Em
