Waterworks – The good kind…

Second to seeing the delight etched across my kid’s faces as they dash down a white, sandy beach, one of my favorite things is watching them run through a sprinkler.  It’s so simple and yet they feel as though I’ve moved mountains, aligned stars and hung the moon just for them when I pull out […]

The Art of Taking Tea

Tea parties are a lost art.  There is something so beautiful and relaxing about sitting at a beautifully decorated table and just taking your time.  It is nearly as peaceful as a calm day at the beach – I said nearly… The tea party yesterday afternoon was perfect.  It was a beautiful day, the food […]
