Tidbits

A few snapshots of life lately.

Just about the cutest Easter decor ever at Paper Source.

Read this book for bookclub. It was so sweet + tender, I didn't want it to end.

Me trying on the Barbour jacket (mentioned yesterday) while in Chicago.

Sweetest creamers and doily at brunch with my dad.

Most recent, and probably last snowstorm of the season. I think I'm the only person in the state still captivated by the magic of the white fluff.

Snowy night = perfect excuse for cocoa. My very favorite recipe ever here. 

(I add cayenne to the whipped cream for an added kick.)

Practicing calligraphy. Forever in love with words + doodles.

Birthday

Today is my birthday.
I love birthdays. Always have. Always will.
A reason to celebrate.
For sparkle and sweets.
For celebrating, surrounded by loves.
For saying "Yes!" to dessert.
For decorations.
For dressing up.
For reminiscing on the last year and imagining the next.

25
High: Loving our neighborhood, particularly the tennis courts by the lake and the endless summer hours spent there.
Low: Wishing for a job where my passions collide with a paycheck.
Random: Went to Vegas this year with F and my in-laws. This was my 26th US state visited; Excited to be more than half way there.

I'm thanking my lucky stars for all the blessings in my life.

On to 26...
xo, H
