Sunday was perfection, such a tease of summer!

I know I gush a lot, but this weekend - especially our beach day for Mother's day - was downright lovely. Hot, 80 degrees, calm, sunny, high and light, whispery clouds. Coffee and healthyish  snacks for the beach (hi strawberries and cream!). A day spent with my mother, sister, and grandmother. We got treated to a little air show, some light shopping, and poking around the newly expanded post-Sandy beach.

It had been a stressful week before this. It seems at the moment my family is encountering little dilemmas lately - so this was a nice break from it all. I think it is even worse when you have to watch the people around you stress out, when it is out of your control! But as always it seems to all fall into place - which I am sure it all will. All in good time. In the meantime, I really feel like this summer can't come soon enough...all of that water glistening in the sun totally got me.

ciao! xo

the chilliest spring.

It has been the chilliest spring I can remember for a long time.

As I type this, everything outside looks a little grey.  I was under the weather, so that got me down.
By the end of the night on Friday, I knew I was coming down with a cold...
don't you hate that feeling of impending doom?
So I spent a lot of my time this weekend just resting, which is exactly what I didn't want to be doing on a spring weekend...
Luckily for me it doesn't seem that I have been missing too much outside.
One awesome part of the weekend was eating as if every day was cinco de mayo!
helllooooo fajitas! and salsa! (that was the hottest the weekend got).

Crazy idea of the weekend:
I think I am going to sign up for a kickboxing class.
I am looking into it today, but I need a new mixup to my routine.
A little personal change like that sounds really good right now.

I'll let you know how it works out..
ciao! xo

melon

nothing screams springtime like white jeans and a breezy melon-colored top.

another word that also fits with this: weekend!

have a great one! ciao, xo
