Today I had a baby who wouldn't nap and a toddler jumping out of her skin. So we took advantage of the lovely spring weather to play in the yard.

This quickly turned into "let's pick flowers".

One small hitch in this plan though - flowers haven't bloomed in our yard yet (with the exception of some hyacinth that have already been man toddler-handled). After a discussion about why picking flowers out of our neighbors yard isn't really a good plan the crowd was starting to turn on me. I offered kick ball, bike riding, a walk, but no takers. It was all about the flowers damn it.

So with the natives getting restless and the screams getting louder, I improvised. I got out the clippers and cut off my ears. Just kidding. (I only considered that for a few minutes second)

We snipped a few branches off our pear tree.

And what does any 4-year-old (or 30-something) want to do with a bunch of cut flowers? Make a "boookay" of course. Amelia wanted to do her own arrangement, as all independent 4-year -olds do, so she got the milk glass and I stuck to the ginger jar. Finally a happy household.

And a bit of spring to brighten up the house.

Amelia ditched me and took her "boookay" into her room

Have you brought any flowers in from the yard yet? Is anyone else as excited for the peonies to come out as I am? I can smell them now!

Week 6 in the Bib+Tuck Forward Fashion Project - the item to style was this g o r g e o u s  clutch by Emily Cho that I felt in love with instantly.The red-silver combination and this unique shape give you the impression that you hold a small piece of art in your hands. Speaking about art,  I was wearing, once again, one of Bogdan' works: this modern necklace that I chose to wear on my way to an art gallery in town. 
It was all about Art on that day !

Is anyone else draggy today? Whoever came up with the idea of Daylight Savings obviously did not have kids. A sick joke is what it is really.

But on to happier things - like the latest issue of Lonny Magazine. Nothing makes me happier than sitting out in the warm sunshine with my laptop and ice tea reading it page by page. For those of you that follow me on Pinterest, you know I'm pinning this issue like a crazy woman.

I always find amazing things to add to my wish list, like this (which would look great in my bedroom)

A new dress, courtesy of SUGARLIPS  I was wearing it a few days ago on a perfect sunny day! I chose this crochet dress not just because the trend is in the air but also for the great look and versatility. I chose to wear it with a yellow top underneath ( for a drop of color ) and leather jacket and flats. You can find this dress here , among other beautiful garments .
