Norah Jones, Come away with me

      
today I wish I could just climb into my car & drive ... listening to this ...
I am having a sad day & want to be swept away by beautiful music, ocean breeze, a glass of buttery Chardonnay & my soul mate....

Emersonmade- Happy Monday

Nonproductive = my day

How funny, pretending to be busy on a Monday morning is exhausting ;-)

One of my favorite ladies, adore her, is worth a share to brighten up my day and hopefully yours too.

Emersonmade is viby, funky, funny, entertaining & just all around lovely.

Enjoy!

A Big Happy 30 to The Dreamer

One of my favorite people is turning 30 today.  Happy Birthday to The Dreamer & welcome to your dirty 30's ;-)

Hubby & I are hosting his Big 30th bash in our back yard tonight & I can't wait to be surrounded by wine!  I mean our dear dear friends.

Have a great weekend Y'all.
Cheers

love love love

I love weddings!
Every detail of the day is so satisfying and lovely.  We attended such a gorgeous love filled wedding this weekend.  Beautiful couple ... love spread through the whole day like wild fire.

Hubby & I got married in May this year & quite honestly I could do it all over again, that was how amazing the day was for me and the love between Hubby & I was explosive.... and still is :)

Cheers All!

Run Run Run

I decided to start running, eish!
Yeah, my philosophy used to be: "I will only run if someone is chasing me," but with Summer rapidly knocking on our door & the whaling scale in the bathroom (Seriously, who came out with this mechanism), I decided to run...

To give our extremely active Ridgeback, Kasha, some more exercise, I decided it would be a good idea to take her with me.

Adorable right?!
Don't be fooled, she is Pierre Spies reincarnated! For you who don't know - He is one of South Africa's most athletic rugby players, & ladies, quite sweet on the eye.
Kasha is so strong & athletic and clearly needs no training in running - I lasted 15 minutes!  Short from hitting a tree face first, scaring the whole neighborhood & being totally breathless - I was stiff this morning.  Yay!  Something must have worked in that short run down the street.
I think me going down into squat runs, just so that she won't run off with me, did the job.
So here is to Ridgeback training.

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"

Well, it's official now! It's Spring! I do love the spring, that beautiful time of the year when everything around me blooms & with that my spirit blooms and I can't help myself but feel that we need to eat, drink & be tipsy.
Our garden is in full bloom with jasmine & lavender and Oh that smell... Oh oh oh.

I am totally obsessed with lavender and one day, when we own our dream farm,  we will have fields of lavender, like this:

and I will run around feeling like a little girl again, GA GA with happiness, like this:

Happy Spring everyone!
Here is to showing skin, light dishes, plenty of wine and good friends that will grow old with us!
