"My favorite ride"


11 times...yes, we went on this ride 11 times! Timed at 50 seconds....we kept going back....
she LOVES this ride...

Now I totally understand the excitement that my folks must have felt the first time they took us kids to Disneyland....we as a couple share the excitement as we watch and play through her 6 year old eyes....thank you, Popsie and Mama.....I get it now.....how I love being a mom....my baby's mom....how great it is to share this life with my husband.....

Mickey Mouse pancake...


More pancakes.....our first visit to Disneyland as a family!! So much FUN....she LOVED it and so did we....our inner child left the "park" happy....

I don't recall the food being what it is....one of the few unpleasant things there.....the rides, though.....were great!

We had a SUPER time... :) "I wish I live here...", our girl says...repeatedly....hahahahaaaa....not...

Spiders, anyone?


Can't believe it's been more than 2 months....missing in action....
So many sewing projects, knitting projects, play dates....so busy....work....home...now it's almost Christmas!

Don't know where to start...it must have started with her Halloween costume....one project led to another....missing one day of blogging led to another....hahahaaaa....

We had spider pancakes for breakfast on Halloween morning.....she was a mermaid....it was challenging sewing nude mesh for the first time! Somehow, the dress held together even after two parties.

Life is good...so much more to share.....enjoy every moment we share....life is short....living mindfully is the key...I try to remind myself...as one of the most inspirational "teacher" of mine has passed away......I must remember to live every moment to it's fullest.....I miss you, Shirley....

Mama, look!


The weather has changed...it's grey, overcast....cold...

We decided to try something new this afternoon. Definitely took sewing to a different level!
"Mama, look!" YES. My baby made her first "yoyo" from this colourful liberty fabric! I helped her do a few little things. So confident after finishing her first sewing project at home, she asked to make a second one! *sigh* yes, I'm a proud Mama ;)

All of a sudden, she's got ten million reasons to make more...on a skirt, a headband....yes, "Can we get some pink fabric?"

Lucky me.....we can go fabric shopping together....maybe it's not too early for that little sewing machine?

life is good....

Happy toes....


"Bubble gum, bubble gum in the dish,
How many pieces do you wish?"

Our toes were having fun, playing this game in the Sun....
Ohh....it rhymes!
I love my girl....

We spent the afternoon relaxing on this bench at the Botanical Garden...drawing, sketching, knitting, lying around, listening to the birdies sing...

Watching the birdies take baths in the little "fountain", those lovely little colibri (humming birds) fluttering, feeding....

One of the best family day we've had....
