once in awhile...



is it already the last weekend of September... where does the time go?

there's already a chill in the air...leaves are falling...warmer jackets are being put on...

what a weekend...fall clean-up, packing summer stuff up and getting into the fall groove...

looking forward to creating something special for someone who deserves a
lil' surprise~i haven't forgotten...just wishing time was on my side...this surprise will hopefully make it in time for one of our favourite holidays...Halloween!

In the meantime, the munchkins, dear hubby + i had a sweet family dessert date...what a nice way to mark the end of summer...
Do you have any traditions to mark the end of Summer and welcome Fall?
Here's to a delicious end to summer...
au revoir hot sun, bonjour crisp, fall air!

Those Special Hearts...

{created by me: labour of love}


10 years...

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was early morning, I was downtown at work in Chicago, when a colleague had his tv on in his office and said something weird was happening...World Trade Center was on fire...then we all saw the second plane hit the second tower...burst of flames, black smoke, we were dumbfounded, and utterly scared for those trapped in the buildings and the horrible thought that something terrible has gone on...then my hubby called me and said something I will never forget...
"Terrorists hit NYC and America is in danger"...I thought I was in the twilight zone...
he then told me to get out of work and meet him on the train to go home...

That day changed the world forever.

I will never ever forget the many hearts that were taken. Life cut short for so many innocent people. Lives lost in a second. Families torn. The world in chaos. The kind hearts that helped. The very meaning of unconditional love pouring out to so many...

Today, I will always remember all those special hearts...our Heros...

September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten.

My three little miracles were created 2 months after this tragedy...and I am truly grateful to God. He brought us hope among the darkest day...and I will continue to keep those special hearts in my prayers...
as the loves of my life keep burning bright lights for the future...
