merci beaucoup...

can't believe June's ending...like i've been saying all year long...where does the time go?!

this summer is flying...loads of stuff being done everyday!

so much has happened this June but running around with munchkins in tow to all of their summer activities, really leaves me no time to update this lil' blog of mine.

when i get the chance, i'm going to share some photos of some of the
neat things we've been doing this June.

first, the kiddos celebrated their 9th b-day in memory of our sweet Angel Sinead.

this year's theme was "Fear Factor." they (we) had a blast!
then, we ended the school year on June 13th-yay!
now, everyday, the kiddos and i have been busy with science enrichment programs, get-fit camps for kids, gymnastics, cheer tumbling, cheerleading camp, pom-poms, hip-hop, guitar, youth club commission, swimming, parties, playdates, zumba (thxs kristie for discovering this!), bootcamp (thxs coach luch for the serious, motivational+energetic program) , walking track (thxs cath/jen for the inspirational walks/talks)...and more...
the month of june had so many birthdays, including mine + my sweetheart. it was very low-key celebrations. those special peeps of mine who remembered and sent sweetness our way will always be treasured in our hearts. thank you very much for making us feel so special!


oh, yes... in the midst of all the chaos...new friendships have been formed.
it's good to know that there are still nice+sweet peeps out there.
i'm just lucky to have this opportunity to share some great times with them.
i want to thank these special hearts for taking the time to wish me well.

hoping you are all enjoying these beautiful days of summer...until next time!
bonne nuit
xoxo

merci beaucoup le vendredi #3...Josephine-RedThread

due to this harsh winter we've been having, i haven't been able to post on my weekly friday posts. i apologize for that.
finally, i have a chance to thank my newest kindred spirit + sweet gal, Josephine at Red Thread

for her most thoughtful gift to me this past holiday.

Josephine has a wonderful online journal that is full of inspirational pictures of life, fashion, movies, neat things, places + people. here's a lil' bit about her and her blog (taken from her profile bio page) :

"a personal view of art/design, food/drink, books, fashion, and film connected through a different red thread (theme). this blog is named after the chinese legend that says that everyone is linked to people who have a significant impact on their lives via a red string. "

how inspirational is that! simply yet truthfully stated. i love reading her blog. it's so thought provoking!

Josephine made a set of gorgeous letterpressed "Merci" cards. i absolutely love the simplicity of the phrase, the Frenchness, the colour and the texture of the card. less is more and i truly believe that!

she also gave me 2 sweet journals, pink + green to write my thoughts, dreams or adventures...i can't wait...

also in my pack was this adorable "cuddle with love cider" by ChewingtheCud (you see how you can learn from a kindred spirit? thank you, sweet Josephine for introducing this shoppe to me...i love etsy and finding new + exciting places to shoppe for unique items...) in a muslim lil' bag...i love 'hearts' and it simply smells divine!

finally, she wrote a note to me on this wonderful letterpressed postcard 'Holiday Telegram' from ChewingtheCud printed exclusively by Flybird Press + here. I adore these types of stationaries. simple pleasures to last a whole lifetime...

thank you so much Sweet Josephine for creating sweet memories, remembering me during such a special time of the year and warming my heart through our new friendship...Je l'adore tout!

when the weather lets up and i have a few moments to myself...i'll post a lil' thank you to a special someone who sent delicious yummy treats and a gorgeous set of jewelry that is quite unique and a knockout to wear with anything! how blessed am i to have sweet + thoughtful hearts sending such love my way...totally feeling grateful...

bonne nuit...

xoxo jo ;)
