today is taylor's first dance recital.  yesterday was dress rehearsal and i was that mom that got teary eyed watching my daughter dance.  dance was a huge part of my childhood...i danced for 16 yrs and my parents attended countless recitals and performances. it feels really special being on the other side watching taylor do the same thing.
*i wish i was creative enough to have a ballerina inspired party waiting for her after the recital...instead it will most likely be pizza :)

i had a wonderful mother's day....my husband returned home after 5 days of traveling (best present ever), i ate delicious food, and i got to completely veg...which for me is taking a nap, bad reality tv watching, some window shopping, and going on a walk.  i hope y'all had a wonderful weekend :)

i adore this time of year....it's not super hot and buggy...you can still sit outside and not die b/c it's 100 degrees!  we caved and bought outdoor furniture. i'm excited to finally have something to sit on when we are outside.  my sweet husband spent 4 hrs last night putting it all together....i'm having girls over tonight for wine.  i bet they will be happy to have a chair to sit in instead of the ground!
