A Trip to Longwood Gardens

OH HOW I LOVE THIS CHILD!

SUCH A BEAUTY!

AND PRETTY SMART TOO, SHE KNOWS WHERE THE MONEY IS HIDING!

ALWAYS CURIOUS AND SMILING!

AWH, THAT FAMOUS LOOK OF KIRA'S.

THE GORGEOUS ORCHIDS OF LONGWOOD GARDENS

PREPARING TO GET A LITTLE WET HERE.

ABOUT 2WKS AFTER THE BIG BLIZZARD AND THEY STILL HAD ALMOST 3FT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE.

INSIDE WHERE THE AROMATHERAPY WAS OH SO DELIGHTFUL TO THE SENSES.

MAKING FUNNY FACES.

WE SURE TRY TO MAKE SEVERAL TRIP TO LONGWOOD GARDENS A YEAR AND THE ORCHID EXTRAVAGANZA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT'S LIKE STEPPING INTO A SPA WITH THE MOST DELIGHTFUL AROMAS OF SPRING FLOWERS AND MUCH NEEDED WARM HUMIDIFIED AIR AFTER A VERY COLD FEW WEEKS OF WINTER. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING KIRA RUN AROUND AND ENJOY MOSTLY THE WATER FOUNTAINS. THE LIGHTING WAS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND I COULD CAPTURE HER BIG BRIGHT EYES AT ANY TIME.

WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR AN OUTING AND CAPTURING SOME AMAZING PHOTOS OF MY AMAZING CHILD.

OH HOW I LOVE YOU SWEET KIRA!

Happy Valentine's Day

MAY YOUR HEART BE FILLED WITH THE GREAT LOVE THAT WARMS MINE EVERY SINGLE DAY!

How to act like a real Princess

MY LITTLE TOT JUST LOVES DRESSING UP LIKE A PRINCESS...EVERY DAY THAT IS! YEP, WHO NEEDS TO SHOP NOW WHEN ALL SHE WANTS TO WEAR IS HER PRINCESS OUTFITS. I SO ENJOY WATCHING HER AND STILL WONDER WHEN SHE DEVELOPED THE FASCINATION OF DRESS UP. DORA HANGS OUT IN SHORTS, ELMO IN RED FUR AND THE KAI LAN ALSO IN SUMMER GARB. PERHAPS SHE IS EMULATING ME:))

YOU DEFINITELY NEED THE SMILE AND NECKLACE.

THEN A MUST IS THE ATTITUDE!

HOWEVER, EVERY PRINCESS HAS TO WEAR LIPSTICK (SHE DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT PUTTING IT ON TOO).

NOW OF COURSE YOU PURSE THOSE LIPS AND MAKE SURE THE COVERAGE IS EVEN!
