Charlotte's First Day of Preschool

Charlotte started preschool today, and she did so well!  I have felt stressed the past few weeks about sending her to school for the first time, and I was relieved to find out that she enjoyed it so much.  There were no tears this morning from Charlotte or Mommy!  I did my share of crying this summer... this was big for us!  It was time though, and she was ready.  Mommy was ready, too.  I look forward to having three mornings a week to myself.  My house is in desperate need of cleaning and organizing... I am so far behind.  Charlotte is looking forward to school again on Friday and that makes me so happy that she is happy!

I snapped this photo this morning right after she woke up.  Already excited about her big day!

Ready to go with her new backpack, and bunny of course.

I enjoyed a relaxing morning at Starbucks catching-up with a few of my favorite magazines.

It was a good day!

This Moment... A Summer Lunch

Really good crusty bread, drizzled with olive oil, topped with lots of fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese.  Pop it under the broiler for a few minutes, and you have the perfect summer lunch.

Lately...

Playing dress-up...

She still likes to nap... in the car.

Building very tall towers at the library.

Record rainfall on Saturday morning... twelve inches in six hours.  Since June 1st we have had over twenty inches of rain... crazy!!!  As you can see, Charlotte's pool is overflowing.  And it's raining again today.

Tonight's dinner... Whole Wheat Penne Pasta with Grilled Chicken, Snap Peas, and Feta Cheese.  It was absolutely delicious!  I will be making this again very soon!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week!

A Sweet Little Dress

My Mom recently vacationed in Charleston and brought back this adorable,  hand embroidered dress for Charlotte.  She purchased it from the Historic Charleston City Market.

It's so darling and Charlotte loves wearing it!  Even the pockets have little bees and flowers.

The perfect Summer dress!

Hydrangeas

My Mom's sweet neighbor gave me this lovely hydrangea bouquet the other day.  I just love the color combination!  It's amazing that they both came from the same plant.

They look lovely in my dining room.

I think I need to get a plant of my own to cut from!  It would be so nice to have these in my house all Summer long.
