happy birthday to my beautiful mom

????????????Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.    ~Kate Douglas Wiggin

Happy birthday mom! You're such a beautiful soul - compassionate, sweet, loving and kind. 

Words could never express how much you mean to me.

With love today and always,

high fives all around...

It's Friday! And there are no words to describe how happy that makes me.

Last Friday, I was malaised with the flu & a horrid case of sinusitis and was confined to my house and pjs. 

With the help of antibiotics, my mom's chicken noodle soup (or as I like to call it, the elixir of life) and supportive family and friends, I'm feeling much better now.

So today, I'm celebrating � la Audrey. Won't you join me?

baubles: fortune cookie necklace

I saw this fortune cookie charm necklace by Michelle Hartney featured on A Cup of Jo and never looked back.

I mad dashed it to Michelle's etsy site and bought the little charmer within seconds.

Wouldn't you have done the same?

Hope you're having a lovely Wednesday, friends.

Dajana (:

well said.

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." - audrey hepburn

happy birthday, christine

Happiest of birthdays to my lovely friend, Christine!

She's truly the bee's knees: the kind of ladyfriend you want to have in your corner. Forever.

new year, fresh start

??I�m back, dear friends.

Sorry for being MIA for so long.

One of the reasons I took such a long break is because I truly needed it.

The last few months of 2011 brought some unexpected challenges to my life (I won�t bore you with the details) and because of this, I just didn�t have the energy to expend to blogging.

The good news is I�m feeling like myself again (yay!) and I'm ready to return to this lil' blog of mine.

I have heaps I want to share with you and frankly, I'm pretty dang excited to be back.

Here's to an all kinds of lovely 2012!

Dajana (:
