This week has been busy and productive and still full of fun activities. I'm finally starting to really get this whole balance thing! Have To's & Want To's make the day a nice even trade off of getting the necessary things done, while still leaving a little bit of time for one or two fun things. I can't believe how fast the days are going by lately though...
On Tuesday, I was escorted by Prince Nate to a special Mother's Day luncheon at his school. It was so much fun and I loved getting to share some much needed one on one with my favorite little guy.
This is the card I received. And this is Nate's beautiful drawing of me. I'm purple.
And inside the card is where I discovered my true age...just 3 & 1/2- who knew!
I also learned that I give great hugs...I'm never going to let him forget that, even in front of all of his friends at his 18th birthday party...
So, I am feeling good, refreshed from the weekend (on my own) and ready to start new projects and tasks! Yesterday I bought a great selection of plants and flowers for my new bumble bee garden out front.
I am really excited about it for two reasons:
1. As many of you know, bumble bees are disappearing in mass quantities around the world and a solid answer as to why has yet to be discovered. Bumble bees pollinate 80% of the world's vegetable and fruit crops, which translates to: our food. By planting this garden, I am hoping to attract more bumble bees, thus making them happier and hopefully, more productive, if you know what I mean...
2. Finally some much needed color in our front yard! I love our yard, but come on, you can only have sooo much green!
So, now that I am feeling sooo motivated, I am going to attempt to begin making this skirt for Jules. This creative and fun blog, The Polka Dot Chair has a great tutorial for making it, so, hopefully it will go smooth! I have been trying to decide on a new sewing project, but have either been too tired or too unmotivated...I'll let you know how it goes!
Enjoy your day!

love the flowers. Bumble Bees, come on to Lexington, SC !!!!
Is that last picture your yard?! It's gorgeous. I am so envious of anyone with a green thumb--I can't even keep dandelions alive! I didn't realize this about bees--makes me think of Bee Movie (the boys just watched it today). Good luck with your garden--it's a great idea!
