a perfect ending
It was Dylan's last day of soccer for the summer season last Saturday and it ended better than any mommy could ask for. Of course they don't play actual games, but just games for fun - no goalies, no scores. So on the last "fun game", my son got hold of the ball and he started kicking it. His team and the other team were trailing behind him.
"Go Dylan, go!" we yelled.
He kept kicking and running and getting closer to the goal. He did one final kick and the ball went straight in! He threw his fist in the air out of pure excitement and came running to us as we gave him the biggest high-fives ever. We were so proud of him!!!
We told him he deserved a prize for doing such a great job. What did he ask for?
Macarons.
Oh, he is so my son.

soccer kicks & disneyland dreams
This Saturday will be my son's last day of soccer for the summer. I'm so happy that he's having so much fun playing the game. The kids are so cute and entertaining to watch! We enjoyed it so much that we signed him up for the Fall season!
The other night as I was putting him to bed...
Mommy: It's time for us to go to sleep now. I'm gonna close my eyes and dream of Disneyland.
Dylan: Ok. I'm gonna dream of Disneyland, too. I'll meet you there!

fashion forward friday
I've been away for a while, but I'm back! Things have been so crazy with endless weekend events. Summer is always such a busy time of the year for me and I can't believe it's July already. There are so many fashion trends that I'm in love with this season, I feel like I can't even keep up. Some recent news that I'm super excited about is a Winter collaboration with Target and Neiman Marcus, including designers such as Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, and Jason Wu just to name a few. Very exciting!
Over the past few weeks, I've had time to shop for some new shoes. Next to boots, flats are my all-time favorite! Ankle strap flats and boat shoes have been catching my eye like crazy so I finally snagged a pair of each for myself.
Love BCBG and Sperry! :)

happy birthday, blog!
Yesterday marked the one-year birthday for my wonderful little blog! I can't believe it's been a whole year already. This is very bittersweet because I have neglected my blog for the past few months. I've been feeling guilty and sad over it. I worked hard to maintain this on a weekly basis and since starting my full-time job in December, I haven't been able to do so 100%. I didn't want this to happen, but I know all of you can agree with me that life can just get too busy and hectic to do everything! And that's exactly what's happened. My week and weekends have been extremely busy. Any downtime I can steal away are spent taking a nap or just resting.
Since this is the "first birthday" of my blog, I thought I'd share some of the things that I've done or in the process of doing for the first time.
Bikram Yoga - I tried this for the very first time with my friend recently and although it was unbelievably hard, I really loved it. I have never sweated that much in my whole life, but it definitely was a good feeling. Very refreshing and relaxing afterwards! Hopefully I can master those difficult poses in no time!!
5K Marathon - Running a marathon has been on my bucket list for a while now and after my failed attempt last year, I am so ready to do it this year! A good friend and I will be running the 5K for See Jane Run here in the Bay Area on June 3rd. I've never been a runner and haven't been very active since my son was born so this will be quite a challenge and an accomplishment for me. I have been training for a few months and now I have a month left to go. I can't wait!!!
Wine Tasting - I've been living near Napa Valley my whole life, but have never gone wine tasting...until last weekend. It's been something I've been wanting to do, so I was really excited to go. It was a beautiful Saturday, perfect for wine tasting. I think I'm hooked now because I told my boyfriend that I want to go again with him next time and I'm even thinking of joining a wine club.
