We’ve been busy, but not the kind of busy that leads to tons of things to blog about. Just regular stuff. Katie got a new bicycle. At nine years old, we had to switch her to a ladies size bike. I so was not ready for that. I tried to talk her into this one:
But she wouldn’t go for it. It is a perfectly adorable soft blue, not that you can tell from the photo. But it is seriously covet-worthy. With a basket in front? Please. I cannot take it. But no, nothing would do but the metallic green one. My fault for trying to talk her out of the pink one. (The husband says I should just stop being a baby and get the bike already. Maybe. I do need a new bike…)
But other than that, and a stunning weekend - which was filled with baseball, softball, parties and friends - there has not been too much to blog about. I’m still busy with work, but much less than what it was the last few weeks. So I had enough of a breather to catch up with my photography class, and have some friends over last night for a little party.
I won a party from Shutterfly for myself and 14 friends to make photo books. I got to make 2 books, and everyone else got to make one, and take home a Shutterfly tote and pen, PLUS twelve free cards. Not bad, right? I think everyone had a nice time, and the books really come out great.
So that’s it from here. Just 2 posts until number 200 so stay tuned!
I hope you all have a great week, and that something fabulous happens to post about soon!
Best,
Stephanie
cute bike post-my daughter camille just learned how to ride a 2 wheeler--thought you would want to enter my new give away--two times lucky??! See you soon, Barbara
ReplyDeleteActually - sounds like lots of things to blog about - just find the right point of view, the most charming things are in the details! Anyway - your blog is lovely already ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, sweet photo of your daughter--mine just started riding a 2 wheeler! Visit HH this afternoon-I just posted a new giveaway--you may be lucky again!! xxBarbara
ReplyDeleteMy 10 year old just got an adult bike too...and it completely unnerved me!
ReplyDeleteI love the bike! I want a cute bike now:)
ReplyDeleteWait until she is old enough to drive like my son! YIKES!
HI Stephanie
ReplyDeleteWell I love that soft blue bike.. I'm sort of coveting a white one at present... had one I lent to a 'friend' and never got back.. boo hoo... but I can understand Katie's need for green.. as a child I had a serious green obsession.. and my niece as the same age did also... so I bet she loves the green model... I think you should just get the blue one for yourself...
Your Shutterfly win sounds like it was fun... can't complain about free right!! .. Well I look forward to your 200th post.. woo hoo... bring it on! xxx Julie
maybe you should just enter a contest to win the bike because you are the luckiest person i know!!!! her bike is cute, but i agree, i love the other. i think you need it. you'll need to ride with her sometimes right. take care.
ReplyDeletePlease do get a bike. I'm longing to get one too, and just might this summer.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend, dear friend. Love and hugs!
Oh how fun! I remember those days! Riding my 'ladies' bike! It was a little big back then but I grew into it nicely. I still ride my bike everyday! Oh the memories :-)
