Loving the gorgeous Spring weather we are enjoying here in New York. I wore this great clover color fully lined linen jacket from Chadwicks to a mom-daughter event with my daughter this weekend. It is fitted just the way I like my blazers. I am wearing it over jeans and a simple top and to work over a Spring dress. Love the versability!

I have to admit this is one of my favorite events to attend each Spring. TTPM Spring Showcase!
This year was about hands on get out and play kids and bring your parents and grandparents with you! Loved the Pacific Play Tents – oversized play tents, houses and tents!!
Hasbro has what my grandsons will want me to play with them. Transformers fun and dinosaur hands!
Alex Toys has rainy days all taken care of. I will be doing some arts and crafts with Liam my 8 year old grandson, making and trading BRO bands! So sure that 10 year old Natalie will want to join in the fun!
Who doesn’t love bubbles that make fart noises? Thanks to Sky Rocket Toys It will be a close tie between the grandkids and my son in law!!
This carousel is so unbelievably amazing to watch. I don’t know how long it will take but I do know how much my grandchildren love playing in Lego toys. It’s going to be a great Spring and Summer!
Over the weekend I joined my daughter at Trollbeads to celebrate moms and daughters.
My niece Sandra, Merci’s daughter Erica and my granddaughter Natalie were there too.
Besides being a gorgeous Spring day we were surrounded by beautiful beads, jewelry, people, flowers and love.
What a fun way to give a personal gift, you hand pick the bracelet, necklace, ring or earrings. Then you design it your very own way to match your style and your wallet.
There are also many ready to purchase jewelry letting you make someone happy on the spot! We ended the day on a real sweet note, enjoying these yummy lollipop bites. Yes, we all went home happy!

This is the second year my grandson will be playing soccer. When he played last year it was a total bust. Christian didn’t seem to like running around the field with the team. He would just walk around, on the field, acting like he has no idea why he was in the park, and running after a ball that you cannot even pick up with your hands. He was confused to say the least.
But this year. Olala! Christian grasped the game and understood that in the game of soccer you don’t use your hands just your feet on the ball.
We were all so happy to watch him play the game. And he impressed us with his soccer ball moves. 
Now his position as the goalie was something to watch. He truly understood that the ball cannot go past him and into the net. Christian’s focus was all in the play of the game. No way was that ball going to roll into that net, you could just see it in his face.
“Kick it Christian, kick It!” We all screamed.
“Come on Christian, kick the ball!!!”
And without losing his balance or train of thought, he picked up his little leg and KICK…right out goes the ball. No score here today. Who knew! Who knew that this little guy would be a powerful goalie. His mom told me he scored two goals in the last two games.
We all scratched our heads. We just could not understand how he made a three hundred and sixty degree turn around in playing this soccer. But I do have my guess about how or why he had improved. See, he likes one of his team mates. Savannah is her name. Christian is very happy that Savannah is playing, and playing on his team.
Is he Impressing his new found friend? I think so. Yup, Savannah got Christian to be best at his game…I always knew it took a women to make a man. GOOOAAL!
My grand niece turned two this April 25th.
I think that when a child reaches the age of two they can show adults how to have fun and not take life so seriously.
It was easy for little Emma to put on a too-too and never have to learn any ballerina positions, not even a plie.
Then doing a quick change and becoming Elsa, the Snow Queen. Who cares that the outfit was a little big, a perfect fit would not have been as much fun.
Elsa stickers was a great gift for Emma. But sticking the stickers on your eyes was even greater. 
When it comes to birthday cakes Emma just cupped it. 
And it didn’t seem strange that Batman stood along side of Emma to help blow out her # TWO candle. 
All in all the kids made Emma’s birthday special.
The older ones always seem to take over but this two year old never complained.
I think Emma enjoyed every moment of turning two. I also think Emma knew that we all loved her
to the moon and back.
Now that’s a lot of LOVE!
