Hi Beauties! The weather has been so glorious this week that I don’t even care if it’s raining today, I have errands to run anyway, lol. It is the weekend to celebrate moms, not just moms of kids, but moms of fur babies, moms to be, bonus moms, future moms, women who mentor us as moms, and so much love for those who have lost their precious moms, and those who may not have a relationship with their mom. I am beyond blessed to still have my mama here and in good health and engaging in lots of shenanigans with me! She is the best!
1. Day with Mama
Speaking of mama, we had a spectacular day, going to our local Wellfield Botanical Gardens to see the spring blooms, she and Mr. Nine and I, along a Stella Mae signed up to be members and next summer we can get a grandparent membership, lol! We both felt very springy so we captured some pictures. I love my new little compact tripod for taking along on adventures like this.
2. cabi Beaming
The sweater I wore is one of the new releases from my beloved, cabi! It is called the Beaming Sweater, and what a fitting name, because the bright yellow is so sunshine like, and the puff sleeves are so charming! I just love it! I wore the cabi Romance Scarf in my hair and felt blooming sweet!
3. Spanx Gift for Mom
My mama has been loving, all my Spanx lately, especially the air essentials, namely, the Half Zip, which happens to be my favorite piece as well. So guess what she got as an early Mother’s Day gift? I hope you saw the Instagram stories with her reaction. If not, check out the Spanx highlight reel on my Instagram. You can get some fabulous Spanx pieces for yourself and or your mama too and at a discount with code CLOUDNINEXSPANX. OH and the Fab Striped Porch Rug HERE (it's so good)
4. Nature
I remember that on my summer Friday favorites I usually do a little segment on nature because it is abundant around us. This will often include my beautiful posies, and I can shirt starting to share flower tips on my Instagram stories, especially on Tuesdays. I planted my last pass this week in a few perennials and I’m so glad to have everything in the ground with no signs of have to covering up for frost like I did last year.
This week my orchid-colored Azalea was at its peak so I had to snap this photo.
After I spend 45 minutes wearing all my flowers, I love to sit by the pool in the evening, so serene! Tousled and tired from the day but all's good!
And sweet Stella, every day we go for two laps around the pond, and she’s always mesmerized by the wildlife, especially the darn geese. What she doesn’t know is how mean they are, she just wants to play with them and doesn’t understand why they don’t, lol.
5. Misc. Fun
POST OF THE WEEK
PARFAIT
So mad I don't have photos from my Aunt and Uncle's visit this past weekend, but I did get a pic of my Strawberry Crunch Parfait. MEMES
Are you doing anything fun this weekend? I am very much looking forward to Sunday brunch with my peeps, wish all my boys could be there, but you know, geography and jobs, lol. We are going to the same place we went last year, which is a local Italian restaurant that does a brunch so incredibly well and everything is made from scratch, I told Mr. Nine I will be eating 18 mini cannoli’s, lol. And I will be sampling all 100+ items, no just kidding but I’m going to eat a lot.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY and WEEKEND!!!
xoxo
