Girls just wanna have Sun
Happy Sunday! I realize it has been months since my last post, but summer truly flew by this year. Nonetheless, it was a great one. I am happy to say we made more memories as a family-visited fabulous Montreal, celebrated 4th of July in Cape Cod, Grace explored more museums in our nation's capital, took many weekend trips to our favorite New England towns and discovered some more hidden spots.
I am looking forward to the new season and hope to show up a little bit more on the blog as things slow down.

Paradise Found
I truly don't know why it took me so long to visit Miami, considering nothing makes me happier than the sight of palm trees and "The Birdcage" is one my favorite movies, but as they say better late than never. Miami was every bit a slice of paradise with its cosmopolitan food scene, art galleries, and turquoise waters, I can't wait to go back and explore new wonders and maybe drive down to the Keys next time.

Girls in the City
Happy weekend everyone! I have been on a hiatus for a while as life has been incredibly busy lately. A week ago we celebrated Grace's 4th Birthday and decided to spend a weekend in NYC before heading to Miami for some fun in the sun-more posts to follow. We cannot believe we a have a four year old in the house- a strong willed, compassionate, opinionated, smart, curious, loving four year old. Watching Grace grow has been the greatest joy of my life and I am forever grateful for being her mama.

Happy weekend!
Spring is only 25 days away, but who's counting! Well, maybe I am. After being cooped up at home nursing a terrible cold, I am craving sunshine and warmth. Today's post is inspired by Grace's (and probably yours truly) favorite color and book series .
I hope you have a fantastic Sunday filled with your favorite colors!

Cape Elizabeth
Happy Thanksgiving!!! It is going to be the coldest one in years. We had initially planned on going on a family trip but after Grace got sick early this week we decided to stay home instead and give her time to fully recover. So, we decided to cook our traditional dinner (husband got the last 20 lbs. turkey at the local market) and maybe attempt to decorate the house for the holidays later today. Speaking of holiday traditions, I wanted to post some photos of Grace taken over the Summer as I do every Thanksgiving, however in true Mercury retrograde fashion the photos have disappeared despite me checking my computer files for hours. I am still a little upset about it but there is nothing like a visit to the ER with a feverish child to give you some perspective in life. There are so many things that I am thankful for this year: my immediate and extended family first and foremost, our health, my work, amazing colleagues and wonderful patients, this blog-a window of creativity, old and new friends, hot chocolate, Grace's hugs, kindness of strangers, and unconditional LOVE among other things.
I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! Be safe and enjoy your day wherever life takes you!

Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport is a quintessential New England fishing village most famous for its bed and breakfasts, seafood restaurants, and picturesque views. And as much as I like visiting in the summer I generally try to avoid the crowds, the traffic and long lines, hence our yearly Fall trips to Maine. There is something so charming about visiting a tourist hub off-season. We drove around town, grabbed a coffee, then stopped for lunch at a quaint restaurant with the most gorgeous views of the river. I hope you enjoy the pics!
Love,
Blerina

Last Autumn Flowers
Happy Friday eve friends. We are bracing for the first snow of the season later today. It is always fascinating to witness the change of seasons right before our eyes. But before we transition to all things Winter I wanted to share a few pics taken on a cozy autumn day.
Love,
Blerina

Happy Saturday friends! I can't believe October is almost over. Weeks have been flying by and we have been trying to make the most of our weekends before the weather turns too cold. The whole region is under a nor'easter watch today, which means lots of indoor games and piles of children books reading, but I wanted to share a few pics taken at a local park on a crisp New England fall day.
Love,
Blerina

La Vie est Belle
Happy Saturday friends! As I get older I am trying to get into the mindset that every day should be a celebration. And this weekend in particular I would like to celebrate all mothers and mother figures around the world. They are life itself and they make everything possible!
Love,
Blerina

Lately
Hello friends!!! I hope you are having a great weekend so far! I've been wanting to share updates periodically for a while and I am glad to finally do so in this post. Although I enjoy the artistic side of blogging, being an introvert, I've always found it difficult sharing more of my personal life. It is something that I have been thinking about it lately and I have decided to hopefully add more to the blog by reaching out to readers through open communication and by sharing more of myself. So here goes the first one.
- Life: Grace turned 3 this past Tuesday and I have had so many feelings all this week. Mostly feelings of joy to see her grow but bittersweet as well. I can hardly believe my baby will start preschool in the fall. I will share some pics of her birthday celebration on my next post.
- Reading: One of the things I miss the most of my younger years is finding time to read new books. Now that Grace is getting older I am making reading a priority for myself as I hope it would install in her a love of books just as my family did for me when I was a young child. Currently I am reading "All the light we cannot see"bu Anthony Doerr.
- Listening: I typically listen to my local NPR station when I drive but I have decided to take a break for a little while. Instead, I am listening to amazon music and I am currently obsessed with The Corrs. As a matter of fact I am listening to The Corrs Unplugged (recorded in 1999, yet so many great songs) as I am working on this post.
- Wearing: Let's face it. I spend the majority of my working days in scrubs and evenings in athleisure, but weekends and date nights have mostly been denim& a cute top.
- Fitness: My goal is to exercise a minimum of three times a week. My husband and I were planing on alternating workout days after work but so far it has not happened. I do love hot yoga but now that we are heading into warmer months I would much rather go for a run on the beach. Also, I have been eyeing a rowing machine for months and I just might have to take the plunge. Will keep you updated.
- Watching: Since I finished The Crown, I have not watched any new shows worth recommending. I did however, watch a great documentary on HBO last week-Arthur Miller: Writer. Filmmaker Rebecca Miller presents a portrait of her father. I thought it was very moving and honest. I highly recommended it.
Ok friends, these were my updates for the month of April. If you have any input or recommendations you would like to share I would love to hear from you!

Chasing Spring
Happy weekend friends!! As I am writing this paragraph I am looking at tomorrow's forecast predicting snow showers early in the morning. Words can't describe how much I long for sunshine and blooms. But, as they say:"If you dress for it Spring will come".
