“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.” 

~A.A. Milne

Have a wonderful (relaxing) labor day weekend! Spend it where it counts : )

Kitchen Dreams.

So Sam and I have started getting our first wedding gifts…. : ) We are so excited and so blessed! Although, I have to admit it has been a struggle for Sam to understand the whole “registry thing”. For whatever reason, he just can’t wrap his head around why we need so many glasses, dishes, and sets of silverware. Why can’t we just ask people for money?? Ugh… Men. Well my Love, let me count the reasons why…

But most importantly….

For this.

Sure, having a beautiful array of dishes and servers are Lovely. And I mean L-O-V-E-L-Y. But most importantly, it gives us a wonderful start to a long life of fabulous memories, dinners, and fun with the people we Love most. Our supporters, our family, our dear friends, each other. Hell, we just got a set of wine glasses and a beautiful bottle of wine. What better way to show our gratitude then by having our first couples dinner party??? Eek! So excited already. And we got a newlywed cookbook too. Now if I can just get our dinner to look like the picture… hmm….

All my Love,

Beatriz.

I Just Keep Coming Back.

True fact. I believe we each have soul mates that we can’t help but be drawn back to time and time again. Be it Friend. Be it Lover.

All my Loves: You are magnetic to me.

Muah!

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

~ Unknown

I have no words for the excitement I feel today. Sam and I are having a beautifully casual engagement party in our sweet little home town. I can’t wait to catch up with old high school friends we shared so many laughs with and college friends who have stolen our hearts along the way. I am so blessed to have shared my life with such beautiful souls. I can’t wait to see everyone! Eek!

Have a wonderful weekend. Spend it where it counts.

Our Little Slice of Zen, The Bedroom.

 {1}

Remember this photo? Every time I see this little snapshot of heaven I want to be her. I want a bed like that. I want a perfectly minimal, organic space where I can reach my ultimate relaxation and peace. Yum… As with most things in my home, there is always room for continued evolution to transform into something even more inspiring. That being said, I’m feeling pretty good about our little slice of zen I call our bed.

  

What do you think? What do you need in a bedroom?

All my Love,

Beatriz.

 

Operation Bubble Bath.

Oh my…. oh my oh my oh my…. You know those moments in your life when you take a second to stop and look at your to do list, and you’re like, holymotherofgod how am I going to get this all done without LOSING MY MIND and do little things, like I don’t know, SLEEP? So I’m trying to be strategic. First, I’m pulling the white flag early. “I need help”. Do you ever notice how hard it is to ask for help sometimes? I learned that one the hard way... I have tried being superwoman before. But I’m just Woman. And as much as I LOVE being a woman and feeling free and empowered to do anything I set my mind to, I can’t do it all simultaneously without something giving in in my world. Something’s gotta give. ALWAYS. So I asked Sam to clean the house by himself on Sunday while I took care of some wedding homework. And guess what. He did it. And he didn’t die. And the roof didn’t collapse on top of me because it wasn’t done “my way”. Second? I’m taking it to therapy. All kinds of therapy. There are so many things at our immediate disposal that are uniquely therapeutic.

Today’s list of therapy for Bea:

Bubble Bath Therapy.

Pup Therapy.

Nismo and I had a wonderful little walk together tonight. The sun was setting, the temperature was dewy and cool for once. The trees were so welcoming in my time of need. Now it’s quiet. Sam is out of town on business and I have the house to myself. Bubble bath time : ) I can’t wait to take a little extra time tomorrow for more “therapy”.

I’ll keep y’all updated on the rest of my “therapy” as I try to keep my head above water between now and the wedding. I’m actually getting pretty excited about planning Bea time in the midst of all my other things to do : )

What is your therapy?

All my Love,

Beatriz.
