This week's 'Til Monday features a photo I found on Pinterest. I was looking for a relaxing image, and instead found a magical one. Hope you're having a weekend full of magical experiences.
This week is going to be very exciting! We'll have a guest Off The Counter post by Gretchen from Kumquat, I'll take you window shopping at Bergdorf Goodman, reveal Cocoon Home Design's new services and share some Valentine's Day ideas for your loved ones (big and small).
So stay posted...
Tonight at midnight, the Chinese New Year begins. It's the year of the dragon and Bergdorf Goodman's windows are ringing it in a highly fashioned way.
According to Chinese astrology, people born on the year of the dragon are said to be strong, self-assured, eccentric, intellectual, and passionate.
The season for reflecting, giving and being thankful continues with the celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday this Monday. Let us all remember that "the time is always right to do what is right".
Last year, the kids and I attended Many Helping Hands, Cambridge's first annual MLK day of service. We helped make Valentine's Day cards for the elderly and sorted donated food and clothing. It was a memorable experience for all of us and we're looking forward to doing it again this coming Monday.

This week's 'Til Monday features a playlist our 6 year old Max put together for me recently. It consists of just three songs, but three REALLY great ones. Max loves music and is already designing the album cover for his first platinum record.
Enjoy!!!
Listen and dance....
1. California Soul -Marlena Shaw featuring Ya Boy
2. Just fine- Mary J. Blige & Ya Boy
3. Electric Feel - MGMT
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
The time has come for a new year and with it comes an opportunity to reflect on the past and plan for the future. Last year, I had 3 distinct resolutions, some came to life, others...not so much. Regardless, I had a wonderful year in all respects: family, friends, health and work. I can only hope to be as blessed in the coming year as I was during the last.
Before I run off and begin celebrating, I'd like to leave you with a few things that have intrigued me, kept me wondering and ever dreaming...
A Sprouted Kitchen and a nutty delight.
What it would have become if it had happened...
A dream vacation home.
Spring's bold look and a place to wear it.
My favorite accessory and the perfect lipstick.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
