Sunflower Sunday

…And life itself exhaling that central breath!

Bring me the sunflower crazed with the love of light. -E.Montale

This weekend I wandered paths full of sunflowers, and perhaps dressed in matching colors so I would coordinate well with the floral scenery. Have you tried the collage effects in PicMonkey? I am loving it. Thanks, PicMonkey. I finally stopped crying over Picnik closing thanks to you. Using PicMonkey plus instagram is a girl’s geeky camera dream come true. What about you, dear reader? Are you wandering real or web paths today to soak up some sun and flowers?

Mother’s Day is here again, and still no quiet to be had at chez Lemondrop.

May 13, 2012 By marie 5 Comments

This is the second Mother’s Day for us at Chez Lemondrop, and we are excited to see the changes it has brought us. The Littlest Lemondrop can walk everywhere (whether we want him to or not as you can see below). And he has lots to say. His favorite words are Dog and Ball, and BOO! Hope you have a lovely day with family, warm wishes from ours. The LLD has his own twitter account now, so if you’d like to see the daily mischief you can follow him here. We won’t tweet diaper news.

Today I don’t feel like doing anything

September 19, 2011 By marie 5 Comments

This weekend we had something unusual… rain! We need it so badly and are so grateful for any. So some of the weekend was spent in bed with books, especially when the electricity was out Saturday afternoon. We did not feel like doin’ anything at all…

The little Lemondrop and I often read on the bed, this time he picked the books. This month I have read, The Winter Solstice, City of Fallen Angels, Thin is the New Happy, Little Bee, The Grim Legacy, and am now just browsing magazines for a nice little mental break before I try something weightier. Of course, some of my reading material is only weighty for 13 year old boys, but I love a good fantasy yarn in between the What to Expect series of books for new and panicky mothers. I really enjoyed Thin is the New Happy, a memoir of life chasing a fashion ideal.

What are you reading?

If you feel like entering a giveaway instead of just laying in bed, I am hosting two! Eyeglasses and a cute necklace- great fall accessories you should win…
