Its not Provence...but its pretty.

Coffee with a view

I can't believe we are going to be heading to Provence in 2 weeks. 

I really do feel like the 

luckiest woman, wife and mother alive right now. 

Madeleine and I have been out 

doing a bit of shopping for the trip. 

We will be spending a week in Switzerland before Provence, so its tricky trying to figure out what clothes to pack. I follow several blogs of women who live somewhere in Paris and Provence. They post such beautiful striking photos. I am always dreaming of being somewhere equally as sensational and exotic. I do love my home though, but I am 

constantly dreaming. 

Here is the view I wake up to every morning. 

First the sky starts out a sweet, hazy, pink color. It gradually changes into a pinkish-orange before the sun peeps over the red brick wall in the back yard. 

The yard is such a cute space, very cozy and sweetly landscaped. I'm not a gardener by any means but since moving into this house this year, I have planted a few flowering plants in the yard that have actually bloomed pretty flowers (and they are all still alive at the end of the summer). Anyway, as I am dreaming of far away spectacular places that I either will visit soon or that I dream of visiting... I just wanted to show my own little corner of the world and that I am happy to be just right here too.
