Hello my friends. Thanks for stopping by here and sending well wishes for my little break. I am doing great and so is miss Gabriella, we have both slowed down with our activities and just enjoy little bike rides and my new rocking chair (pictured above). And smelling my white magnolia (also pictured above). You know, our May isn’t really all that lovely, it’s been raining buckets and even when the rain does stop for a bit, it’s still really cold that we haven’t parted with out winter coats. But we are still having a lovely time enjoying each other, visiting my sister, shopping with grandma or sitting back enjoying tea with a close friend. (why does she drop in every time the house is at it’s worst???) A messy house – another sign of a relaxing break…. I will get to it, eventually…. but that’s not on my ‘to do’ list right now ;)
I do hope you’re having a lovely start to May as well. Hope you’re finding time to relax and unwind as well and enjoy some space as well – it may be the best gift you can give yourself.
I also do miss going around and visiting my friends’ blogs but I am also trying to minimize my computer time to really benefit from my break. So if you’re one of my blog friends and you haven’t seen me in a while, I do miss you and I will be stopping by soon to say hello. Wishing you a lovely rest of the week. See you soon. Ella.

I love your outfit! You look stinkin cute! I hope you and little one are doing OK while your husband is away. Oh and I saw the round Coke bottles in the store the other day and almost bought some so I could put flowers in them! I have talked myself into doing it!
Ella says
You’re so cute Ashley! And way to go with upcycling pop bottles ;D

Kasia says
You are soooooooo cute!!!!! Nice boots;) Hope you are finding time to relax and do nothing at all… and don’t feel guilty, hubby gets a break, so do you!! ( And you got ripped off a bit when you compare your breaks… therefore you should come to Australia!!!!!!!) Love you!!
Ella says
Thanks hon. You’re so right that I got ripped off – how the heck did I allow this to happen!!!
Australia’s so darn far – what are you doing DOWN there from all the places in the world. I wish I could go but the flight – correction – flightS are sucky!!!

well hi Ella! I was just dropping by to say sorry I hadn’t bee here in so long, but it looks like you’re doing something similar to me. Taking a much-needed computer break. :) I have had about two months of it now, and I’m ready to be back now.
Sounds like you’re having a lovely time. As I was first reading this post I was thinking to myself, our May has kind of sucked, weather-wise, but now I see that you are getting the same kind of weather. Which is freakishly winterish.
Ella says
Thanks for popping in Amy.
You know I think your post kind of inspired me to slow down ;)
with the ‘how do they do it’????? I realized, how do I do it??? It was a good time to take a much needed break ;) The moral of the story – – we can’t do it all ;)

Angela says
Absolutely wonderful. You look so lovely and relaxed.
Katie says
I think I’d have to bring my whole life to the front of that rocking chair! So serene. Sounds like your time is too. Keep enjoying! :)
Chelsey says
You look like you’re having a great rest…
How funny that your friend stops by whenever your house is at its worst. I’m sure she loves you anyways…
