2019 Philadelphia Flower Show – “Flower Power”

Mar 21, 2019

*I received tickets free of charge. All opinions shared are my own.

After growing up in the city, this was my first Philadelphia Flower Show. The floral designs throughout the show representing various countries were beautiful works of art. The FTD World Cup was the top attraction of the flower show from March 1st to 3rd. The 2019 Interflora World Cup Champion was Bart Hassam, Austria. I tried to capture a few of the designs as I walked through taking in everything.

I love flowers for adding a nice decorative touch to any room. They are also good to boost my mood. Aetna offered a both for mindfulness. The idea was to use all of your senses for the exhibit.

In addition to the floral designs, there were exhibits with various competitors for terrariums, succulents, cacti, bonsai, and foliage. In the bonsai exhibit, there was an attendee who provided information on the bonsais.

The Power of the Seasons displayed each season with items that were representative of the senses for each season.

This is a nice event for the entire family. Everything under one roof, exhibits, vendors selling everything from fresh flowers, household accessories, to jewelry. There are also food vendors as well. I am looking forward to next year’s theme.

Blogging Hiatus, My Apologies

Nov 2, 2010

Since the summer ended, I have felt so overwhelmed and super busy.   The new school year for my DS has quickly approached in full throttle.  He is in a new school which is challenging to say the least.   His increase in nightly homework has him glued to a seat for a few more hours a night.  In between this we are trying to figure out when to have dinner and back to homework, read, get ready for bed and the next day.   Lucky for me my DD has a new preschool which she loves that I discovered at the end of September.  Now while it may appear the kids are settled I decided to start graduate school to feel a sense of productivity.  In light of my unemployment status I wanted to find a way to challenge my mind.   Well, I found it because these two classes are definitely pushing my time management skills to the limit.   In between my studying and homework assignments I am trying to find activities for the kids that fit around my class schedule 4 nights a week.  Whew, can I take a deep breath?  Some highlights of the past few months, my DS is now 10 and pushing to be in the tween category, help me!  I celebrated a birthday last month and trying to create a  “how to celebrate me” plan for the next year.  My DD,  forever the princess is looking forward to turning 4 this month and spend the day getting her nails, toes and hair done for her birthday celebration.  My new schedule consists of the usual packing lunch, laundry, mealtime,  homework, getting to class on time, bedtime, reading for class and studying.   This new schedule has made my blogging time very limited.

I did manage to get away for my birthday weekend and enjoyed a wonderful spa day.  The Diner is my favorite breakfast place in the Adams Morgan section DC.  Now me and the kids are off to our new activities of basketball, swimming and gymnastics.    My apologies for the long hiatus but hopefully I can chronicle the next few weeks of busy, busy before the holidays begin…….Sleep deprivation makes me stronger, I think!

Weekend Plans-“Me Time”

Jul 22, 2010

After a 3 week workout hiatus, I am finally back in the gym.  This weekend I have some “mommy free time” and am contemplating how to use it.  In light of the major tension I can feel in my shoulders, I thought a spa visit for a full body massage was a good idea.  I did check with Le Jardin Day Spa and Salon for available appointments.    However the one thing I crave as a mom is the ability to enjoy a meal uninterrupted.  Therefore I thought a movie and lunch would be a great treat.   Since  I missed the last  20 minutes of Sex and the City I want to see it again even though the new Tom Cruise movie with Cameron Diaz Knight & Day looks like an adrenaline rush.
