Mother-daughter Day

Today was definitely a no-makeup kind of day.

(Check out those raccoon eyes haha)

I woke up at noon. I blame the rainy weather.

But today was actually a really lovely day. I spent the day with my mom. We had a really nice lunch at a local pizza place (Avanti's)
Check out this hot delicious, cheesy, saucy Country Sweet Calzone.

YUM.

We stopped for a quick shop at the grocery store, and then we went around to a couple of little greenhouses at the side of the road. Between my me and my mom, we have a very serious plant buying problem. We just can't get enough of them! There's always another and another and another that catch our eye, and clearly we must have them all. So in the end, we came home with quite a few plants

Most of them are being planted in the gardens either at my mom's house, or at the Old House, but with some of the smaller ones, and a couple of rocks as well, I made a little mini garden, of which I am very fond.

Cute right?

And then we did a little scrap-booking with some old-timey family photos.

So..pretty decent day, considering how short it has been for me. (I've only been awake a little over 7 hours)

But now I'm going to curl up and watch a movie with miss Riley.

Voyage à la Belle

So let's talk about the name of my blog...

"Voyage à la Belle" is French for "Journey to beautiful"

This is my journey to a beautiful life.

Each life is different. Therefore each person has a different meaning of beautiful life

This is mine. My simple things.

My ukulele, which has been untouched for far too long

Earl Grey. Hot. (Star Trek reference)

Two things that relax me. Somehow I haven't had much time to relax lately

I want to spend time gardening.

I want to read, and write, and create.

I want to take photos.
