My mom arrived yesterday!! Marcia was nice enough to stay with a friend so that my mom could stay with me in the city. Whenever I have someone as a guest, I always like to have simple, warm, welcoming touches for them during their stay. I think fresh flowers are the best way to make a place feel welcoming and pretty all a the same time. I also like to have fresh fruit, cheese, and water for them to grab whenever they want - whether for a morning or midnight snack.
{brie cheese - may have been a selfish indulgent on my part!}

So far we are having a great weekend. We had mani/pedis last night followed by takeout dinner on the couch. :) This morning I took her to my favorite spin instructor's class. Now we are catching up on a few things in a coffee shop before we go get massages! Finally, we are finishing off the day at a beautiful wine bar on Charles St. with Paul. So far the weekend is going perfectly - I already don't want it to end - here's to hoping it goes by super slow! :)
Hope you all have a great, relaxing weekend as well!
