When leaving swim lessons one morning my then 6yr old son walked outside into the warmth of the sunshine and said "This is the Life!" Yes, my dear it is. 
Love that the simple things can mean the most
 
Entering to win is easy : leave a comment answering the following question
 
What makes you stop and say This is the Life? 
 
(My answer - coffee, kids giggling, gazing at my sleeping angels, hearing "i wuv you mommy," my husband letting me sleep in, sitting in the green grass with a child on my lap and the smell of rain)  Okay now your turn...

I just thought, "this is the life", the other day. It was a beautiful sunny morning and Dave, Sophie and I walked Ashley 2 blocks to her bus stop to go to Kindergarten. Ashley was SO excited and Sophie was SO happy for her - and as the bus pulled up, they hugged and wished each other a good day! As we watched the bus pull away - and saw Ashley waving in excitement - I thought these are the moments you never forget and "this is the life"!

Snuggling with my baby girl in the morning before I have to get her on the bus for kindergarten. It took us 10 years to have her, and I cherish every moment I can soak up with her. :)

Watching my two girls playing barbies together, let's me know that "This is Life"!
They are precious and I love seeing them playing and getting along

Yesterday I made playdoh sea animals with my 2 year old boy, Rex. He asked me if we could bring them to the river. So we hopped in the stroller and walked down to the E. River on the Lower East Side of nyc (our neighborhood). There we sat, me on a bench, Rex in the stroller hugging a truck full of playdoh animals. We watched the river current and basked in the sun together for several minutes of quiet reflection (this is hours in 2 year old time). I thought to myself "nothing is better than this".

Happy 40th Birthday!

I'd say, being reunited with DH just the other day, that the 3 of us (hubby, little man, and I)together again, had actually made me thinking "this is the life." Wherever I am as long as I have 2 my men around, that's the life.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Rainbow love

The violet invitation design in rainbow colors with gold. LOVE, LOVE how they turned out!  I was excited when designing them digitally but seeing in print on natural white made me gush with joy! The bride loved them too.    The gold envelopes add an extra touch of excitement along with the invite and postcard rsvp. These are the save the dates, in greens and blues and grey.  (they did have rounded corners too, in my excitement to photograph while the sun was out and wind was low, I obviously forgot to round the corners) Planning a wedding or event? I'd love to work with you. Send me a note s tephanie@steliedesigns.com
