Celebrating the milestones

I recently attended a stunning all white party at my brother’s home in Sunset Beach. My sister in law turned 30 and had planned the most spectacular farewell to her twenties and grand hello to her thirties. It really got me thinking about how I spent my 30^th, not at all thrilled at leaving my twenties behind. I was not happy at the prospect of being a “thirty-year-old”, and despite my achievements I felt as if I still had so much to do!

Final check before heading out

I actually forgot my camera, and the lighting was so muted, my picture quality is not at its best :(

Birthday girl, Simin, and I

Some really delectable desserts

And some more....

Seeing Simin (my sister-in-law) address this milestone birthday with such open enthusiasm made me realise that’s its best to celebrate the here and now. It’s important to realise that tomorrow is not a certainty, so do what you dream of or aspire to and enjoy every minute of every day.

Somewhere along the line I may have gotten side-tracked and forgotten this mantra. It could be mommy duties, work responsibilities and time passing so rapidly that I did not pause and step back from the rat race.

The party was sensational to say the least. The décor was stunning, white paper lanterns strung along the ceiling and the trees had twinkling fairy lights. The entertainment took the form of belly dancers and fire dancers. It was different and so much fun! The belly dancers gave lessons while the party continued with dancing, good food and lovely company.

What a divine weekend, after another crazy work week- we got to spend some special time with family. The weekend started with a relaxing Friday evening….

Saturday was my niece, Imrah’s, first nursery school concert. She’s the most adorable little two-year old and has everyone wrapped around her little finger. My 3 boys (and her only cousins on our side of the family) dote on her, so naturally we would attend a toddler's concert to witness her 2 or 3 minutes of fame!

Dancing to New York New York

The theme was the Academy awards and they did little skits from the animated movies. The little ballerinas were super cute! The chipmunks were very energetic jumping around the stage to the hip hop music followed by equally energetic girls dancing to “All the Single Ladies’!

It was absolutely hilarious and so heartwarming. Imrah was a little Minnie-Mouse, with the polka-dot skirt and mouse ears. At first, she was overwhelmed by the audience, but on the second attempt was dancing her little jig to the Mickey-Mouse Club song.

Looking so cute! 2 year old Mickey and Minnies

Another stunner of a day for Sunday (summer is definitely on its way) and we had plans to visit the Green Point Urban park. My other nephews and niece joined us for some outdoor fun. There’s something really soothing about the outdoors and watching the little kids playing their little hearts out.

Accessories: Dolce & Gabanna Sunnies| Bead necklaces from The Space| Gifted Silver chain |Honey Resin Bracelet

Thereafter,blown to the Waterfront to take my other niece shoe shopping. It was her birthday and all she wanted was a new outfit! Since I love ZARA kids, that’s where we went and she chose the sweetest snakeskin sandal. Little Girls!
