I am popping in quickly this morning to share some photos from last night’s Oscars party, as promised last week. I will, however, be taking a short break from blogging this week, at least for a few days. Something happened over the weekend that has completely rocked me to my core, made me think long and hard about the things in life that matter most and how important it is to tell everyone you know that you love them, that you appreciate them and that they mean to world to you. And, if I’m honest, I just don’t feel like pretending everything is ok right now, because it’s not, so I’m not going to…I’m going to take some time, regroup and hopefully come back in a few days feeling a bit more upbeat. But, before I run off on you, here are some photos from last night’s Oscar festivities with my lovely friend Carolynn from Two Brunettes.

I’ll share more details from the party when I’m back, but in the meantime visit Two Brunettes for more of the goods. And make sure to hug the ones you love today and let them know you care. You never know when it might be your last chance to tell someone how very much they mean to you.
