You get an extra day because last Saturday I got home late and then daylight savings…

Saturday

  1. Afternoon tea at Kings Carriage House in NYC.  Pretty old school brownstone.  Three course tea (sandwiches, scones!, pastries) with wonderful tea.  yum.

  7. You had a diverse week didn’t you! Congrats to the daughter, and you! Is she accepting that spot or is there anything else pending that she wants to consider?
    Your mention of prom dress shopping brought some memories flooding back from years ago. It also made me wonder on the costs associated with prom in 2019. They seemed ridiculous in the early 2000’s. Can’t imagine the changes now 🙂

    1. She’s still got a bunch of schools to hear from, this was the first if her top schools to come in, and very honestly, she applied to some really tough schools. This acceptance was surreal because I think they only accepted about 8% of the kids that applied, so I think the chances of her getting into another school like this are slim. But that being said, this school is a great fit for her and we are thrilled. Prom dresses!! It’s funny, but the first dress she tried on was perfect, and it wasn’t as ugly a price as I thought it would be, so it was a good day!

    1. I have a bad habit of making a recipe (I’m a rip out of a magazine sort of girl) and tossing it, but I may have saved it. I know it was pie crust (I used store bought) and it had eggs and cheese. Was supposed to have bacon but my daughter doesn’t eat bacon, so I omitted it. I will look!!
