the crazy pace continues, with all the school-year-ending events and activities piling up. meg’s school celebrates the girls’ move to middle school with a special chapel program and reception.

mrs. jones is not the only one doing a little public gushing over thomas jayne these days…super-chic ronda carman, who publishes the fabulous “all the best“, profiles my design crush in her latest entry. read and enjoy!
