Hello friends, hope this finds you doing well on this Sunday morning. Here, we have had a very pleasant and relaxing weekend and I was looking forward to even possibly doing some spring planting today. however we may get into the 40’s tonight so guess that is not happening! Had a fun NYC day yesterday, a little work and a bit of play and then dinner with friends.<\/p>\n

So nice for spring to be here and really am enjoying the mild weather (most of the time though yesterday was back to needing my jacket)\u00a0 not having to wear a heavy jacket, putting away my boots but\u00a0 mostly excited over it being\u00a0 flower season!\u00a0 Anyway, let’s get started with this weeks Seven on Sunday-<\/p>\n

1 FLOWER SEASON!<\/strong> I left my office early one day last week and went to one of my happy places, my favorite nursery. I love going to nurseries and could spend all day there daydreaming and taking in all the beauty and spring is the best when its brimming with all the gorgeous new spring flowers. Here are some highlights from my little excursion-

Added these potted hydrangeas in the most beautiful purple to my large silver beverage tub (click here just got them back in<\/em><\/strong><\/a>) and it was an instant arrangement!<\/p>\n

2 A FRENCH MANOR TO SWOON OVER!\u00a0<\/strong> Sit down as you may want to run for the nearest airport and hop on a flight to France (the effect almost anything in France has on me personally) when you see this gloriously restored home belonging to Chris Burch (as in ex husband to Tory Burch). Yes,I could move in this tomorrow and never look back! Seen on Arch Digest, click here to read and see more.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

4 INSPIRING STORY OF THE WEEK <\/strong>Always enjoy finding great stories to share and this weeks is incredibly inspiring and uplifting. I think we all need to hear stories like this more often, don’t you agree? This is what a real hero looks like to me, I always get so emotional watching veterans and their often inspiring and heroic stories.<\/p>\n

Sargent Franz is no exception, to hear that kid of faith and positivity after all he has gone through is incredible. Watching this 3 minute video might just be teh best 3 minutes of your day today:)

7\u00a0 SUNDAY’S SURVEY <\/strong>So this<\/em> should be interesting to take the pulse of what you all think on this subject. I have been reading a lot lately about how young kids are getting who are getting their first cell phone and\/or iPhone. Some as early as 2 and 3 as insane as that sounds.<\/p>\n

I was out to lunch with a friend the other day in the city and sure enough at a table right next to us was a mother, her daughter and another mom. Her daughter at the most was 4, and this pint sized force had her own cell phone (we knew this because the mom was bragging to her friend that she had just gotten it for the day before).
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know if I had a young kid there is no way<\/em> my kindergartner would be trotting off to school with a his\/her own cell phone, even if every other kid had one. I think that is outrageously inappropriate. I get that some will not agree and we can respectfully disagree.<\/p>\n

So……..very curious to think what age you think is appropriate for a child to get his\/her own cell phone (given the age we live in). I understand things are happening earlier, and “get it”. But a kid at 4 or 5 with a phone seems preposterous! This should be interesting:)<\/p>\n
