Happy Friday and Happy Mother’s Day weekend!! How is everyone celebrating? I will be enjoying a quiet and relaxing weekend at home. The weatherman is calling for 75 degrees and sunny on Sunday…just how I like it! So, hopefully, there will be some sun worshiping involved in my Mother’s Day activities.

Yesterday, I had lunch with a fellow blogger who has become a dear friend in “real life” and I began thinking about how very blessed I am to have this blog and to be part of this community. I began my blog at time when I wasn’t really sure which direction my life was headed…not only has a thriving business blossomed from these pages, but some of the kindest and most generous people I have ever encountered have become part of my daily life. Thank you, my friends!
I also want to say a special Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mother…I love you and I will miss being with you on Sunday!
To kick off this beautiful Spring weekend, I thought I would share a stunning home in Provence…and guess what? It is a vacation rental!

Anyone want to share it with me? We could have a blogging retreat in France!!
To all of the mom’s reading this, have a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love, happiness and sunshine…wherever you may be wandering.
GOOD GLORY, SANDY! The muted shades of a Provençal scene, whether it's a home, a garden, the countryside, it is MY favorite look. These are magnificent photos, and just the daydreaming mode of FRANCE puts me in peace. I wish you dear friend, a most relaxing and lovely Mother's Day. BISOUS!
Did someway say blogging retreat in France? Yes, please! My bags would be packed in a heart beat. This villa is STUNNING and would be the perfect place to unpack. Sandy, thank you for all the wonderful adventures you take us on via you lovely blog. It's wonderful to travel the world with you here. I hope you have a lovely Mother's Day weekend and enjoy the warmth and sunshine. XOXO
Love the thought of a blogger's retreat in Provence! Gorgeous home! Susan at Romancing the Home
Sandy, lovely to meet you through our wonderful bloggers world. I loved reading about your brave mom. Aren't mums the best?.. My elderly mum is in South Africa, I'm based in Brisbane Au. She's 87 this year, full of fun still and very well.
I'm with you.. I think Mothers Day should be celebrated whenever we are around our grown up children. us. I have two married daughters in Sydney, so thanks for this idea. Helps me with Mothers day tmr! xx
In the rationale thinking of the special day for Mothers.. sure.. and for Christmas..sure.. and for all the other holidays.. after all its just a 'calendar day'..but it can bring heartache to many if they don't have the strength or frame of mind to postpone till their family are with them.
Yes please, I'd love a bloggers retreat in Provence, tho its v far from Au..
What about S E Asia?.. we could do Hanoi, Hoi An, or Saigon?.. or even Siem Reap or then theirs Laung Prabang in Laos.. aah.. dream on Jeanie!
Happy sunshine Mothers day to you.. Ps.. there's heaps of sunshine days in S E Asia..
kind regards j
Sandy dear-so happy to finally have a second to catch up on your beautiful posts. This villa is quintessential Provence. Isn't it perfection? I loved reading about your inspiring and beautiful mom. Your family does live in great places to visit (good in your field) so I'm wishing you a wonderful, restful Mother's Day.
xx, Heather
This would be a dream vacation rental for sure! Such a divine home and grounds.
