Sequins & Sparkles #25

Coco loves acting like a baby - red wine and eating escargots: feeling so French - blossoms - tulips - smoothie break - beautiful graffiti in my neighborhood - Belgian specialty: "stoofvlees met frietjes" - pink trench coat - the vacuum cleaner is much faster than all those brushes - new shirt, new ballet flats - Coco taking over my laptop - strawberries - again, tulips - breakfast in bed - pre-dinner drink.
