this weekend amid pizza with friends, pancakes and errands we grabbed a quick lunch in Cayucos and took a few pics.

often fall is more beautiful than summer on the central coast and saturday was gorgeous!
have a happy monday!!

david

i snapped this picture when david was about 3 months old. i thought it would be so cute to have him in the bucket, but as soon as i put him inside, he fell right to sleep. guess it was a cozy bucket!!

we’ve started to get in a groove with his classroom. his teacher is great. he has a 1:1 aide with him all the time now and she is getting to know his ins and outs. i am trying to be a patient, rational mommy to keep from falling to pieces. he is just so dang small, i worry about him. i should definitely say that david is loving school and is always happy to be there.

i’ll be doing some work on my blog in the next couple days, stayed tuned for some fun changes!

victoria magazine invited me to create some necklaces for their readers. this magazine is such a beautiful publication. from the photos, to the snippets of poetry to the thick glossy pages, its an inspiration and i am so honored to be a part of it. grab a copy while you’re out, i promise you will love it!!

dreaming.

live a simple life, slow days, homemade dinners with homemade desserts, sunlight filtering in the windows, kids running and playing outside. oh maybe i should mention, in this fantasy, i wouldn’t be the one working on the farm, more like a farm bed and breakfast. hmmm, maybe just for a week?

inspired.

david played the piano all weekend at nana & papa’s house.
he taps out the sweetest little melodies one note at a time.


matty got some new rainboots (perfect for the 90 degree weather in fresno this weekend!),
add a cape and you’re all set!

david wanted to sit on the tractor and he did not want to get off.
places to go, fields to plow.

off to save the world at lightening speed. have a great monday!

easy gift tags.

September 14th | older posts


for gift wrap i consistently use kraft paper boxes or craft bags.
i love the simplicity and the vintage look.

i picked up an old children’s book at an antique store for about $10. it was full of the sweetest drawings. i just ripped out some cute pics (i know, all the librarians are shuddering right now) and used double-sided tape to attach them to the manilla tags (available at staples, about $5 for 50). then i used my alphabet stamps and brown ink to add a word.

it took me all of about 5 minutes, but aren’t they cute?!

what’s your favorite way to wrap a gift?
