take a moment to change your bookmarks and links to my new address and check back tomorrow for something fun!
often fall is more beautiful than summer on the central coast and saturday was gorgeous!
have a happy monday!!
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!!
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?
so, so creative and fun.
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?

free earring friday.
yesterday matty told me i was ‘getting on his nerds’. um, yeah, i know the feeling.
I bought m&m’s at the grocery store earlier this week. 90 calories in the fun size (personally i think the bigger packages are more fun). the perfect solution to my sweet tooth…a small snack just to satisfy me. nope, i ate five packages and proceeded to lose all self-respect. and i still can’t decide if i like plain or peanut better. how about you??
i used random integers (a great, easy website) to keep it fair. and they chose…

2. Weekend after weekend of country fairs
3. smell of hot apple cider
It awakes all the senses!
I am seriously blown away by the number of comments. You guys rock and I am all inspired for fall, now! Email me your addresses, ladies and we’ll get your necklaces out.
here’s a few photos from the last week…
watching the rows of vineyards fly by.
our kitchen counter. i won’t show you the dirty dishes.
matty and max flying a plane in the backyard.
i’ve been inspired by bluebirdbaby and her self-portraits. this is one of my first attempts and its nothing compared to hers. the outtakes were pretty funny. i don’t plan on posting those!!
happy monday!!we had a great weekend being with family and celebrating my grandma’s life. i loved hearing how other people remember her, the impact she had on their lives, and celebrating her life. A simple life, but one lived by consistently loving others well. I want to be like that.
One great thing about memorials, is they bring families together. The cousins had a ball, as usual.
We got to help my sisters (aka aunties) move into their new (darling) house.
David was showered with lots of love and attention.
We had dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton, which is located in the old train station. The new train station was built right next door, so we went out to watch the sun set and the trains come in. The kids loved it!
It was also so wonderful to see my cousins, aunts and uncles and extended family we don’t see nearly enough. And their kids *gasp are so big!!
Thanks for all your comments on fall. I feel the urge to go buy pumpkins and cider! I’ll plan to choose a winner (through a randomly generated number) in the next couple days.
