Wish List

A few things I'm crushing on...

From Top:

Nectarines.  My favoritest fruit.  I have been eating AT LEAST two a day.  Never leave me.

Madewell Tie Front Tank Suit in Safari.  I need.

Volcom Ride Easy Beach Short.  I just bought these and want to wear them everyday of my life.  So comfy.  I wish they had my size in the pink.

JCrew Striped zip pouch.  I have a thing for pouches and a thing for stripes.  So, no brainer here folks.

JCrew short sleeve popover.  I just bought this in stripe but I like it in the polka dot equally as much.

Our Summer Adventures

I thought I'd share the list our family made of the summer adventures we wanted to make happen this year.  You know how fast summer flies by and we want to make sure and fit in as much fun as we can.  Can you believe how fast July is going?  So far, we are doing pretty decent on our list but we might need to kick it up a notch.  School will be back in session before we know it.  Sigh and sniffle.

In no particular order...

Friday Family Beach Nights  (best ever!)
Santa Cruz Road Trip
Make Soap
Make Popsicles
Visit Seattle and Vancouver
Go to the OC Fair (see farm animals, eat cotton candy)
Visit Balboa Island (and eat a frozen banana)
Make Snowcones
Bake a pie
Have a Ramos House date with Anita (her first)
Make ice cream
Visit a Museum
Create a big art project
Have a slumber party
Visit Crystal Cove
Ride the Laguna Beach Trolley
Visit San Onofre

So we've embarked on 5 out of 17 of these adventures so far.  But plans are already in place to make the rest of the list a reality very soon.  We leave for Seattle/Vancouver in 2 weeks.  We are visiting Crystal Cove this weekend and heading to Ramos House next week. The rest of the list is very do-able, I think.  So what do you think of our little list?  And how are your summer adventures going?

Lucky days...

Oh, hello there!  Sorry it's been awhile.

I could give you a bunch of reasons why it's been awhile but let's be real.  I've been lazy.  And kinda loving it.  It's summer time and I am (mostly) embracing the laziness.  But I've missed you terribly.  Really I have.  So I am back.  I think.  Let's move on.

So what have I been up to while gone?  Well, we went on a little family road trip and it was perfection. Really, it was one for the books people.  California, I love you.  And my family too.  I mean, hot damn, I am lucky.

Also, I had a birthday.  Holla!  Officially, a 35 year old grown ass woman.  For reals!  I had a pretty low key birthday which is exactly the way I wanted it.  I got to stretch it out over a whole week of goodness and I just felt really lucky for all these 35 years.

And then there was the 4th of July which was another nice little day of California fun in the sun with some lovely friends and family.  Oh, and some In-n-Out to boot.  I mean, come on, what's better than that?

So, yeah, I'm kinda just blissed out on all this lazy California summer time goodness.  How bout you?  Are you enjoying yourselves?
