Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend! Its been HOT the last couple of days and it definitely feels like Spring is quickly approaching. Time to break out the shorts, flip flops and sunnies!
Here was my week/weekend via my camera roll:

1. Our little Lily is quite the ham in front of the camera.  She loves wearing costume stuff and smiling her crinkle smile. We are absolutely loving this age (9 months) because she's so interactive and we can mostly be able to tell what she's thinking and wants to do (or not to do).

2. I wandered into our nearest Marshall's the other day and saw this kayak for sale. I almost bought it! At $169, it was a steal for an entry level kayak.  If I only had a way to get it home, it would have been mine!

3. I've never tried Evolution juices and when I went to the grocery store, I snagged one (I usually give myself a little treat everytime I hit the grocery store). While it was DELICIOUS, it was pricey ($3.79/bottle).

4. We have a Sunday tradition of going to the Farmer's Market and there is just so much yumminess on display. Since I am captain of the SS Stroller, its sort of difficult to get video the way I want so I've been taking shots the last couple of weeks in hopes of making a short video that i'll post soon!

5. We went for a walk around Midtown Sacramento and there are the coolest murals to take pictures near. I made the hubby be my model for the day so I could document all the neat areas. Fashion posts? Yes please!

6. I think this shot was taken while we were at the Farmer's Market and Lily was asleep. We like her to nap as long as possible so if we get to our destination and she's asleep, we will often sit and chit chat or if you're me, take selfies. :)

7. Today's weather warranted a trip to the driving range! I haven't touched my clubs in almost 2 years so it was good to get out and hit a few while catching up with a girlfriend and her friends.

8. After we hit some balls, we checked out Maggiano's nearby. The food was decent but I was more interested in the dessert! My girlfriend ordered this fabulous brownie with ice cream and fresh strawberries. uh-MAZING.

9. And on my way home from all this fun, the hubby (who was watching our little one) sent me this text message... YAY!!! I've been waiting for this time! She's on her way to becoming super mobile! It was a great end to my day!

How was your weekend?

Hello lovelies!
I took a short break from the blog since we took a family vacay to San Luis Obispo to celebrate the hubby's birthday. We decided to pick up and move and explore a new place before life got real and so we lived in SLO for a year before moving back home (Sacramento) to get married and then have our little lady. SLO is a super cute small town on the coast, between SF and LA. It also has some cute little beachy communities like Morro Bay and Avila Beach.

This was our first trip back with a baby so it definitely wasn't the same. The differences being that we didn't stay out late and hit up the bars like we used to. The hubby actually got sick the first night we were there so we were in bed by 7:30pm. :(

We did do a lot of daytime stuff like walking around the Downtown area, went to the beach and hit up some of our favorite food/coffee places. The weather was AMAZING and being by the beach was heavenly.

I did take video in hopes of making a short montage but since I had left my laptop at home, I thought I'd upload the video to Google Drive from my iPhone. I lost all the footage of downtown and the beach because I was on a slow connection and I think Google Drive had timed out. Boo. :(

But I was able to salvage some pictures... Here they are... Enjoy!





1. If you ever are in SLO, go to Peet's Coffee. It is the only place I've ever been to (in SLO and anywhere else) where the scones are soft and yummy! They're baked by a local bakery there.

2. Waiting with these two while getting a boba. While we were gone, quite a few food/specialty drink/coffee spots opened up! The boba wasn't amazing (the boba itself was actually kind of al dente but the flavor of the coffee was ok) but it was good to see a boba store in that city!

3. We ventured to Avila Beach the first full day we were there and Miss Lily decided to take her first nap on the car ride. So, rather than wake her (it was only a 10 minute ride), we sat in the car eating snacks and chatting while we listened to classical music on the radio. Oh...and we took selfies. :)

4. The hotel we stayed at had daily Happy Hour. This is what we scored. Red wine and a few Coors Lights. Since it was getting close to Lily's bedtime, this was the best thing to going out. #parentswhoparty

5. When we did live in SLO, every morning, we would venture out to this little shopping area (after getting coffees and scones from Peet's) and sit on the second floor which had a few places to sit. It was nice to come back here and grab a coffee and scone and relax while people watching.

6. I found all of the drought signs on the drive to SLO interesting. This one was a series but it basically referred to the Central Valley as a dustbowl area.

7. And the infamous, Bubblegum Alley in SLO. Its rather gross, especially in the rainy season. This was the closest i'd ever been to that area.

8. And if you're ever in SLO, go to Louisa's. It's a small breakfast/lunch place and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We used to get their breakfast nachos all the time. Bacon. Ham. Eggs. Avocado. Sour Cream. Salsa. Chips....HEAVEN.  Its super gluttonous but we were on vacation so indulging is totally allowed.


How amazing is this field of flowers?! When we were driving through Highway 41 near Paso Robles (the Central Valley's wine country), there were hills painted with yellows, oranges and some purple. Absolutely stunning!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Here's what's been going on in my neck of the woods...


1. Just a few shots of the type of food we've been making for our little one lately: sweet potato, beets with apple and kale with apple.

2. Our little bug had another stellar check-up! I can't believe she's growing so fast! 9 months have passed?! I'm now pinning like crazy for her first birthday party.

3. We've been trying to get her to sleep in her crib, which is working great at night but not so great during the day. So, we've been taking drives during her nap time. I'll usually drive to a wildlife preserve nearby with laptop in tow, while she sleeps. I can get some blogging done and she gets her nap. I hope this napping arrangement is temporary although it is really pretty where I've been parking/hanging out.

4. The hubby turned another year older and we had a joint birthday party with a buddy of his. It was so awesome to have some adult time (and adult beverages)!

5. After pricing out custom photobooth backdrops online ($200?! OUCH!) I decided to build a photobooth backdrop for the party on my own. It turned out AMAZING! Hoping to post a DIY post soon.

6. I've been trying to get outside more for walks and Lily and I stumbled upon this beautiful park where you can get up on a levee and walk. We had a storm roll through the Sierras nearby and I was able to catch a shot of the super fluffy clouds. This picture does not do it justice!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Here is a little of what went down in my world last week...
