If you’ve read my blog for any time at all, you could probably gather that I’m kiiiind of a dork when it comes to living in Southern California. I love taking people from out of town on tours of the area, and usually get more excited than they do to see the landmarks (again). Wanna go…
Sometimes when I take Stevie out on the town, I have to talk myself into it. I have to convince myself it will be a good idea. I often tell myself if nothing else, it will make for good blog fodder. We were near LACMA anyway, so I thought we’d give it a shot. And I…
This was not only Stevie’s first trip to Knott’s, but mine too! I have been to Knott’s SCARY Farm a couple times – but that is much different than the regular ol’ berry farm. We spent our day in the Camp Snoopy area and Stevie loved it. He initially did not want to get on any rides…
Sneaky, sneaky 4th of July. Where did you come from? I mean BAM! All of a sudden, am I right? When I woke up on Friday, the last thing I expected was for my husband to suggest we go somewhere. I obviously am not one to turn down that offer, so we hopped in the…
Let me tell you a little something about taking a 3-year old to the beach. Actually, I should clarify. Because I have seen plenty of Instagram photos and Facebook posts where 3-year olds are having an amahzing time at the beach. So, correction: Let me tell you a little something about taking MY 3-year old to the beach. (and a…
I’ve only been to Underwood Family Farms at Halloween time to pick pumpkins. But I had never been to their smaller farm in Somis. It was so nice! The weather was pleasant and the berries were ripe. We were on the late side for blueberries, so there wasn’t much to speak of. But the strawberries!…
What are the odds that I would have a baby shower in San Diego the same weekend that my Mom and step-dad would have a wedding to attend in San Diego? What a perfect excuse to get together and spend a lazy weekend in a hotel eating lots of food! Woohoo! We really didn’t do much. It…
Well, we are at the end of our awesome vacation. You’re probably not as sad as I was. On our last day, Paul had plenty to do with the wedding folk, so I actually took some alone time. After dropping him off the The Mansion – yes, fancy – I took a little drive over the bridge into…
Is this series getting too long? Are you bored of my Savannah pictures yet? It feels really wrong writing all these posts in a row. Plus I’m dragging it out a bit so I seem interesting. If you can handle it, please continue! There are more! Our 3rd day in Savannah, we had a bit…
The rest of my music for the trip would just be a big fat rip-off of John Mayer’s Paradise Valley. That blues-y feel was perfect for every situation in the South. The album was on heavy rotation this trip (also since I’ve been home) and frankly, I wouldn’t be able to come up with anything better.…
