these are a few of my favorite things..

10 o clock and sunny. iced coffee. beach day. perfect.

only one of these girls is perfectly aligned with the sun. i would be that girl, of course.

the world seemed a little less complicated back in the day. why can’t we all go back to pincurls, vintage aprons, baking our own bread and pressing our husbands shirts in the morning?

how a friday should be spent.

helping daddy wax his surfboard.

even walks around the block require tutu wearing.

holding mommys hand.

…and almost happy august. i am hoping a new month will bring the sun with it…i am a bit tired of flannels and hot coffee in the summer..cheers to san diego even when its only sunny 6 days out of 100..

my friend and neighbor heather has an amazing blog with great dairy free recipes..check it out for the recipe for this raw coleslaw @ turquoisetilekitchen.blogspot.com

adina is always my helper in the kitchen. she always wants up on the counter to see what i am doing, so i am taking advantage and teaching her how to cook at a very young age.

raw and delish.

i think we all just want to be hippies..

my best friend from highschool have been dreaming of the day we would have little girls the same age to play together..FINALLY it is reality. we both have the cutest 2 year olds and are so blessed.

adina wasn’t quite sure what to do in 105 degree weather {thank you FRESNO for some SUN}…so she copied Sailor in what was a great idea…slurping down as many otter pops as you could before mommy cut you off..
