photos, clockwise from top left: waterfront, SD zoo, Bird Rock Coffee, El Camino, Urban Solace, Snooze, Prep Kitchen, Exotic Gardens, Dark Horse Coffee. (We only take photos of Ellerie drinking from a straw, BTW.) I have avoided writing this post because I felt like we've spent such a short time here and we tend to go…

Hooray, hooray…we're almost there. Tomorrow is my due date. Sometime in the next week, we'll meet this little girl. It feels like it's been forever since we knew there was a baby on the way and it feels like just yesterday that I was wishing for another family member. I wanted to share today some…

It's going to be awhile before I get things organized and the right furniture to properly fill the space. The plus side of being almost six months pregnant and having four years to live in one place is I get to slow down a notch. Not exactly my normal style, but very important this time…

I drove up alone with a car-full of stuff and I’ll leave alone (in a different car & with more stuff). I told Paul on FaceTime this morning that after two solo moves, it will be strange when we are able to move together! I can’t imagine what that will be like (though at least…

One of my July goals was to buy produce only from the farmer's market. I'll be the very first to say that in Southern California, we have it easy. Our summer farmer's market carries a large variety of fruits and vegetables. Buying only from the market (that we're lucky enough to have set up across…

The color scheme of my neighborhood is pretty set. Green + brown + blue + yellow. Except on Sunday mornings, when the farmer's market sets up across the street. Then the color! The natural color. Cannot get enough. As always, please feel free to do your own photo walk. Use "color" as a prompt or…

Special thanks to Paul for giving up three hours on his Sunday to wander Point Mugu State Park and, of course, for capturing the jumping photo. ps… jumping in front of the Eiffel Tower five years ago.

I have to say, these monthly updates are fun, mostly because I can clearly see how much things have changed. Here's the garden in the very beginning. And then here it is at the end of April. Crazy, crazy. Last time I shared photos, I got lots of suggestions get the tomato plants in cages.…
