my pride and joy

It's the little things that make me happy, my husband as a fat ballerina with a 5 o'clock shadow for example.  And any opportunity to laugh my a** off at something as ridiculous as this is truly what keeps me going.  It's absolutely fantastic.  Let me also preface this by saying that he has no idea this is being posted.  :)  Here is what transpired Sunday evening in the actual order of events:








OK so obviously my laughter and insults started to wear on Jake's nerves.  But really how do you take a pissed off fat triangle seriously?  He went from mildly annoyed to seriously rooted in about 30 seconds and it was priceless....


I know some of the pics are blurry but that is purely because of me walking while laughing while snapping.

It's Monday. I'd rather be....


......on a bike ride with Jake.   We had such a great time yesterday!  I'm not going to lie, the bike ride did kick my rear end though.  We rode from Del Mar to Solana Beach and back.  Look how cute our bikes are together.  Mine is the sweet and sassy orange one of course while Jake prefers his bike "murdered out".  

It looks like I may be the only person working today.  :(  For all you lucky folk, enjoy your day and we'll meet up again tomorrow!

friday four & faves...happy weekend!

1.  I actually got a head start on my weekend last night at the Edward Sharpe show at the Belly Up.  It was awesome!!!!  Let me tell you, the band was feelin' the spirit last night.  It felt like a revival in there!  It was a great time and the music is just happy.  Something we all need a little more of once in a while.  If you haven't seen or heard them, you MUST check them out.  And for all you lucky folks heading to Coachella, they will be there. Wish the pics were clearer but it was rockin' last night! Here are the other 3 fave pics from last night...

calm before the storm...

Peace and calm before the quake
We didn't have a storm actually.  More like an Earthquake!!  We were very lucky to not have sustained any damage or injury so for that I am very thankful this Monday.  We haven't received full reports on other areas closer to the event so we hope that all is well and everyone is safe.

photo walk

Sometimes I need a little fresh air and to get out of my own head for a moment.  Here is the inspiration that greeted me on my walk today.  Look closely to spot my little friend...


I'll help you out, a close up of my new friend......

reminiscing...spring & wedding season are here

Spring and wedding season have begun here in southern California and everywhere I look, I am seeing creative wedding photo shoots, artistic flower arrangements, and beautiful tablescapes. It wasn't so long ago that I was in the midst of my own wedding although time does fly.  My favorite part of my big day (besides marrying my husband of course) was my beautiful flowers and foliage.  We used succulents and driftwood and manzanita for a sweet, casual, outdoor California wedding....

Driftwood centerpiece, my bouquet, crystal detail in manzanita, and chair garland.  Florals by Twigs by Teri.

Grays and Blues.....



Saturday was such a beautiful "winter's" day in San Diego. The tide was definitely affected by the tragic earthquake south of us in Chile. The day was haunting silver and mist... I find I sort of prefer cloudy beach over sunny beach sometimes.  Blasphemy I know.  But spring is on its way and with that comes more vibrant blues, aquas, yellows. All inspired by the same backdrop.
