Weekend Time.

Happy weekend everyone. I hope you all had a good week. Here are some fun links I found throughout the week for you to click through if you have some laptop time this weekend!

This lovely artist (who did the swing illustration seen above)

Some fun DIY fruit balloons perfect for a summer party!

I'm in love with these palette coasters! They would look so cute on our coffee table...

People are so creative. Check out this video called "Extreme Sheep LED Art" pretty wild!

A sweet blog dedicated to documenting street art.

Beautiful interiors with brass, copper and gold accents.

wowza.

Whew. What a week. It's been a busy one for me, and I am beyond happy it's the weekend.
We're housesitting for some friends this weekend and they have a pool and jacuzzi.
Can't wait to hang out with those guys for a bit tomorrow :)

Hope you all had a good week and are ready for a little break!

Easter Weekend

This weekend was a much needed restful time. We house sat for some friends, and it was so fun to be in a big house, with dogs and a big kitchen. We live in a little bungalow, so it felt like we were playing house :) We went to a goodbye party for our friend Miriam, who has been here for three months from Italy. What a bundle of joy she has been to have around. She leaves this week and we're going to miss her so much!! We also went to Benihana's for the first time this weekend with my cousin and her new boyfriend. (They're sooo cute!) And the food was sooo good. I'm already wanting to go back.

On Easter I made a basket for Nolan and yes- I made him look for it. It's a tradition I've always loved
and will not let it die!! So he was a good sport and found his basket in the closet :) Pancakes and strawberries were our breakfast. We spent the rest of the day at church and with fam.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Our savior has risen!

A Late- Weekend Post

So this weekend was awesome. Our family friend got married up in my hometown Pismo Beach,
so we were able to take the weekend and spend it up on the Central Coast! The wedding
was beautiful. Full of life and happiness. It was great to see people I hadn't seen in a long time, as
well as spend time with my family who doesn't always get to see each other like we used to.

The weekend was full of beach trips, hometown breakfasts, and spending time with good friends
we don't get to see all that often. My sister lives up in Oregon, and is here this week for Spring Break,
so it's been a blast hanging with her too!



I love getting away to a familiar place. Where you know the people and the streets so well.
I'm back feeling refreshed and ready for the week!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Woo Hoo!

It's the weekend! I'm trying to hurry and get stuff done so I can finish the Hunger Games book
before we see it in theaters tonight! Has anyone seen it yet? Good? Bad?

Anyways, I hope you all have a fun filled weekend! I'll see you back here on Monday!

Birthday Weekend

I had a great weekend. It was my first birthday as a married lady. I must say, it was quite nice.

We had a few great dinners, some birthday pizookie (my absolute favorite!) I was able to see my good friend Esther who I haven't seen in far too long, and I got some very thoughtful gifts.

My favorite was waking up to a homemade breakfast and roses on the table- then getting on my comp to check my email and seeing "roses in vase" image search on my browser... I thought it was the cutest thing that Nolan would google that to make my roses look just right! Love that guy.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope it's going well so far!

A Little Weekend Post

I'm trying to take more pics throughout my days- it was one of my new years resolutions.

I didn't do too well with that this weekend, but I did take a few.

Cream was this last Thursday! I was really bad about taking photos, but I did get some shots of a few decor pieces I loved!

I was also able to spend a day with some friends on the coast this weekend. It was really relaxing and reminded me how much I miss living by the beach.

We hung out with my parents yesterday- again took no photos, but I did get some shots of our yogurt we got when we were back in town... can't get enough of that stuff...



I'll try and do better photo taking this week- I'll make it a little goal of mine. Hope you all had a great weekend!

My Week to the End.

One of my good friends from my hometown (we've been friends since we were 10!) came and stayed with us this weekend. It was so great to have her in town. We relaxed, strolled the city, drank mimosas, ate good food, drank coffee, and watched Harry Potter.

We also played tourist and went to the Kodak theater to see the Academy Awards being set up. I wanted to sneak through that gate so bad! On Sunday, we headed over to our friend's house for an Oscar Party. I've talked about Rachel on here a bit- (she's the one who has this awesome talent of making amazing food.) She made tons of themed snacks/appetizers and drinks to go with each movie that was nominated! Not only was it such a cute idea- but it was SOO yummy.


It's not always easy for me to take a weekend and not get on my computer- but I totally did this weekend, and I feel so refreshed and ready for a hard work week! Let's do this!

Treat Yo' Self.

Go out to breakfast and order something sugary and carb-o-loaded. It's almost the weekend!
You deserve it!

It's Here!

Have a great weekend everyone... the weather here in Southern California has been gorgeous these past few days, and I'm really hoping to get to spend some time outside this weekend! Maybe a hike, or a picnic, or a trip to the beach. We'll see what happens!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get some well deserved rest. See you Monday!

So Hard to Get Up

Today I woke up to the rain outside and it made me extra sleepy.

I really just wanted to stay in bed for a few more hours...



Then I remember that coffee and breakfast is my favorite in the rain.

It helped me get up.

Maybe this weekend you'll get some sleep in time- maybe I will too?  :)



In case you missed it, there were some fun posts happening here
this week- roasted pumpkin seeds, knit scarfs and buns, and stuffed french toast with Rachel Oberg.

Have a great weekend friends!!

Fall is so great

I came really close to not posting today. I mean its already Saturday afternoon. A little late
to wish you a happy weekend.

But I had a pumpkin spice latte in a coffee shop today, and just really had the urge to post a
fall-honoring photo.

This weekend we're procrastinating more on this project we were supposed to do a while back...
and going to a UCLA football game tonight! I'm not much of a football fan, I'm just excited for the
tailgate party, food, and the overall fall ambiance football games hold.

I also have some really fun things that I've been working on lately, and I'm oober excited for next
week to share them with you. Its about this little thing called "Waterfall Creative". Woot woot!
So I'll be working on that and maybe be baking some cookies.

Hope you all have a good weekend, even though I realize it's already half way over...
But ya gotta enjoy it! Happy fall and Happy Weekend! Yay!

Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend everyone! Hope you have some time to relax while geting out of this heat!
Head somewhere near the water or a place with some awesome air conditioning.

I plan on trying not to cry my eyes out every second because one of my best friends is
moving across the country on Sunday... I will miss her and her hubs dearly... on a lighter note
I also plan on finishing up some freelance projects, re-doing our fridge
(goodbye my ghetto friend), thrifting a bit for household decos, baking cupcakes,
and finishing reading this book.

Have a good one people and I'll see you on Monday!

If you have some time, browse around this little site. They have some fun things like these

See you on Monday friends!

Week to the End

I hope everyone has an amazing 3-day weekend! Don't forget to go at least one barbecue
and eat lots of chips and dip. You can also check out Refinery29's
10 Things to Know This Memorial Day Weekend. Theres some fun links goin on over there.

I have my first bridal shower this weekend and I'm so excited! I've never had one of these

excited to put on a pretty dress and hang out with the ladies. I'll let you know how it goes!

Have a great weekend everyboday!

Grace and Josh

Hey everyone! I just got back from my wonderful week in Portland being a bridesmaid
in my beautiful friend Grace's wedding!
The week was amazing and so much fun. A great break from the everyday life.

Grace is officially Josh's wife now and I couldn't be more happy for the two of them.
They are amazing individuals with such heart. One of my favorite parts of the
wedding was hearing them recite the vows they wrote. Here are a few lines:
"I promise to say good morning, I promise to say good night. I promise to help you see
the everyday picture, I promise to help you see the big picture. I promise to make you tofu,
I promise to cook you meat." So perfect.



Now I'm back and am so inspired to get things going for my own wedding which is a little over
2 months away! So much to do... better get started! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
