For me, summer is this close! 5 more days of school and then we will be out! These last two weeks have been such a long stretch of work… mostly because there is so much to look forward to this summer. Kitchen remodel starts Monday, then a fun trip with the kiddos from school, and … More TGIF- fun finds
Happy Friday! It is the start of a VERY busy time of the year! Between school finishing up, end of the year concerts and shows, meetings, parties… it seems like every free moment is booked!

Happy Friday! It has been an absolutely beautiful week here in Ventura County and I have been loving the weather… and the nearness of summer!

Greg and I have not been there for at least 14 years – when … More Weekend Getaway – Oceanside
Happy Friday – and more importantly, happy all-about-my-favorite market day! I figured I should dedicate an entire “fun finds” post to TJ’s… since a bulk of paycheck goes there each week!

It’s been a long year… and it was finally time to get away! What could be better than a getaway full of delicious food, lots of wine, and the best of friends?!?!

It is the LAST FRIDAY OF MARCH!!! The longest month of the school year is over… and it actually ended up flying by! Guys… April, May, and then June…. we are almost there!
