Girls just having fun

Last week my sister-in-law came to visit bringing Eva, Scarlett and Kimi with her. They have been enduring the very cold winter and were craving some sunshine. We took full advantage of each sunset. One of the days I took them to the Montage. It is so beautiful there. The beach is protected so everyone can enjoy the tide pools with out some creep destroying them. I love that they have sidewalks to the beach. It's so handy when you have a stroller. They also have a fire pit so you can sit back, enjoy the ocean views and the sunset.


I love the sunsets here because as the sun goes down you get Catalina Island in silhouette. I got to hang out with "Scarlick" and adore her while the girls were off exploring. Scarlett is the most beautiful baby. She has a face of an angel and I was so happy I got to snuggle with her!
Sunset here is a perfect place to take pictures. Don't those girls look precious?

This is Kimi. She is beautiful inside and out. I've never met someone so full of energy, love and life! Kimi shows gratitude every chance she gets. She is like a breath of fresh air. She is joy to be around because she exudes it. I am thinking of building a casita just so Kimi could have a place to live close by. She is a treasure and I was so happy to spend time with her.
Speaking of treasures, Eva is about as precious as they come. She is SO CUTE! She has a mind of her own and it not afraid of her independence. She is smart as a whip and is so observant. My sister-in-law is such a good mom. Actually, she is an excellent mother. She does an amazing job, probably because she is an amazing person. Tammy is family and a friend. She is stunningly gorgeous and very funny. Clint was missing out so he hopped on a plane and came out for the weekend. I love having my house full of guests. We cooked healthy and then made sure we had dessert. They introduced my to 20 second workout which it awesome. I am buying it this week for Valentines. We quilted, pigged out at Le Creperia and explored M&L. Saturday our friend Tom met us out at the pier and we had a photo shoot with the girls. They left on Sunday and we spent the day feeling lonely without them all here. I love having them here and hope that they will all visit at least once a month!

"We were on a break!"


I really want to do this whole blogging thing, I really do. I mean it! I swear! Yes, I know. The road to hell was paved with good intentions. I'm climbing back from the dead. When I don't blog it's because of two things: I'm very boring and have nothing to say or I'm very busy doing so many fabulous things that I can barely handle my business.
Things that I have done while on my hiatus that were blog worthy?
I made a 6 layer rainbow cake from scratch that took me all day to do.
I've been sewing and quilting. I'm finally making time for my Halloween quilt. By Labor day I will hopefully accomplish my Valentines projects.
I went to Utah for forever and spent time with my new niece. She is precious, just like all my other nieces.
I'm organizing my house. A very futile attempt but it's a daily exercise for insanity.
Isabella is in ballet. TOO DAMN CUTE!
And last but not least I spend my morning teaching my child to read. We are reading, working on numbers. Writing. And doing worksheets. (Worksheets will not be the death of me. Repeat until you mean it.)
I know there is more that I am missing but I am giving you lucky readers the condensed version. I love reading blogs and getting inspiration from others. My blog will probably not inspire, but if you are bored or pooping you can check in to pass the time. I was going to blog about my weekend but I think I will treat the two of you reading this to another blog post today.
Love to all!
