I’m really obsessed with bougainvillea right now. Like, I want to take a photo of it everywhere I see it. We have this big white fence on our side yard that you can see from our dining room and kitchen and I’ve wanted to grow bougainvillea on it for a while now. About a month ago Crosby and I went to Home Depot to buy some small vines to put in pots in hopes that one day they’d take over the fence.

Happy Friday, friends! I’m slowing turning into a flower child over here one flower post at a time…

I wasn’t kidding when I said I packed an outfit change for the visit to the flower fields. I’m the queen of changing in the car these days. I knew this dress would be pretty there and I hadn’t had a chance to shoot it for the blog yet so it was an easy choice. It’s only $27 and comes in two other colors. I’m not usually a purple person, but this lavender is SO pretty! Size wise it runs a little big… I’m wearing a small and had to do some minor alterations. You know, top stick and safety pins. 🙂

I’ve been dying to visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields the past few years but was never able to get down there during the season… until yesterday. Jeff, Crosby and I headed out the door bright and early to get to the fields when they opened and it was seriously SO gorgeous! Let me apologize in advance for the number of photos in this post… we were a little snap happy with how pretty it was in person.

Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week but I wanted to get a post up before the weekend. We had a major heat wave on Thanksgiving, but a few days later it cooled down a lot so we made a trip to the Christmas Tree Farm. Which is actually a parking lot at a local community college – shhhh.

This summer is flying by! I think time drastically speeds up when you have a baby – I find myself looking at pictures of things that happened months ago and feel like they were just yesterday. And now that we’re in August summer days are really numbered. Although in Southern California it will still be warm til Thanksgiving.

Happy Friday! Hope you have fun plans to look forward to this weekend, we’re supposed to get more record setting rain here today so naturally I’m flashing back to sunnier days last weekend. Jeff and I celebrated a relaxing little babymoon about an hour down the coast at The Hyatt Regency La Jolla. It was the perfect travel distance for me at over 8 months pregnant – no long car rides, no flights, no complaints. We were so spoiled all weekend, I want to go back and do it all over again!
