some days seem hard, struggles and daily grinds get in the way, and i find myself forgetting about the what or really the who that makes me happy in my life. when i think about it, these little petty things that have absorbed my day completely, don’t matter at all in the end.
this little song has brought me back down to life lately and has reminded me it doesn’t matter so much where my home is but more who my home is. it doesn’t matter where, or what, or why we live wherever we do or decide to, as long as i have this beautiful little family by my side. 
i have loved this little song lately :: enjoy it if you like ::
(i sort of wish i could live in this video)

    

a celebration

i wish it was our anniversary everyday just so we could eat at tiburon daily. it’s five courses of heaven (i totally spaced the picture of dessert, creme brulee, it was so good i couldn’t stop before we devoured it all). starting with the best appetizer man has created, braised pork with brie cheese and caramelized onions (sorry if i’m making you hungry, i’m making me hungry!). 
it was so fun to get out and enjoy the night. the entire week before i had been so sick and the ten fires surrounding our little valley was not helping matters either. because of being sick and the thick as jell-o smoke coating the air, it has been a while since we have gone anywhere for a little date night, let’s just say i was extremely excited to do so.
and movies, well that is a whole different matter. being that our front yard is a movie theater you would think that meant we have seen everything there was to see from top to bottom and in between. a year ago that may have been the case, however, lately it has been a rare occasion that we sneak out for a movie night and to be honest i wasn’t even sure what was playing. seeking a friend for the end of the world was actually a movie i had been wanting to see, mostly because keira knightley and steve carrell in a movie together? i was intrigued! – and also because it looked, well for lack of a better term “cute”. 
although i really loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone and everyone, i’m not sure i would want or will ever see it again. i am a total sucker for happy endings, and while not wanting to give away the ending, the ending was, well. . . sad.
all in all, we both had a wonderful night. thanks again camden!

the most delicious salad with fresh apples and candied nuts

raspberry and lemon sorbet to cleanse the pallet

pops of color :: fashion trend to try

i love the transition of winter to spring summer clothes (is it really summer? where has the time gone??). clothing gets more colorful and bright, brought back to life with the rest of the world.
i have been surprisingly drawn to the color yellow this year, which is rare seeing as in past years i have sworn the color off. subtle pops of it are so fun, it’s so bright and cheerful. i’m especially loving that chunky yellow necklace (seen above). i love finding unique jewelry that makes a statement yet still stays classy and beautiful all at the same time.
in years past, i have found it sometimes troubling to find jewelry that i have really loved that hasn’t gotten lost in what i’m wearing. i’m usually drawn to little pendants on simple gold chains and what not, but i think that’s why i love this necklace so much, because it is something different from what i would usually choose but still stays true to who i am. it totally livens an outfit up, you know?
my style trend to try are pops of color with unexpected pieces. a little more fun, and a little less serious . . .
