Hi guys! Sorry I’ve been sort of M.I.A. since the middle of last week. Turns out I was so excited for Labor Day weekend (and so slammed at work) that I just didn’t have much energy for blogging. But it’s back on this week baby! Woooooot!
What did you do for the holiday weekend? I went with husband and husband’s family down to beeeeeeeeeeautiful Southern California. And honestly? It was just what the Doctor ordered. It had been a while since I’d been down south, and let’s just say that I was quickly reminded of why people get hooked on So Cal. It’s some kind of wonderful down there. Gorgeous weather, gorgeous beaches, gorgeous landscape, cool restaurants and shops everywhere you turn – I could go on and on. Oh – gorgeous people too. Which was one thing I was also reminded of – try living in So Cal without feeling like you need to upgrade your car or your house or your nose. Tough thing to do I bet. Which is why, as beautiful as it was, I’m fairly content with our little Nor Cal Bay area life. But it sure was a nice getaway, with the best company.
This swimsuit comes from Swimspot. If you haven’t checked them out, ya should! Pages and pages of adorable, really inexpensive swimwear. Woot!

Happy Birthday to my drop-dead gorgeous Sissy!
For always keeping it real and being willing to tell me the brutally-honest truth, for being my favorite person to talk about nothing with on the phone, for being one of the strongest ladies I know, and even though we usually annoy the crap outta each other at least once any time we’re together – turns out, I love your face off.
Happy B-Day Hilla Billa!
Have a ‘Wish it were still the weekend’ Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping by.
those sandals are so cute!
