The Weekly Capture

This week:

Tater tried to get the girls to toss the volleyball to her...

the fave songs of the week in teen/tween land are All of Me by John Legend (emma) and Fancy by Iggy Azalea (katie)...

I was lucky enough to have a sweet baby fall asleep in my lap while having girl time over a cup of coffee....

 

I got some love and support from my firstborn and his family, involving Tater, a latte, and peanut butter cups...

 

I spent some time in the dentist chair having a tooth pulled and a bone graft. It was painful and I have to say that I truly despise going to the dentist. But I love having teeth and I'd like to keep them for a while.....

Not the best week here, but there are still moments to remember, which is the point of the weekly capture...

and

watched some of my favorite people swim

and

snuggled with my little tater tot.

And

it was a good week.

 

Last week I:

 

relaxed on the couch with my sweetie

 

and

 

saw signs of  teen girl life

 

and

 



smiled at spring pops of color

and

shared a moment with this joyful girl

and

brought home happiness to my puppies.

And it was a good week too!


Hope everyone out there has an awesome weekend with their special somebodies!

OK. This is late. But I just can't skip my weekly roundup of moments...

Hard to believe I was at the beach a week ago! View from Craftcation in Ventura, California.

Saturday night we drove to Santa Barbara for a special birthday dinner for Tina. We even had a few minutes to check out the beach before the sun set.

That image with the cameras and the rainbow drips....that's mine. On Amy Tan's website. Yes, I squealed and grinned from ear to ear. That's my dripage...on Amy Tan's website....

Pizza and wings from Oregano's. Yum. We're trying to stay away from Pizza Hut. Too greasy. No bueno!

SMH in a text from boy #2. Couldn't figure out what that meant. Oh, now I understand. My life as the mom of a teen....

Remember a few weeks ago I spoke about cutting back on Starbucks? Well, I have. But it just makes meeting friends there that much more special!

My love for this light is not fading at all.

Our niece and nephew came over and stayed with us overnight last weekend, so of course I had to break out some new canvases and paint and let the finger painting begin.

While this was not Tater's first time inside Someburro's (a family owned place that I was introduced to in college and have been to 2.7 million times since), it was her first time eating their food. It turns out refried beans are a current fave of hers.

I hate buying new sheets. Hate how much they cost, hate making decisions on which ones to buy...which means I usually only own 1 or 2 sets at a time. It was time to buy a new set and I went with jersey cotton this time. Very happy. Not sure how long they will hold up compared to the Egyptian cotton I usually buy, but I like the softness factor. And the price. And hubby gets a gold star for picking out the stripes ( I was not capable of making the decision).

I took some time this week to slow down and play a bit every morning before I had to leave for work.  I'm still working my way through this class.

1.5 years living in this house, and I still love opening my eyes and seeing green when I look out the bedroom window. Go trees!

That's it for this week. Have a fabulous Sunday!

 // morning light // always at my feet //

 

Sunday was the family dinner/birthday celebration. This is the 3rd month that I've been hosting these get togethers and this month was my favorite. Trying to keep it simple with the meals (chicken and rice bake, broccoli, and cheesy garlic biscuits + lemonade + coconut rum drinks + chocolate cake and spice cake).

 

I decided we needed to start decorating for these events, but also needed to keep the costs down too. Fresh flowers (wanted daffodils but had trouble finding them so compromised on these beauties), and window swag. The top three were made from 1 plastic tablecloth. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud. Also, got to break out the new tablecloth we picked up at the Farmer's Market last month in Little Italy.

 

Tater is almost 11 months now. And that wide open grin with two little teeth, adorbs!

 

Can't seem to get enough of that morning light in my bedroom. Sipping coffee (from the kitchen) and going through the blog feed. It's a good way to start the day!

 

And this dog, always at my side. Always wanting to be near me. Greeting me at night with his butt wagging and little happy whines. No wonder he stole my heart!

 

Hope you have an awesome weekend!
