Huge, Exciting NEWS!!!

Don't you hate when someone tells you they have big news but they can't tell you yet? I have to be that guy right now. I am super duper excited for my secret news but I can't share with you until next week.

and NO, I AM NOT PREGGERS!!

So this weekend was busy and fun. We were invited to try a ballet class with Liv's friend Jianna on Saturday morning. The class is a little too early for my taste but it's worth getting up at 8 on a Saturday! Anna Maria is amazing! I loved her other classes but I'm ready for Liv to get more one-on-one training and work on her technique. She's on her way to becoming a ballerina.

After class, we met Aimee for lunch at The York *which is becoming my favorite place for lunch*

We had the afternoon to take naps and play tea party with Liv before we headed back out for the Nela artwalk.

This guy looks like Wills & Harry!
Shopclass had a mini craft fair behind their store. Too bad I left my wallet at home or I would have bought a ceramic necklace I fell in love with.
I love these napkins!
Our artist showing off her work
The Nela Kids art show will be at Mi Vida Boutique until September. Lovely stuff!
Noel is super sweet, she made this spray paint art with Liv
I'm so proud of my future street artist!

We picked up Coral Reef Chinese food in Atwater Village for dinner to go. It was better than Panda Express but cheaper than PF Changs. It was decent, authentic Chinese food.

Sunday we went to Antz Mom's house to borrow a few things from her. Clinnie cooked a delicious feast for Justin's birthday/homecoming from spending most of the summer at his Grandmother's house in Arizona. It's cray cray that I was there when he was born and he's 13 years old now. Dang, I'm totally a fossil!

Antz Mom, Dad, Justin and me back in 2000!

Designlovefest/ohjoy Yard Sale & Etsy Pop up Shop at West Elm


Happy March! Happy new header courtesy of my amazing hubby, Anthony!

Today was a beautiful sunny day. Our spring flowers are blooming in the backyard and the honeybees are happily collecting pollen from the pink flowers on our plum tree *and causing me to sneeze out of my mind*. I picked up a few pieces from Target yesterday to brighten the kitchen.


What a wonderful day for Olivia to turn 33 months old!


Bri *designlovefest* and Joy *ohjoy* had a yard sale this morning. I was looking for rugs and possible chairs for the living room/dining room but we didn't find what we wanted. I did score a B to add to our collection and I needed a huge bag of pink balloons.

I was thinking of this for Aimee but she might not have the room
I was almost sold on this rug, the perfect style and $40 price but it was teeny tiny for the space we need it to go.
Yeah! Rentals had some pieces in the yard sale
This vintage trunk was epic, but no room for it in my house
I really wanted to give this radio a home but we are filled to the brim with accessories, I have to stay focused on kitchen things. Yet, for $30 this guys still worked!

Liv scored an elephant that we are going to spray paint gold and turqouise
My loot and a few photos we took with my Fuji Instax camera
Bri, always smiling and fabulous
Stripes and dots and Joy!
After a quick lunch at home, we headed back out to the West Elm store to check out the etsy pop-up shop the lovely Emily Henderson was curating.
S M E G FRIDGE!!! I wannit so bad, but this guy is seriously tiny
Heirloom LA made delicious blood-orange juice with ginger


So many pretty things
I wish I got her name because she was super cute, and so was her jewelry too
We got some free soap samples from Fabled
Put a bird on that shit!
why am I obsessed with containers? Love these so much, they would look incredible on our wood countertops and our white subway backsplash
Fantastic stationery and cards

My favorite designer ever, Mrs. Emily Henderson. She remembered us from the Oh Joy book signing. WOW! #blognerd

We're going for an evening walk to the taco truck with my Mom now. Happy Happy weekend!
