I made this chicken the other day, it really is delicious...just as good as this one by Barefoot Contessa which is awesome.

The top picture above lead me to find the cute blog The Vamoose and discovered this beautiful jewelry. They are doing a giveaway and if I won, I would choose one of these single pom pom necklaces. So precious!

I have officially found, after trying so many recipes, the ~perfect~ frosting. This swiss buttercream recipe I found at the blog Smitten Kitchen is to die for.

I can't stop reading this blog and looking at the gorgeous photos.

baby # 2

when we have our next baby I would love to do some cute announcements. With Isla, I was just not even in the frame of mind to organize all that, I was too tired. Hopefully next time it will go smoother. Anyway I am in love with this announcement shown above and I also love the idea of laying a baby on some gorgeous fabric as a back drop....

every once in a while I go check out what this artist is up to and so far I am always so amazed, I love these so much.

a drop of golden sun

yesterday we finally saw some sun and it felt so wonderful. while Isla napped I went to lay on a blanket at Baker beach to soak up some vit D I have been missing out on. It was so beautiful with perfect weather. My favorite part was seeing the dolphin, that made my day!
