The 5 Things I Currently Crave & Love Most

#1 Vacation

I'll soon be packing my bags!

Let's just say I have not been on any trips yet this summer. With summer coming to an end I have been craving a vacation. Preferably with close friends. My vacation dreams will soon come true. I will be packing my bags & heading on a trip with 2 of my closest friends. Finally some much needed R & R with my girlfriends! We will probably spend the days lounging by the pool sipping ice cold drinks & laughing together. With me getting a much needed tan. Thank you Summer for not ending before my fun getaway!

If I could I'd sail away to somewhere tropical for the entire summer!

Maybe looking stylish & comfy like cute little Reese.

#2 A good deal

Forever 21 just opened in our town & although I can't pull off all of their funky styles, I love that I was able to purchase this blue button-up for 11$ (if you look closely you can see my 11$ price tag).

#3 Pretty home decor

#4 The color of sea blue

Like the walls in this study.

I like the geometric pattern on the curtains.

I love everything about this bedroom!

The orange chair is so fun paired with aqua blue & black & white.

This pretty little bathroom reminds me of my friend Hilary's pretty little bathroom in her downstairs entryway (wishing I had a picture of hers).

#5 Everything about my Nephew Judah

like how much he loves & adores his Daddy!

How when you play baseball with him, he says, "you're outta there" just like the umpires say. & you're always out when you play with him. I love that about him.

I love his cute little buns

his big smile that melts my heart

how he tells me he loves me

each & every new phrase that comes out of his mouth

(like when papa told Judah he was safe after running the bases during their game of baseball and Judah insistently said, "I'm out Papa!")

& his love for his baby sister.

a tour of my hometown

this is the village of arroyo grande it's about 2 miles from my house. it's the cutest little downtown full of quaint little local owned shops and eateries. i love to get a iced vanilla latte & a cinnamon roll in the morning at andreini's coffee shop. i have to practice self control to not go there every morning.

montana de oro is a beautiful state park with beautiful hikes and lovely views of the ocean (it's a bit of a drive but so worth it). the water is a bright aqua blue, practically see-through & it's breathtaking. i love to visit here with my friends.

shell beach is so amazing! it's a small beach town with lots of quirky locals and another one of my favorite coffee shops, the steaming bean. they make great breakfast burritos too! my dad practically lives there since he has been developing lots of homes there (which are so beautiful)! my friends always tell me they saw my dad in shell beach.

this is avila beach. i love it, it's by far my favorite beach here! we used to visit it when we lived in the valley on our summer vacations. i also love surfing & judah is my favorite little surfer!

i love the beach and seashells and anything that has to do with the ocean! i feel so blessed to call this place my home. even better that my family is close by too.
