{weekend notes}

Happy Monday Friends! Not sure what it is about today, but it feels so festive. I guess we are officially kicking of the first week of the Holidays!!! I’m at work though…ha! Just knowing we’re going to finish off the week with turkey + pie…lots of shopping! Oh, and we’re headed to Tahoe to cut down our tree this year. Stay tuned, we’ve never done this before. I’m sure it will be a shit-show. I have my heart set on a couple of trees this year. I know, crazy. Considering I live in a tiny ass condo!

Okay, hold on tight, this week is gonna be over before you know it!

Intentions for the Week:

work on some gift guides
cut down out Christmas tree(s)
american eagle try-on
set a cute kids Thanksgiving table
drink more water than chardonnay…this is gonna be a hard one!
tackle outdoor Christmas decor
a new spin on the classic pumpkin pie
host Thanksgiving
head to the cabin ♥

And here’s a little recap of some of the highlights from our weekend….

When you finally get to #chardsohard with your homegirl Nikki!

“make us look super hot and super skinny please!” HA! It’s been the saying for years now!

We celebrated this babe turning the big 4-0! Lookin hot AF + young AF! And still a damn good time!

Us ♥

You guys were blowin me up about my sweatshirt. It’s full-price, which I rarely do…but I made an exception for this one. It’s perfect for that, I wanna go out, but I also wanna be cozy AF! This is it my friends! Ha! Linked some other leopard-dot print items from Madewell too!

Cory + I were first timers at Chick-Fil-A! So damn good. I feel like I’ve really been missing out. Those nuggets are legit! Thank god there isn’t one near me 🙂

Filled up the cooler and hit the road. His < Hers

Can you guess who’s is who’s?

First thing first – Spud Point. For what I believe to be the best clam chowder + crab sandwich in the area! So good that we went back Sunday for more!!

And did you know they have a chowder only “express line” Brilliant!

The view never gets old!

We drove up the road to Bodega Head for a family hike! We always do Goat Rock, so it was a nice change. And I have to admit, all the coastal trails are pretty damn beautiful!

From the parking lot we saw these massive bubbles. It was the Bodega Bubble Lady. She makes + sells these giant bubble wands + bubble mixture.

She let Bay give it a shot ♥

She said it was so satisfying..lol.

My views!

Bud light always in hand.

The Abarcas

Finally some clean, clear and blue skies!

the best I could get (Benny’s face)

Bud light lime, also always in hand lol!

We camped at Casini Ranch, and I somehow didn’t take any photos. WTF? I’m failing at this lately…lol. My parents + sister and her family had their trailers. Since we were making it a quick 1 nighter, we opted to tent camp. Let’s just say, we vowed to NEVER tent camp after September again! Cold AF!

I did manage to get a blurry photo of our dinner!

All day I begged Cory to pull over and let me clip some of these.

He finally did. And Bay asked if she could cut them for me. I almost cried, I was so happy…lol.

And yes, I know we looked like a bunch of okies. I’m 100% okay with it!

Camp breakfast. My mom doesn’t fuck around! Micaela’s California fresh tortillas + salsa for the WIN!!

With a side of bud light lime…breakfast of champions!

Remember this pretty pumpkin centerpiece? I left if on my table. For a week. And it rotted! And my house smells worse than shit. I’d actually rather a dog or human crapped in my house than this rotten pumpkin. PSA – this centerpiece will not last a week…FML!

My homegirl Nikki brought me back this beautiful handmade table linen from India. So, I re-set my table. Problem solved!

Sunday dinner! You know it’s gonna be good when your avocado is perfect like this. Pretty sure he paid like $4.99 at Nugget though. #worthit

And crab! We picked up fresh crab in Bodega. So damn good. Bay even decided she liked crab after last night dinner! This could be a good thing….and and a bad thing…lol!
