{living life to the fullest and turning moments into memories}
Friday 5. I mean Saturday 5. I tried to get this post up all day and kept getting distracted. Better late than never. We’re off to the beach for our Annual Stinson Beach trip. The weather forecast is making me crazy excited. Stay tuned for photo overload! Whatever you do, make it a good one!!
Rumor has it, if you leave this sweet treat out, the Easter Bunny will come hoppin to your house. That is, if there’s any left!
Kinda like leaving milk + cookies for Santa, ya know?
Hopefully the Easter Bunny will fill your Easter Basket will all the best candy + goodies in exchange.
Question – Does the Easter Bunny fill your kiddos Easter baskets? Or just hide the eggs? I always gave the Easter Bunny all the credit. But this year, I’m taking it…Ha! I’ll let him hide the eggs.

Spring is here (beating a dead horse, I know) and so is our seasonal Bucket List. All the things we hope + wish + plan on exploring + creating + making + doing!
Keeping a running list is a great way to remember all seasonal things you enjoy doing or look forward to do. When we have a free weekend, I like to refer to our To-Do’s and check items off as we go
It’s just another manic Monday
Wish it was Sunday
Cause that’s my funday
Back to the grind! I like to start Monday’s thinking of 3 things I’m looking forward to during the week. Little or small.
This week includes:
What are you looking forward to this week?
Intentions for the Week:
This week on the blog: Easter table setting. Spring To-Do’s. Easter #ootd’s.
Highlights from the weekend……
You’re never going to guess what Cory + I did Friday evening…
Symposium in Davis is legit. Cory took me for the first time a few years ago and I fell in love with this little hidden gem. Amazing Greek food. And that pizza right there was divine! Bill Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger have dined at this place…..just a tid bit I thought you should know…lol.
Friiiii-dayyyyy! I can’t even wipe the smile off my face today. Just happy AF it’s the weekend. Got up early, early this morning and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Even decorated for Spring a little too. I LOVE walking in Friday evening to a clean house. Makes starting the weekend extra sweet! You guys, we have hardly any plans….AGAIN! I’m sleeping in tomorrow, that’s #1 on my list. I’d love to work on the patio, if Mother Nature cooperates. Hope you have a good one!
Coffee Table: World Market | Ansel Adams Yosemite Book: Amazon | White Pitcher: Pottery Barn | Marble Bunny ($2.99): Pier One| Magnolia Home Candle: Anthropologie | Glass Cloche: A Well Stocked Home / Crate&Barrel | White Vase: Pier One | Faux succulent: Serendipity Boutique

Spring is natures way of saying ” Let’s Party”
Warmer. Lighter. Longer days.
Raise your hand if you’re ready to party too.
With the start of the new season comes new recipes. Anyone else ready to fire up the barbie? With a cocktail in hand!
ONLY 28 more days till I will have a glass of chardonnay permanently in my right hand.
I have so many recipe ideas and not enough time. lol. Next week I’m trying a new burger recipe. Fingers crossed it turns out as good as I picture it in my head. Oh, and I’m going to give a new cookie recipe a shot. It has a secret ingredient. Any guesses?
But today, let’s talk about these chicken skewers.
Bacon. Ranch. Chicken…..these are a few of my favorite things.
I mean, if you don’t love those three ingredients, then we basically can’t be friends. lol!
I posted my lunch yesterday, which was these leftovers and I got lots of messages wanted me to tell you all about it.
So, here ya go…..

And just like that….it’s SPRING! To say I am excited for the season change is an understatement. I’m pretty sure you’re all sick and tired of hearing me talk about it. HA! Spring always seems to be the season we wait the longest for. Rain and all, I’ve got my eye on the long warm sunny days ahead!
What a better way to kick off the Vernal Equinox (when the sun shines directly on the equator and length of day and night are equal) and the first day of Spring, than with a fun Succulent Wreath GIVEAWAY!
First I want to THANK YOU!
As you know, I signed on with Shop Style Collective last September. Almost every item, fashion + home I can now make a small commission on. That is, if you click on the link, like what you see and purchase.
If you shop though my links on instagram or my blog, I GREATLY appreciate it. Whether you’ve shopped a link once or continue to do so I am extremely grateful.
I was able to surpass my initial goal with my ShopStyle account.
Insert: happy dance!!!
And that’s all because of YOU! It takes a lot of time and effort to find sales and link every item, but it’s something I truly love to do. And I hope you continue to follow along!
So, let’s do a GIVEAWAY!
I’m giving away a succulent wreath!
Details: 18 inch grapevine wreath with over ten live succulents in all different varieties. Stung with twine for easy hanging.
Here’s how to enter:

Tomorrow is the first official day of SPRING! I could cry….I’m that excited. Well, except there is rain in the forecast.
We’ve been all over the place today. Bay had an ortho appointment where they scheduled her braces removal. I cannot believe it’s been 2 years. And they also warned me that she’s going to look 10 years older than she already does. Noooo! She’s so excited and I’m so excited for her.
And I FINALLY got my car back today. I was driving a Dodge Journey for the last week. It’s wayyy newer then the ol Pilote. Has all the bells and whistles. And I was so excited to sit in the drivers seat of my 6 year old Honda.
I was also today years old when I learned that you can sign over a check to someone else. Where have I been? You just endorse it and anyone can deposit it? Doesn’t seem legit to me. I guess you learn something new everyday!
I had something else planned for today. Then I got a notification that my tunic, that I fell head over heels for, is on sale. 30% off! And it’s a newer arrival. So, this basically NEVER happens.

Wasn’t it such a perfect weekend? Hey Mother Nature, keep up the good work! We rested. We relaxed. We enjoyed friends + family. And we had corned beef and cabbage. I gotta say, it was a good one.
But, hot damn…I woke up on the wrong side this morning. I’ve been grumpy AF and I can’t blame it on staying up too late or a hangover…Ha! Tomorrow will be a better day though, I’m sure of it!
I loved seeing everyone making xoxostacyb recipes over the weekend. Makes my whole day. And all the Weight Watchers questions and newbies. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions….I got your back. And keep posting food pics. Love all the fun ideas!
Intentions for the Week:
This week on the blog: New recipe. Things I’m loving. Annnddd…a giveaway! Stay tuned!
