The weeks are long and the weekends short. Am I right? Never enough time. Although the weekend was gone in a hot one, it was a damn good one. Bay’s first middle school dance. She looked so pretty. Double date with the Truitts…that ended in a girls against boys basketball game. Apple picking. Really good margaritas. Little Mermaid in Carmel. And prepping for the week ahead. Thanks Hostert’s for showing us a good time!

Intentions for the Week:

Set a pretty fall table
Pack for Portland
Watch Bay play volleyball
Order Christmas cards before my promo codes expire
Master pumpkin pancakes
Library for new reads + returns
Shoot new #ootd’s
Mani’s + face masks with Bay
Figure out the Inxtax share printer
15,000 steps per day
Stay focused!

Highlights from the weekend…….

And just like that, I dropped Bay off at her first middle school dance. Is it just me or does she look 15 here? OMG!!

Some of the girls.

While Bay did the Kiki, we went on a double date with the Truitt’s. It was nice change to get out with no kids and catch up.

We peeked in the window at the new Avila Winters. Oh man, you guys need to go ASAP!

Saturday morning treats at High Voltage Donuts. We made a pit stop on our way to Salinas to try out the ever so famous baked donuts.

1 dozen to go.

My fave: GF almond joy

Bay’s fave: chocolate with M&M’s

The bacon maple was a runner-up. Along with the circus cookie. Never trued the flaming hot…totally forgot.

Bay is in sweet tooth heaven.

Saturday was the official First Day of Fall!

So we did the only logical thing…..

Apple picking. The fallest fall thing to do 🙂 Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville is pretty bad ass. We spent the afternoon walking though the apple orchards.

J.Crew Scoopneck henley shirt // Jeans // Booties // Scarf

My J.Crew package came just in the nick of time. This scoopneck henley shirt it EVERYTHING. I’ll share more this week, but get one before they sell out! It comes in white, burgundy and black!

I’d steal this kid and take her home!

Apple hunting

Olallieberry Ice Cream was the highlight for the adults. Apple slushies were the kids pick.

Fun time at Gizdich Ranch with these chicks. #girlsrule

hella kids & hella apples.

I’d say we were close to 115 lbs of apples between all these girls. Haha!

Luckily we stopped for margs at Jalisco first! Cheers!

It’s hard to believe we’re entering the very last week of summer. Crazy! Remember when I told you I was going to keep things short + sweet? Well, I’m going to do just that today. We spent the weekend as low-key as possible. Celebrated my Mom. Showered a new mama and baby coming into our family. Decorated with Mezger Zinnia’s. Church and more kickin it. Sometimes doing nothing, hung over or not, is just want the body and mind are in need of. Woke up refreshed and ready to kick this weeks ass! Rather than letting it kick mine again…lol!

Intentions for the Week:

watch Bay’s first Lee Middle School Volleyball game – (and they won…both games this week)
get blonde + catch up with my homegirl Allison – (thanks for dealing with my hungover ass Allison)
go to Target….it’s been a long, long 30 day – (I was disappointed…hardly found anything I had to have)
hang out with the Hostert’s ♥ – (always a good time)
share my shopping freeze diary – {i gave up shopping for 30 days…kinda}
create a fall inspiration board – (still gathering…but it’s getting close)
solidify Halloween costumes – (finalized…I’ll be a witch, again :))
complete our fall to-do’s – (coming next week)
meal prep lunches for the entire week – {meal prep tips + greek salad}
old navy try-on – (so much good stuff)
hit 15,000 steps per day – (killed it)
remember that everything is going to be okay – (#truth)

Last weeks Intentions: {weekend notes}

Highlights from the weekend……

Friday night we celebrated these two turning the BIG 6-0! My mom and her bestie, Ronda. They’ve been thick as thieves since high school. Their friendship makes me happy!

The OG’s – The original 4!

Tank (marked down to $29) // Denim (on sale for $79) // Earrings // Booties

I’m wearing the turtleneck tank that I shared the last week. You 100% need this in your closet!

GG always smiling

After a week off (kinda) it feels so good to type the words….Happy Monday! We’re back in action over here at xoxostacyb. What I mean by kinda is…I was busy working behind the scenes. Updating. Upgrading. Adding. Condensing. The BIG questions is….

What do you think of the changes? New layout. My personal ShopStyle link has been added to the sidebar on a desktop. Bottom if you’re using a phone. Just like the LIKEtoKNOW.it. You can shop everything from outfit details #ootds, products and home items. Basically, if I rock it or love it, you’ll be able to find it here. Click on the link on my blog or in my instagram bio, click “shop my looks” and direct links will be right at your fingertips. If you purchase something through my ShopStyle, I make a (very) small commission. So help a sister out…lol. Currently still adding items, so bear with me.

Another change….recent posts, Archives and Categories have been condensed and now offer a scroll down.

And you’ll likely notice there are now advertisements. Sorry! I know it’s annoying, but it is what it is.

Don’t forget you can always subscribe and receive an email every time I publish a new post. Go to Follow Blog Via Email. Type in your email address. Click FOLLOW. And you’re all set!

My new goal is to keep it simple. So although this is quite wordy, you’ll be seeing daily posts. Weekly reviews. Friday 5 and all the same xoxostacyb topics. Just in smaller scale.

So, I’m dying to know. What do you think? Comment below. On Instagram. Facebook. Let me know what you think of the changes.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program……

Intentions for the Week:

delete photos – (so satisfying lol)
plan a family dinner – (schedulded)
smog my car – (done√)
lunch date – (The Grad…cant remember the last time)
drink #hella water – (and pee all day long)
take a hike
find the perfect 2019 planner/calendar – (now I have to wait till Wednesday to order lol)
go apple picking
bust out all the Fall decor – (we’re half way there)
celebrate Mom’s big 6-0 – (love that lady)
mask + mani night with Bay – (our weekly thing)
register for 2018-2019 4-H – (It’s that time of year again)
phone date with Stover – (always feels good to catch up with a homie)

Highlights from the weekend…….

I have to stop and thank all these pretty ladies right here. They all showed up and supported and gave me all the feels. So grateful for great friends + family to share life with! Love you bitches!!!

So Friday we all met at Sarah P’s home. Her gorgeous home. We drank wine. Lots of wine. We snacked of pretty food. Like this grazing platter below. I whipped this bad boy up in about 5 minutes. Candied walnuts, crackers, rosemary, dried apricots, brie wedge, olive tapenade, honey comb and prosciutto.

We talked, a lot. The room was so full of laughter…it made my heart crazy happy!

We hit First Friday to check out bella moda boutique and Serendipity Boutique. Personally, my favorite shops on Main Street.

Once I’m off my spending freeze, I’ll be buying this Tequila Por Favor tank!!!

And this succulent skull!!!

We took my Mom and her bestie, Ronda to The Stag. My Mom, born and raised in this town has never been to The Stag. So, we changed that real quick.

I can’t thank Sarah P for opening up her home and hosting all of us! Love you homegirl!!

Happy Dance!

Hello Monday! After the weekend we had, I woke up refreshed and ready to take on the new week. Last week almost, kinda, sorta killed me. So, a relaxed couple of days in my most favorite place was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Intentions for the Week:

load up on H2O
use all the produce I’ve been gifted
face mask + mani night with Bay ♥
write out recipe for grilled steak with corn salad
18k steps per day
finish up {things I’m loving} post

make grilled hasselback potatoes
pack + prep for camping trip
donate/sale 5 items from my closet
miracle grow all my plants
go through Bay’s jeans…she wont stop growing
continue being punctual AF

Last weeks Intentions: {weekend notes}

Highlights from the weekend…..

We began the weekend the best way, celebrating. A little impromptu dinner.

I used to throw the most elaborate Birthday parties. With ponies + Disney Princesses + giant bounce houses + Taylor Swift cover band + butterfly releases. You name it! For about 8 years. Spent hundreds. Invited anyone and everyone. Now I tape homemade Happy Birthday banners that were made minutes before, to the wall. But guess what? Bay thought it was the coolest shit ever. And it didn’t cost me a dime. Crazy how things change and evolve over the years of being a parent.

We did, however, get the Timothy’s Bakery funfetti birthday cake. This is one of our many birthday traditions that will never change.

Bay + GG ♥

GG testing out Bay’s new beats by dre. And I kinda love that her life alert is sticking out around her next. God, I love her!

(Photo cred: Kissey)

Bay made a saran wrap ball game filled with money + candy.

That shit got wild!

About to boomerang!

I wrapped up Bay’s lunch for school. She said #embarrassing 🙂

Cory won for most creative wrapping papper. Nugget bag with sale adds as tissue paper.

Packing list for Tahoe:

Strawberry Lodge pit stop. It’s a tradition!

Cabin, sweet cabin ♥

This place never gets old!

Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. Another Friday night tradition. We walk to pizza. It’s right around the corner from the cabin. We secretly hope we see bears too…lol.

Home of the liters of red wine. And delicious pizza! Be still my heart!

Hey bartender.

Everything tastes better at the cabin too. Like my avocado toast.

Pope beach twins!

My dress is and old J.Crew from years ago. I scored Bay’s on super sale though….

Girls’ neon ruffle dress

Toes in the water

Ass in the sand

Not a worry in the world

A cold beer in my hand

Life is good today!

When you drive through Camp Richardson and there isn’t a line to the street at the Ice Cream Parlor, you GOOOO!

They say you only get 18 summers with your kids. I call bullshit. I’m 36 and my mom still can’t shake me! Hard to see but we’re 9,100 feet in the air on the HeavenlyMountain gondola with the most beautiful view of Lake Tahoe behind us!

We decided to try something new to us. We’ve always talked about going to the top of Heavenly, but just never do it.

Lot’s of time spent suspended in the sky with views like this. It even stops sometimes. Scary AF!

You have to hop out at the observation deck. Super cool 360 views of Lake Tahoe.

And picnic areas like this.

{this is twelve}

August 23, 2018August 23, 2018 xoxostacyb9 Comments

Well, today is the day. The day I became a mom. The day my life changed forever.

Twelve years ago I held her for the very first time.

Crazy to think 12 years ago this beautiful little girl once lived for a short time…inside my body. The only one that will ever know what my heart sounds like from the inside.

My note to Bay on her 12th birthday:

Bay, you have become such a beautiful young lady. You are kindhearted. You are crazy sensitive. You are STRONG! You are gentle. You are so full of joy. You are fiercely determined. Everything I ever wished you would be!

I promise to always be there for you, support you, and understand who you are. You bring so much light & laughter everyday of my life. I LOVE watching you grow ♥

Love you to the moon & back 1,000 times

xoxo

Mom

My Mom sent me this song a while back and I listen to it all the time. Makes me think of Bay every time.

Well friends, we’re in the home stretch of summer. Today I’m feeling equal parts excited AF for school to start and not sure “I’m ready” to drop my little girl off at Middle School. The Sunday scaries got me good last night. I tossed + turned over thinking. The hustle and bustle of school beginning has me getting all kinds of organized. Ready for the routine. The not so settling part – we’ve got so much “new” happening this year. The whole new school. Our morning routine is changing drastically. Hello zero period. You know what I mean? All that unknown stuff. Luckily Bay is beyond pumped which makes my heart incredibly happy!

I really wanted to dedicate this week on the blog to all things back-to-school. But, then I remembered that whenever I spend the entire week on one topic, I get so burnt out. So, we’ll be chatting about ALL THE THINGS. School. #ootd’s Organization. Oh and I’ve got the best easy weeknight dinner for you too. It’s a crockpot recipe I’ve been making for years.

Lot’s of Inentions for this week!!!

Intentions for the Week:

~~Organize ALL THE THINGS~~ – (anything + everything is organized AF)
~~Meal prep like a boss~~ – (killed it)
~~Pre-plan outfits…for me + Bay~~ – (this was crazy helpful in the morning)
~~Make lunches the night before~~ – (lifesaver)
~~Celebrate Toni’s Birthday~~ – (love hanging with my high school girlfriends)
Workout Monday – Friday – (failed…skipped Thursday + Friday)
~~15k steps per day~~ – (but I did get my 15k per day!!)
~~Forever 21 shopping trip~~ – (Bay found so much cute stuff)
~~EARLY bedtime~~ – (9pm yo my boo)
~~Punctuality~~ – (on time everyday…can I get a WHOOP WHOOP)
~~DIY Happy Birthday banner~~ – (we taped it to the wall….things have changed)
~~All the 1st day of school traditions~~ – (except Raley’s…so sad. Damn zero period)
~~Final Tahoe summer hurrah~~ – (just what the doc ordered)
~~Spoil my girl on the 23rd~~ – (obvi I went a little overboard, per usual)

Highlights from the weekend……

The Yolo County Fair!!

Beer me!

If I don’t drink another not-so-cold keg beer till next Fair, I’d 100% be okay with it…lol.

The tacos though, that’s another story. Why are they only this good at the Fair? 365 days is a long time away.

Say cheese

Just spying on the big girls ♥

The tornado

The Midway of Fun aka kids heaven! The most expensive place on earth…ha!

Annual Beer Gardens cousins picture. With the newest edition, Daniel.

Good morning! How was everyone’s weekend? Were you ready for the Monday alarm clock? I wanted to stay in my cozy bed, but I had an early morming walking date that I was looking forward to. So up and at ’em it was! This weekend I worked around the house. Got lots of odds + ends organized. Back to school season always gets in the organizing mood. Anyone else? Dinner with friends. Biked the CCT, but don’t worry we’re going to talk all about that in a sec. And celebrated a sweet 3 year olds Birthday last night.

Hope you all kick off Monday on the right foot! Have a good one!!

Highlights from the weekend……

Friday night dinner at Morgan’s On Main. I’m all about the beet salad.

We shared the special: prawn pasta with lotsa veggies. Straight up heavenly!

Up an at ’em. 5:30 is a little too early for my taste though….

Off to explore in cooler temps

I got DM’s about my top details….

I grabbed this during the Nordstrom sale for $40, it’s now re-stocked, but back to the original price. But, I love it and think it’s 100% worth it at full-price tag. And it comes in 4 color options.

FREE PEOPLE Rainbow Thermal Tee

The ocean! 65 degrees + sunny ♥

I’ve had the CCT on my to-do’s since last summer. CCT: California Coastal Trail.

Upon completion, the 1,200 miles of coastal trails will span from the Oregon border all they way through California to Mexico. How cool is that?

We chose to hit the 7 1/2 mile Half Moon Bay stretch from Pillar Point Harbor to The Ritz Carlton.

This trial is ideal for hiking + biking + walking + horse riding + dog + wheelchair + family friendly. It’s all paved and very well maintained.

Beginning: Pillar Point Harbor. The trail begins right in front of the parking lot. You can rent bikes here too! Bike Works + Half Moon Bay Kayak Co.

The first stretch of the trail, not bad. Restaurants + bars right along the trail here too!

Panoramic views of the ocean.

Piles of surfers at the first beach. This is the home of the famous Mavericks big-wave surf competition.

Highlights from the weekend……

Friday, Bailey spent the entire day riding + washing + braiding horses.

Straight up braid #goals

It’s pretty impressive the work that goes into getting these horses ready for a horse show.

Went downtown to check out First Friday. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new bella moda boutique, you need too. So many cute tops. And the priced are super reasonable.

Cory surprised me with Steve’s Pizza + extra ranch. It’s true love!

Rise + shine its horse show time!

I bribe Alex….bubbles for braids!

Spencer photo bombing Bay’s braid pic. Some day I need to learn to braid!

Woodland Stallion Station!

Bay + Ruby getting warmed up.

That smile says it all

Whispering sweet nothings ♥

So proud of my girl! She got her first horse show ribbon. And watching her do what she loves brings so much joy!

Cousins

Wish I would have gotten a photo of them all dressed up. Next time.

Amanda, the girls trainer. The girls adore her and their barn time with her each week.

Can’t wait to watch them do it all over again.

Off to the Roots to Wine Twilight Picnic

Tabor Ranch tasting room is looking really good

Let’s rock

We checked in, grabbed our glasses and opted to walk (instead of shuttle) to the venue. I’m really happy we did….the whole walk looked like this.

Rosé all day

All the local wineries hosted a tasting. First stop…Seka Hills! My favorite.

The picnic area was the place to be. The live band started right before the sunset.

Wine tasting in the barn

View from the top of Tabor Ranch.

Food trucks + pizza!

If only the skies weren’t full of smoke. This view is breathtaking either way.

My date ♥

Big thank you to Seka Hills for inviting us to the Root to Wine event. Such a fun night with all the local wineries we love so much!

My dress is on sale for $17!!! And it comes in 2 colors.

Women’s Off the Shoulder Smocked Top Maxi Dress

Pit stop at the casino….which ended up being the longest pit stop ever.

And I didn’t fall asleep at the black jack table this time…for the record!

Sunday morning vibes

Bay + I lounged all day long. It was so incredibly nice!

The cooking + serving crew at 4th & Hope! Teaching these kiddos to give back to the community.

I think it’s safe to say, we all had the feel good’s by the end of our shift.

We decorated the 4th & Hope table with Mezger Zinnia’s.

Hey there friends. How was your weekend? I cannot even tell you how relaxing and crazy chill my weekend was. I did everything I had hoped + planned to do. Like sleeping in (till 7am, but hey I’ll take it) Lounging on the couch with a cup of coffee. Watched all my shows that have been piling up on the DVR. Coffee + pool dates. Planted flowers. I was even able to sneak in a workout, which I never have time for on the weekends. Woke up ready for anything + everything this week is going to throw at me..HA!

Highlights from the weekend…….

We spent the last few days in Ukiah for Cory’s family reunion.

First stop was fishing, always fishing. This time in the same spot Cory grew up fishing.

Even Bay got in on the fun. I was in white jeans + sandals…not really fishing attire.

Cory’s family rented the Yokayo Ranch. This was our home for the weekend. It housed, very comfortably about 40 people.

I can’t tell you how perfect this space was. So lush + green.

Yokayo Ranch legit had it all. The Main House (where we stayed) with 3 bedrooms. A two-story bunk house. 2 cabanas with kitchenette and all. All the amenities you could possibly want + need.

The houses are surrounded by lawn + covered patios + pool + hot tub + outdoor kitchen + big screen TV + fire pit + lawn games. You name it. Makes hosting for a large group such a breeze.

Considering the amount of people, it never felt crowded.

I’d say Yokayo Ranch definitely exceed everyone’s expectations.
