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!!

Intentions for the Week:

~~Fair Hair. Yep, you read it right haha.~~ (Thanks Allison!!!)
~~Decide what I’ll give up for 30-days next? Hmmm.~~ (scared as hell to write it down)
~~7th Grade Orientation. Can Mom’s go?~~ (Bay is ready for Wednesday)
~~Plan outfits for the week~~ (we’re both set for Wednesday – Friday)
~~Dinner with girlfriends~~ (good times, as always)
~~Soak up all the time with my girl before school starts~~ (one last hurrah this weekend)
~~Order the cute top I’ve had my eye on 🙂~~ (done)
~~15k steps a day~~ (killed it, again)
~~Make salsa chicken~~ (sharing this week)
~~YOLO COUNTY FAIR!!!~~ (obvi!)

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.

Happy Monday friends! We survived another Celebrity Golf Tourney. As always, such a good time. Friends + sunshine + celebrities + drinks! That’s what this annual weekend trip is all about. Hope you all had a killer couple of days too. Now back into the swing of things. Luckily I made prior plans to meet my homegirl for an early (4:30 am) workout….otherwise I’m pretty sure my snooze button would have gotten a good workout…HA! Bay started Algebra Academy this morning. And I’m hosting a rosé tasting + OC Housewives season premier this evening. Have you watched the trailer? It’s going to be ridiculous…just how I like it!

Highlights from the weekend……..

This was my third + final weekend in Tahoe for the month. I’m tired! Ha!

Always a pit stop at Strawberry Lodge. And the bartenders are getting better + better at making a skinny, skinny marg each time!

Pizza + carafe of red wine at Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. It’s just how we roll.

Quite possibly the highlight of the weekend…..karaoke at the Classic Cue. If you follow any of us on Insta-stories, then you know what I’m talking about. Classic Cue never disappoints on a Friday night. And we even roped some of our favorite Golf Tourney homies to partake in the amazingness!

Best part – one of the singers from Friday night, just so happened to be Andrea’s uber driver Saturday morning. LOL! You can’t even make this shit up.

Celebrity Golf Tournament

The 17th hole at Edgewood is such a show off!

We got the guys to take 1 picture the whole day. Thank god it turned out 🙂

Drink of choice: skinny, skinny margs. AKA tequila on the rocks with a squeeze of lime.

{4th of july tee’s + local firework shows}

Posted in California, Community, Cool spots, fashion, friends, Holiday Whore, Holidays, jcrew addict, kid style, kids, mom & me, ootd, Outfit Details, Summertime, Target, Twinning by xoxostacyb

4th of July is one of my all time favorite Holidays!! All the traditions that come with it are so fun!

We’ll be celebrating Independence day in Tahoe. Every year our family gathers at the cabin for the long weekend. Other than lounging at the beach everyday + watching the fireworks from Pope Beach, we really don’t have any other plans. Which is crazy exciting. I love anything + everything red, white + blue so I foresee some festive decor + crafts + yummy treats to celebrate! And since the 4th falls on a Wednesday……you’ll need to rock red, white + blue Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday + Sunday, right? At least I know I will be!!

I find red white + blue ALL year-long and think to myself “this would be sooo cute for the 4th!”

So, it’s safe to say, I’ve got a collection 🙂

Bay’s Romper ($14) // Stars & Stripes Tee

Bay’s Romper //

So, so cute. Bay’s only complaint, it needs pockets! It’s on sale for $14!

$17.99 + 20% off with code JULY4

Good morning! To be completely honest, I cannot believe it’s already Monday. I spent the last couple of days in Tahoe and it’s like I blinked and boom, the weekend was GONE! Not a fan of a Holiday landing on a Wednesday. Do you celebrate all week? Last weekend? Or next weekend? I say we just celebrate all July? What do you say? I get lots of questions about where to eat. Where to hike. The best beaches in Tahoe. I’m thinking of doing a South Lake Tahoe blog post. Is that something you’d be into? Leave a comment and let me know : )

Intentions for the week:

~~Blog June recap~~ – Done {june in review}
~~Grill peaches for dessert~~ – (and a peach galette)
~~Renew AAA roadside~~ – (a must with all the miles I’ve been putting on the old Pilot)
Hike a new trail
Make a recipe from the Inspiralized & Beyond Cookbook
~~Take lots of pics with Bay’s~~ ~~Instax camera~~ – (harder than it looks…iPhone pics are so much easier)
~~Surprise the kids with a breakfast donut board~~ – (cool breakfast idea for the kiddos)
~~Celebrate the 4th of July in Tahoe~~ – (So much fun with the fam!)
~~Watch the fireworks from the beach~~ – (it’s a tradition)
~~Wear red, white + blue all week long~~ – (I rocked all three tops)
~~Put up all the American Flags I can find~~ – (always)
~~Cook with salmon #craving~~ – (made baked salmon over lemon spaghetti…BOMB)
~~Survive the work week + HWY 50~~ – (barely)

Highlights from the weekend…….

Friday night, date night //

I’ve been wanting to check out the Revival at the new Sawyer Hotel in Sac. But, if you’re a male, you cannot wear flip-flops. At a bar that has a pool? Hmmmm! Doesn’t make much sense to me. Since Cory, (and I’m sure 90% of males on a 100 degree day) were also wearing flip-flops, we were turned away. Question, are guys encouraged to rock dress shoes + shorts? End of rant!

So we checked out Punch Bowl Social again.

When Stover’s Home //

We get together for drinks + a catch up sesh. Stover even shopped my closet for her outfit 🙂 Missing some homies, but always a good time. The three of us here, we’ve been friends for over 20 years. Crazy! We can reminisce about the good old days all night long!

Caboodle Poll //

I got another 100% poll Saturday morning. Every person who voted, once owned (or still has) a caboodle. I love when classics become popular again.

Beach Cover-Up //

I was so excited to pack this cover-up, that I totally forgot to wear it….Ha!

SZ Blockprints™ for J.Crew Kitty top

Peace Out //

Bikes loaded up, hitting the road

My favorite Place //

Found my favorite peeps at my favorite spot Saturday morning. Pope Beach!

Bay + Daniel ♥

Straight Chillin

Daniel loved my hat

Electra Snobs

Gangs All Here //

One of the perks to our cabin, a brewery right around the corner.

South Lake Tahoe Brewing Company

Love their blonde

We ended up making ourselves at home at the brewery, once we found out there was an active shooter in our neighborhood. SWAT + police EVERYWHERE! Right up the street from our cabin. Luckily it didn’t go on all night. They finally got the bastard and we were able to go home. Definitely makes for an interesting night!

South Lake Tahoe – deadly shooting

Car selfies with Bay while we wait for Cory

Friday Night Vibes //

We headed to Full Bell Farm for their Pizza Night.

Set up out camp

Popped open some chard

Listened to so music

I ran into Nancy and she gave me a quick little tour of the gorgeous kitchen. Best part, they have a dish washer that washes in 90 second. Umm, I think I need one!

Wood-fired pizza

Pizza time

The peach salad inspired me. Crazy simple, yet so beautiful + delish. Remember, I don’t even really do fruit and I really dug this!

We opted for a sausage pizza

And a margarita. I can’t tell you which one was better. It was a tie!

The homemade salted caramel ice cream….to.die.for.

The view from our chairs wasn’t too bad either.

photo cred: Bay

Get these dates on your calendar and go visit Full Belly Farm for one of their summer pizza nights. It is a trek, but totally worth it.

Pizzas are $15 each. We ordered 2 for the three of us and had leftovers. You can BYO beer + wine. Set up a picnic and hang out.

I’m now dying to check out one of their Farm Dinners.

Saturday morning //

Always prepping + cooking in the kitchen.

I’d swear I shared this one before, but I can’t find it anywhere. So, coming soon!

Pool day //

Bay + her flamingo

While Me + Nikki + Mom sipped rosé

Always feeding my people.

Happy first official day of summer (for the kids) School’s out for the summer! When the weekend blends into the week. At least for them. Ha! We had a super chill weekend. Just what we wanted + needed. And we’re following it up with a very mellow week. I swear one week (last week for example) is a total shit-show, then the next is so nice and relaxing. What are your kids up to this week? Camps? Hanging out? Bay started Volleyball camp today and absolutely loved it!

Intentions for the Week:

Order Bike Parade invites
Finish {summer staples} blog post
Bike ride
~~Make a BIG summer calendar for Bay~~ (think – lot’s of chores…lol)

Highlights from the weekend…….

Bay’s 6th Grade Promotion //

Not going to lie, we both shed a few tears walking to the car Friday morning. I told Bay it was the last time she’d walk on the school campus as a student. Crazy!!!

So, Bay got service on her phone. This was her promotion gift from me. Honestly it was something that had to happen, considering our summer plans. We have lots of rules that go along with it, but we’ll chat more about that this week.

Gram made her the cutest candy sign. Bay is a total candy freak FYI!

We spend the afternoon doing this! At 93, GG is still a damn good time!

Have you ever tried Baskin Robin Polar Pizza? Do it! Scroll to the bottom of this link and get a $2 off coupon

I made not one, but two of these pretty fruit trays. Think I can sell these things? Make a business out of making pretty snack trays?

The last couple of years, we’ve spent the last day of school at Robin’s. Thanks for having us! The kids swim. We chat. And Spencer feeds me chips + guac! Ha!!

Dinner with Friends //

Friday night dinner with friends. Bay fell in love with Brandon’s hoverboard. And now that’s what she wants to buy with her pig money. I’m still not a fan. They seem like an injury waiting to happen!

Easy Saturday Morning //

We had the most chill Saturday we’ve had in such a long time!

For some odd reason I decided to make blueberry pancakes. But, neither of us like pancakes or blueberries…HA!

Packed a picnic and walked the Arboretum. Check off the Spring To-Do’s!

Ended the day with date night + catch up sesh with the Truitt’s. They have the best swings in their backyard. I could sit there all night, except I’d probably fall asleep….I kinda did.

In case you missed it, let’s review what went down in May…..

23 blog posts.

Some of my highest viewing stats, thanks to the Patron sale at Nugget + my Mother’s Day Gift Guide!

Something else that caught my attention, I had views from 44 other countries. Forty four! Crazy, right? I’m really not even sure how that happens.

Here’s a little re-cap on what we chatted about in May:

{currently craving // may} should I do this again for June?

Bay requests this {crunchy iceberg salad bowls} weekly

According to stats this was my highest viewed post for May {gift guide: mother’s day}

{april in review} and 2 cute Target dresses

{friday 5} homemade pickled onions + a madewell top I love

Another good one {weekend notes} Mother’s Day + Lucky In Kentucky + my strawberry + baby daisy naked cake

Taco Tuesday {sheet pan shrimp fajitas} with a side of guac…yummm

This {floral top + random thoughts} is another one that’s been on maj repeat + it’s currently marked down to $17!!

Getting a little hippie-dippie with these {floral + herb smudge stick diy}

Now I want to go home and clean my fridge again after looking at this {friday 5} And I’m happy to report….Bay + I are still doing our Friday morning Starbucks dates too ♥

{weekend notes} celebrating GG + pool dates + hiking…that was a damn good weekend

So, {do you kimono} now?

Only 2 1/2 days of school left, do you have your {teacher gift} ready? Loved getting tagged in everyone’s pics that duplicated this fun gift idea.

Still obsessed with this crop top from {friday 5}

Anyone made these {mexican burgers} yet?

Spending the weekend checking out Cory’s old stomping grounds on {weekend notes}

Currently want to tie dye everything after making these {tie dye napkin diy}

Have you added any of these {food finds} to your TJ’s list

What a month!

Once again, BIG thank you to you for clicking on this website and reading. Thank you for sending me pictures of the cute tops you order from the blog. Tagging me in your pictures on insta stories. Texting me for that recipe. Tips on how to make the naked cake. You guys really do make my day ♥

And in other news, the dress of my dreams arrived last night. Remember the one I told you about yesterday on {weekend notes}?

I bought this dress for an event. Otherwise, I would have no place to wear it. Ha! I’m not a big get super dressed up type.

It’s like a gown. Never, I have ever owned a dress like this. The quality is top-notch. It’s elegant. Classic. The color is so vibrant. Super faltering silhouette…almost like it was tailored. The ruffle details are perfectly placed. And it has pockets! Basically the ultimate summer statement dress. Exactly what I was looking for.

Monday, why? Today I dropped a full mug of coffee. Completely flaked on Kaia. The snooze button won! My house got invaded by some weird bugs as I was walking out the door for work. Somehow wore my top inside out till about 15 minutes ago when I noticed.

Wishing I was back at the pool with these chicks right about now ♥

So there’s that. Peace out, Monday!

Intentions for the week:

~~Grill zucchini (doesn’t it sound so good?)~~ (will be sharing the recipe I posted on IG stores…so good)
~~Bay’s gonna bake and use strawberries…stay tuned~~ (did you catch her strawberry shortcake recipes on {friday 5})?
~~Homemade pizza~~ (you guys, I made a caesar salad pizza…I DIE)!
~~Asparagus caprese…yes please~~ (coming to the blog too)
Can you tell I’m hungry?
~~Can’t decide if I should cut my hair or let it grow a little…hmmm~~ (shorter + blonder)
Going super blonde either way though 🙂
~~Toast to our final Omega Nu meeting (till after summer)~~ (nothing for the rest of the summer!)
~~Sign Bay up for Faith Formation~~ (she’s not very excited..lol)
~~Make + blog a fun Graduation DIY~~ (did you catch the {money + candy lei diy}?)

6th Grade Dance //

My girl all ready for the dance. Bay did her own hair + a little makeup. She looked so grown up and beautiful!

And their off.

BIG thanks to Jason + Destiny for sending the girls to their first dance in style. I’ve never even been in a limo that cool!

While Bay boogied, we had SOL margs!

Full cup, Full heart, Full cart //

Saturday mornings are for two cups of coffee + online shopping in your PJ’s.

And those Trader Joe’s peonies are quite the show stopper.

I was invited to my first blogging event at the end of the month. So, I pulled the trigger on a pretty dress that I’ve had my eye one. You know, one of those you can’t stop thinking about, but really you have no place to wear it? As soon as I got the invite, I went to order this and it was sold out. Saturday morning is was back in-stock in one size. My size. That’s meant to be friends!

Striped ruffle maxi dress

This dress has mixed reviews, but for that price tag, I decided to give it a shot. I grabbed it in navy.

Eyelet flutter-hem dress

Since we’ve been spending a lot of time at the pool, these seem necessary. And I technically got them for Bay, but we officially wear the same shoe size now. So, I will be borrowing!

Tortoise pool slides

I love these leather hair ties. Bay has some in other colors. These are the Lee Middle School colors for the win!

Leather bow hair ties

Caprese Egg Cups //

Coming to the blog this week! So good + so easy!

Over avocado toast!

Bay Bakes //

Bay made a delicious dessert for us!

Also coming to the blog this week 🙂

Cousins pool day //

Happiest + cutest baby ever!

Say cheese!

Check out the frog.

Benny scooped him up in a solo cup to transfer him to the kiddie pool. Handed me the cup (with the frog in it). As the frog was trying to get out. I don’t think I’ve ever run so fast in my life.

Always laying on me.

~~Checkout the Before I die wall on Main Street~~ (really cool, check it out)
Play at the new park in town

Picked up a large ice-cube mold from World Market. Added some strawberries + raspberries + blueberries.

Kayaking Blue Lakes

Crazy peaceful

Check out that set-up. Yeti + Tackle Box + Fishing pole! His heaven!

Beautiful day on the lake

Fishing pit-stops

Lots of Bud Light Limes

Lots of “little fish” – Everett

Picnic lunch. A turkey sandwich is always so damn good!

Finding hiking trails

Rope swings

Checking out the local Ukiah watering holes

Dinner at Cory’s favorite – The Broiler

Bathroom selfies. The only time I wore sleeves all weekend.

When you ask for the smallest cut of prime rib and they bring you a piece the size of your head.

Views from our room at the Redwood House

View of Lake Mendocino from the porch! It really doesn’t get more beautiful.

We spent a lot of time sitting right here!

Coffee in the morning. Cocktails in the afternoon 🙂

Took Everett fishing

His first fish. If only you could have seen how excited he was. He caught 3 more right after this.

Cory showing Everett all the cool spots he used to fish as a kid

That reflection though……

Wine tasting at Barra

Their Rosé + chard were my faves, as always.

Built to resemble an upside down champagne glass. So cool inside.

Can’t wait to try out Testa next month when we go back.

Potter Valley Rodeo, the main attraction of the weekend

Keg beer + sunshine + cowboy boots ♥

I can’t remember the last time I went to a rodeo.

Small town signs are the best….

It’s Monday friends! Did anyone else notice that there are ONLY 12 days of school left? You guys, summer is almost here! This weekend felt like summer. The sun was shinning. We spent as much time as possible outdoors. Family time. Spent time with friends. Good rosé. Delicious dinners.

Highlights from the weekend…….

Celebrating GG’s 93rd Birthday //

She told me that with 3 new grand-grand babies on the way, come December she will have 21 great-grands. That’s pretty damn impressive. This photo below is just a handful of them ♥

GG + baby Daniel

GG + her homegirl Dot. GG’s mean-muggin.

Kid table

Cousins. Missing two. Can you believe that between us, there are 21 kids? Crazy!

The Royal Wedding //

Anyone else get up at the butt-crack of dawn to watch the royal wedding? I had to. Then when right back to sleep. Woke up with Bay and watched it all over again.

So gorgeous. I do think her dress was a little understated and was kind of swallowing her. But dress #2 made up for it.
