Summer So Far

Summer vacation is chugging right along. It is going great. Here are some random moments so far. Olivia was able to change out her earrings for the first time since getting her ears pierced. She was adamant about wanting "taco earrings." Thank you, Etsy.


Olivia is into making paper outfits for her dolls. Jackson is into drawing ingenious robot monsters, like Mechanical Werewolf here.


Juiceland lunch! We tried their raw coconut chia pudding for the first time. Chocolaty, rich and creamy.


Juiceland has my favorite floral, star jasmine, growing on their patio. Of course they do. Like I need one more reason to hang out there.


The very first garden harvest. Some serranos and banana peppers and one wee cherry tomato.


Lots of basil!


Taking a walk around our neighborhood pond, Mills Pond.


Duck friends.


Practicing sugar cookie decorating with mixed results.


Cherry season is here!


Building trucks at Home Depot.


Showing off the finished project.


Whole Foods goodies. Daily Greens juice for a quick infusion of veggie vitamins. Kickin Kombucha...my first time trying this brand, I was hooked by The Greens flavor with all its beneficial ingredients (matcha, wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, and kelp!) Also, a four-pack of Skull and Cakebones cupcakes: two chocolate with vanilla-beet frosting, two carrot cake. Gone in a flash.


And now I mustache you a question. How is your summer going?

First Swim

I tried something different this morning: oats with carrot juice, raisins, cinnamon, raw vanilla protein powder. The flavor was great and reminded me of carrot cake. But the vanilla powder got clumpy and gross. 


After dropping Jackson off at pre-K, Olivia and I stopped by Whole Foods. I picked up a Daily Greens juice. I buy them when they are on sale. Apparently I can't bring myself to pay $7.99 for a juice, but $5.99 is acceptable.


We were there to pick up fresh flowers for Jackson's teachers, since the end of the school year is drawing near. These happy pink daisies caught my eye.


For lunch I had avocado and tomatoes on French bread.


After school, the kids asked to set up the kiddie pool. It was definitely warm enough, so they changed into their swim suits and took a dip.


Water babies.


Remember the French bread from lunch? Here's what happened to the rest of it. I filled it with amazing Cheddary Broccoli Soup from Isa Does It. I have made this soup before and I thought a bread bowl would suit it perfectly.
