Every flower's reachin' for the sun

Is this week over yet?? We are so glad its friday. We get to hang out with Greg, and everything is more fun when he's around. Except going to Costco. In his own words, "Going to Costco together doesn't make it better, it just makes it suck less".  So yeah, he's fun, very wise and a wordsmith. Total package.

Happy weekending! I hope you get to hang out with someone who makes chores suck less too!

Hip Hop You Don't Stop

Spotted: One little ecstatic Easter bunny bopping around our backyard. 

It doesn't take much to make one tiny person SOSOSOSO happy.... which in turn makes this big person SOSOSOSOSO happy. 

mommy is wearing: this floral tank

little bunny is wearing: this romper, these sandals

I hope your Easter was fun-filled and sun-filled.

I'll Follow the Sun

I am obsessed with our backyard. If you follow me on instagram stories then you know. Sorry not sorry. 

When we bought this house 3 years ago the backyard was a swath of freshly laid green sod. Because we were in the middle of the worst drought in recent memory we knew it had to go. We enjoyed rolling around on it for a few months until it began to brown and then we ripped it all out.

We enlisted our friend Adam of Artizen School, laid out a new design and planted what seemed to me at the time; a very sparse amount of succulents and drought tolerant plants. What a difference a few years makes! Everything has doubled or tripled in size. We still have a lot to do, and are currently working on a few projects, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying it immensely. 

One of my favorite parts of the yard is our very own super bloom. To think that all i had to do was toss handfuls of wildflower seeds out into the yard before it rained. I wish I had such foresight in everything I do! The landscape changes daily depending on what's blooming, going from sunny yellows and oranges one day to happy pinks and reds the next.

Here's a few pictures of where we are at right this moment:

 You can see I still need to finish the path.  We tore down a concrete wall and are repurposing it. My goal is to finish it by Easter

 We waiting 2+ years for these Fan Aloe to bloom and it was worth it!

So come on over! We'll drink a bottle of Rose and marvel at the beauty of nature.

Catch ya later!

PEEP PEEP

Without kids or family around, Easter is usually just any another Spring Sunday for us. I don't really need an excuse to go out to brunch, wear pastels or eat an entire bag of Robin eggs. But now! I have visions of my little chickadee romping around the backyard finding carefully hidden in plain sight eggs and depositing them in an adorable little basket. I'm embarrassed to tell you how much time I spent perusing the Easter section at Target, contemplating the pros and cons of the bouncy ball filled with glitter versus the bunny bouncy ball. I can't wait to surprise her with her basket of bunny themed booty. and the letter of the day is B because clearly I've been watching too much Sesame Street.

In addition to the egg hunt here's our plan... 

I'm thinking this cake decorated like this 

this bunny basket filled with...

these treat boxes

this twist tie bunny ears headband that will end up on my head in about 2 seconds.

our own mini mena playsuit for the chickadee and of course a matching tank for me.

As much as I love to get crafty I know that in reality not all of this will happen. I do know that there will be cute outfits and there will be cake. There will always be cake.

You can have the outfits too, cake is up to you. If you order this week you can have them in time for Easter. Order by April 10th to have it guaranteed delivery by Easter Sunday. Here's the link!
