This week in pictures | Sept 9-Sept 15, 2013

Week 2 of dieting.  Still juicing.  But not for long.  It's my birthday in a couple days:


5:00 p.m. at our home:


Turkey/Mushroom Bolognese.  Theirs and mine:

"Mommy, can I wear my tie tomorrow for picture day?" This is David's son FOR SURE:


Oven Panko Fried Chicken.  Theirs and mine:


Homemade granola bars.  Theirs and theirs:


A superb coffee date with Joanna...on my BIRTHDAY!!


Spa water.  The BEST kind of water.  I spent 4.5 hours at Burke Williams:

David testing out the "dream" filter on my camera phone.  I LIKE it!


Sushi one day.  Potato skins the next.  I'm a flexible kind of girl:

Newport Beach here we come! I insist birthday festivities continue:


David has a love/hate relationship with Orange County.  He loves the sun, hates the housewives.

We stop at The Camp in Costa Mesa for lunch.  Inspiration is everywhere.  I wish we had something like this in the Valley:

The Camp, Costa Mesa

Went crazy for these distressed adirondack chairs decorated with recycled sweaters.  These need to be in my backyard!

East Borough.  The reason why we came to The Camp in the first place.

To have Lychee Soda and Banh Mi sandwiches!

God is sending me messages even in O.C.:

My phone crashed and died.  Photos gone of our time spent in Newport Beach and Balboa Island.  I'm devastated.  Note to self: always back up pictures.

Hope you had more LOVE and less loss this weekend!
