Petite Insanities

I ate this for lunch twice this week! Thanks, Melanie . The forecast is predicting sunshine this weekend. Maybe even enough to lay out? I'll be short one husband on Saturday so while it makes me a little sad... I'm welcoming the weekend with open arms and am sure I can find a few, little  projects  to keep me busy. Bloglove: * The hubs and I will definitely be attending this this weekend. * Loving this take on how the villains of our adolescence would look if they were alive today. * Come and visit me in LaLa Land ... * Eggs are awesome... and so are these great things you can do with them for Easter. * Come on, weather! It's  short-wearing time ! *  A really sweet moment . * Oh, to be a  princess . And OMG... Cannot wait for this movie! Have a lovely weekend! xo

My view walking to lunch on the first day of Spring. I love the ocean. It's so intimidating and wonderful. It looks like there's a chance of rain again this weekend but Ben bought himself a new (to him)  Townie 7D  so rain or shine, there will definitely be some bike riding going down.

Spring is starting to pop up around here and I can't get enough ! My first week back to work was super busy but I actually really liked getting back into the grind. Looking forward to a weekend bike ride, perhaps a lazy afternoon sitting outside at the coffee shop, baking something sweet for my sweetie and if it's nice enough, hopefully some time laying in the sun. Bloglove: * Erin & Stefanie show how to properly set your table with their sweet dishes. * The cutest "sunshine" project ever from Hula Seventy. * I so want to visit this little puppy shop ! * Wit & Delight shared a cozy new spring line from Bren . * The yummiest-looking  waffle concoctions ever! * Joanna shares the most amazing letter from John Steinbeck regarding love. *  Mayram  is just too cute. This trailer is both awesome and hilarious... Have a great weekend! xo

Ben snapped this shot of Cooper and I enjoying the sunshine. Cooper was very happy to see the lounge chair return to the patio this week. He loves his perch and I'm loving this warm California weather. My last week of freedom before going back to work went by way too fast. At least I'll still have my weekends to hang with my boys and work on my tan. And let's not forget daylight savings to extend the days to come.

I totally went blonde! Well, partially anyway. This week began with a  3 day juice detox  and ended with making Loukoumades (Greek donuts). Random, right?

In preparation for Lent, this week is the last we will see of sushi, shopping and many other little vices we love so dearly. Ben and I even bought a juicer yesterday. Come Monday morning, it's detox time. I'm partially excited and partially terrified. We have a true talent for motivating one another so I see good things to come on the juicing front. I'm sure I'll be sharing some recipes with you soon! But for now...

Oh, what a week! Mine was filled with afternoons at the movies, nights alone with my thoughts, card games with  friends  and fresh-baked  chocolate chip cookies . Not sure what lies ahead this weekend but I'm looking forward to sharing my time off with my two favorite boys. Bloglove (lots to share this week): * I have a new love for  pink depression glass . * This little  video advertisement  for balloons is super cute. * Ben and I plan to purchase our very own  my roots lie here  print shared by  Down and Out Chic . * Go  bold  or go home (think I can convince Ben that a little hot pink in the living room might be awesome?). * This is glamorous  takes us away  to barcelona, spain *  Dear Photograph , a new favorite found via  hellovanny . * Can't resist Becky's  bloody valentine cupcakes . * Um... wow...
