This was a fun week!



Completely Giddy.

I cannot wait to see these faces in 5 days!!!

So, so, so excited!

Today Was A Good Day.

Do you ever just have days that are SO productive and

so many things just make you smile?

Today was one of those days for me.

I tried to take pictures of all the things that brought me joy. 

I've been forcing my brother Travis and his fiance, Casie, to 

send me pictures of my lil niece.

I call it: The Daily Sidney.

These are the ones that totally made me smile today.

TWICE. 

 Crazy party last night.

These also made me LOL (oh, I hate that acronym).

 Drove to San Clemente to finish up the registration on my car.

Picked up Mexican Food and sat on the beach while eating my quesadilla. 

(and, how disgusting am I? My glasses are greasy because of my food). 

 Trader Joes.

The Bourbon made me think of the DeMartini's. 

Wouldn't this be great for truffles?

 Only in Orange County do student drivers get to drive Mini Coopers.

Really?!? 

 This little shop is right on the corner down the street from my house.

Sometimes, I purposefully go out of my way to drive by it because 

I just love to look at it. 

I bought some pink gerber daisies today 

while my car was getting warshed. 

 Drove down the road to watch the sunset.

 The anticipation of my 2 best friends coming here in nine 

LONG days! 

So, so much happiness today. 

I hope your day was as great as mine!

#febphotoaday. Week One.

I've been participating in the Instagram Challenge of taking one photo per day.

There is a list of 29 items that you need to photograph for each day of February. 

I LOVE waking up and looking at the subject for the day 

and deciding, "what will I see today?" 

It's definitely inspired me to think outside of the box.

Here's week one!

Day One: My View Today.

Day Two: Words.

 Day Three: Hands.

 Day Four: A Stranger. 

 Day Five: 10AM.

 Day Six: Dinner.

Day Seven: Buttons. 

My Wishlist.

Oh the things I dream about.

I cannot tell you how many times I am enjoying a beautiful day and all I can think about the days when I would ride my bicycle everywhere in Hawaii. I LONG to relive those wonderful memories and ride around on a bicycle in these parts. This is the beauty I've got my eyes on.



Since the sun has been particularly strong in these parts, I'm in need of some eye protection.

If you know me, you know I'm all about sustainability and I love ANYTHING made out of wood.

I am in love with these.

And, well, I wouldn't be me if I didn't include something with daisies.

This fragrance is WONDERFUL!

I bought the roll on (who knew they even made roll on fragrance anymore?!)

However, I want to buy this just for the bottle!

It's really too bad that I have such expensive taste these days...

Sidney Aynn Cart

I'm in love.

And, I haven't even met her.

I am officially an AUNTIE to this darling little lady.

Congratulations Travis and Casie!

I can't wait to love this little girl up.

My Mum.

Tomorrow is my Mum's birthday.

She is, without a doubt, the coolest mom on the block.

Every time I visit, or she visits me, she is so adventurous and is down for anything.

Here are a few of the reasons why my Mom is better than your mom.

- She fishes and goes crabbing regularly (and has her own fishing boat)

- Catches creatures and keeps them in terrariums so we can "look at them closely" (and has done this since I can remember: Bats, snakes, hummingbirds, tarantulas, scorpions, horned toads, etc...).

- Is a fantastic artist

- Can stay up all night long and work on creative projects or watch late night movies with me

- Randomly pays for the order of the car behind us in the fast food drive-thru line

- Watches pretty much the same TV shows as I do and keeps me up to speed on what I should know

- Must go to Disneyland once a year...at least.

- Homeschool's my brother and let's him choose what HE wants to learn

-The list could go on and on and on...

Happy Birthday Mom! You are Amazing and I love you!
