<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #999999;">So far.... </b>things have been moving pretty steady on the home updates. We purchased our home on moving out here to California and we knew it was going to be a commitment and needed some TLC. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I have not been on top of the ball as far as keeping our renovations posted so I'm going to try and give an idea of where we started and where were at now. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> It took us about 7 days to complete the large living areas, kitchen, laundry room, stair case, and closet. We also had to redo the whole down stairs base boards. There were two different sizes throughout the house and so we made them all cohesive. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> We still need to put in the transitions, and the baseboards to match the downstairs. We are also going to have a carpenter come out and match the thicker side trim below the railings on the right side and do it on the left along the curve. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Wowzers! it seems like a lot!, but was accomplished little by little over a four month time frame and were still working on it. I'm really enjoying what we have been allowed to accomplish, but at the same time feeling a bit daunted by what we are wanting to accomplish. Next two months are budgeted for working on our front and back yards.... guys right now we have just dirt and weeds so I am excited about it! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> This is our first fall season here in Cali and we were able to squeeze in some festive family events. We went into the wine country of Temecula to <a href="http://www.peltzerfarms.com/">Peltzer Farm</a> and had a blast! There is pumpkin picking, petting area, pig races, train rides, pony rides, food and plenty of memories to be made. Its only open the month of October, but there is a winery located at the farm as well and they host weddings and much more throughout the year. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> This past Saturday we drove down to Fallbrook and enjoyed the <a href="https://discovermyrtlecreek.com/craft-fairs-farmers-markets-and-events/">Myrtle Creeks Fall Festival </a>. It is a two day event where there is local craft vendors, food, a hayride, goats to pet, and pumpkins to enjoy. It is much smaller than Peltzer Farm, but it makes for a nice easy morning outing and being able to enjoy the season. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">Fall has yet to show itself here in Cali. We have had cool mornings and breezy days, but nothing that sends that chill down your spine and has you running for your coziest sweater. I am not expecting a New England fall by any means, but highs in the mid nineties is down right discouraging. So for now I can only dream, and be inspired by images of fall and hope the weather takes a change soon. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;">Right now we are not tackling any BIG home projects, but that does not mean I have not been a busy bee. I left SC with a to do list and have been trying to complete it here in Cali. A dear friend gifted us a kids table and chairs that were well loved and used by her little boy. I had plans to revamp it and make it a bit more feminine for Payton, but still a bit neutral for future use. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> It is a simple table with two yellow chairs and two red chairs and a royal blue table with matching frame. It took me a while to narrow down material and colors. I knew I wanted an oil cloth in a relatively simple classic pattern. I found this on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OZ4E9F4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">Amazon</a> and it is sold by the yard with free shipping so it was a perfect fit. I decided to paint the chairs Krylon's Catalina Mist in satin. The four chairs took four cans of paint to cover up the bold primary colors.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> I chose to work with the royal blue frame and not to paint it a different color. I found the matching color to spruce it up and cover some of the dings and nicks. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> Second project was one of contention with my hubby. We have this decorative framed wall addition in our dinning room that he is not a fan of. I personally am not "in love" with it, but can live with it and wanted a stab at trying to make it work for us. I figured if it was an epic fail we can just rip it out, but that would include new dry wall, paint, and a lot of hassle. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> I used basic chalk paint and needed two coats to completely cover everything. The items on the wall I collected from several different places and I really enjoy the ability change things up at any time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(Other items: the three pots I found at Joann's, the basket they are sitting in I got in Japan, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but have seen many like it at Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Target) </div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> Finally, I have these side stools I found at Home Goods four years ago and I used them pretty much in every room in our South Carolina home. They are versatile can be used as extra seating, foot stools, table, and can be easily moved out of the way for those impromptu dance parties. What was not working for me was the material it was hard to keep clean and over the years had a dinginess to it. Not to mention once we had a toddler game over! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;"> So recovering them seemed a good option. I knew I wanted a warm, buttery, cognac faux leather, but I really did have a hard time trying to find what I was envisioning. I went to Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, online shopping at Amazon, fabric.com, and finally found what I was looking for on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1183057081">Etsy</a>. Love the color, it is very easy to work with supple, its eco friendly faux upholstery leather so can really be used in so many ways. </span></div>

After living overseas, and becoming a mom my online shopping skills are honed in. Even though I enjoy getting out, kid free, and shopping solo for a few hours that really only happens once and a while. So my main perusal method is online when I can carve out some time usually my kids nap or bed time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> So I thought I would share a quick post on my most recent and loved purchases from Etsy. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Williams have pitched our "short term" tent in Fallbrook, Ca since the beginning of June. Despite the situation not being ideal the location really is a huge blessing. We were able to find a lovely tucked away airbnb in the hills of Fallbrook. The owners are an "more mature" couple who have graciously opened their one bedroom detached mother-in-law cottage to us. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> We have use of our own living space, kitchen, laundry facilities, outdoor dining, and pool area. What made this place attractive to us is they had several weeks in a row open for renting so we would not have to move around a lot. Also, they are working with our flex closing date so we won't have to move to another place before we move in to our Temecula home. Sweet peeps! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #073763;"> Fallbrook is a smaller community, but can boast of </span></span><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">some really lovely hidden treasures that Payton and I visit on a weekly basis. We love going to </span><a href="https://discovermyrtlecreek.com/" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens and Nursery. </span></a><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> It is literally 5 minutes down the road from us and is truly such a tucked away treasure. It is a gardeners inspiration and Payton loves walking around the grounds and feeding the goats! Even though it will be a 20 minute from where we will be living I'm still planning on coming to buy some of my plants, and just to hang out and enjoy the gardens. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> According to one of the employees they decorate for the fall with pumpkins and go all out for Christmas with real trees, and fake snow... defiantly will be checking that out</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The nursery is also right next to a local park that we visit regularly, <a href="http://www.sandiegocounty.gov/parks/picnic/liveoak.html">Live Oak Park </a>. We usually go there for the play area, but there is plenty of shaded pavilions, and eating areas as well as across the road a designated enclosed dog park. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> You know when you have those mornings when the sooner you can get out of the house the better for all involved, well on those days Payton and I go to <a href="http://www.fallbrookcoffeeco.com/">Fallbrook Coffee Company</a>. They use fair trade coffee and their net proceeds to back to supporting the Fallbrook community. Its a relaxing, local shop with great coffee and food. Payton loves watching the fish that they have in their out door fountain area. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Lately my mind has been spinning and twirling with DIY ideas. Most of the homes we have looked at and considered all need some form of upgrade and several projects would be required.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Kitchens are one of the bigger endeavors you can tackle in a home upgrade. So many connecting elements that need to flow and compliment as well as being practical and usable. For most families the kitchen is the heart of their living, laughing, and memory making. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> First order would be to figure out the layout you want/ or have to work with, and then what elements can you keep, reuse, or need to replace. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> For now I am left to dream about all the possibilities and wait till I have an actual kitchen to work with. When we get into a home I'll post all our improvements we tackle in hopes some of my leg work, mistakes, and ideas will make it easier on someone else trying to do the same. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">.... I'll leave you with some images that inspire me.... </span><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> We have been in Cali going on seven weeks now and living in our second airbnb. Our first 10 days my parents come out with us, my Dad driving with Greg, and the ladies flew. Driving from Sc to Tx with a two year old was enough for me flying the second leg of the trip was a life saver! We were able to snag a quaint cottage in Oceanside, Ca about a block over from the beach. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> Despite having our house hunting hats on and being laser focused we were still able to relaxing to the sound of the waves and enjoy the ocean breezes. It was such a blessing to have my parents for the time that we did. As a mom I define luxury so differently now, while my mom was with us she made me coffee in the morning and breakfast! WHAT!!! it was like a warm blanket and on par with an uninterrupted great nights sleep. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">We ventured out today to the San Diego Zoo and had a blast. Payton's first trip to the zoo and she was on a sensory high. It was a lovely cool morning and we got there right when it opened which is not hard when your kiddo is up at 6:30 ready to play! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> It is an easy zoo to navigate with plenty food, shade, and rest areas. User friendly maps to help you figure out what animals are where and despite some hearty hills it really is not a bad walk. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> We got tons of compliments on Payton's dress and how "appropriate" it was for the occasion. I purchased it months ago, sadly not available anymore, because I just could not handle how cute it was. So thought I would do some online shopping to find some other stellar threads that would set your little one up for zoo-tastic success</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well its been a <span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>LONG</b></span> time since I have written, (like 2014...) and life has been busy, but I am trying to rededicate a portion of my time to blogging more. If nothing else to keep friends and family up to date on our crazy life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: #0c343d;"> </span><span style="color: #134f5c;">Location</span>, <span style="color: #76a5af;">Location</span>, <span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Location</span></b> - good place to start! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> We have moved from Beaufort, Sc to Pendleton, Ca. In all honesty we are still moving.... since we have not landed in a home yet in California. Because of the constant shuffle from place to place I still do not feel like I have fully processed our move from Beaufort. I do <u>know</u> that I deeply miss our friends, church, and community there. Other military friends and people who move often can sympathize with the emotional drain it takes on you building friendships, memories, and connecting your lives to those around you just to have that taken away and to start all over again. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>BUT</b></span> on a more positive note if we never moved to Beaufort we would never of made those sweet friendships, grown spiritually, and have the community there who stood beside us and walked with us through life and our entry into parenthood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Being a new mom these days I find myself daydreaming about free time and mourning the "me time" I use to enjoy copious amounts of. I treasure my precious baby girl and feel blessed to witness all of her nuances and to see the miracle of life and growth in her. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> It has got me thinking about what a couple of free hours to refresh my spirits would look like. I love cafes, flower shops, old book stores, farmers markets, antique shops, and boutiques. The ambiance of these venues allows me to unwind and tap into my creative side. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Its taken some time, but 99% finished with our baby girl's room and feel super relieved about it. There are still some small additions I have in mind, but I have a feeling I will be adding and tweaking things for some time to come. I did not adhere to any kind of definite theme more of a eclectic, anthropologie inspired vibe. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> There are aspects that are old, new, gifted, and blue and I like the fact that I was not painted into a corner by using a narrow set of colors or theme. This is totally my preference I know others find more beauty in a cleaner, more "put together" look and I have also seen some stellar examples of this type of style. For me the more defined my style the more frustrating it is for me because I will search and search for just the right color or look, and end up sucking out the pure joy and freedom of discovery. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">* Figure out your needs: Are you mostly in a work place environment, stay at home mom or worker, working out a lot, are you in meetings most of the time or chilling at the park or coffee shop (drinking decaf of course). This will defiantly drive what outfits are most practical for you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">* I tend to lean towards neutrals and bring in pops of color with accessories that I already own. A grey v-neck t-shirt can carry you a long way wither it is under a blazer, or paired with a comfy maxi.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: cyan;"> </span><span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><span style="color: #999999;">I have been recently introduced to a wonderful organization whose mission is simple, but profound. Sole Hope is an organization that saw a huge need in Uganda and did something about it. There is an epidemic that runs rampant especially among children in subtropical countries it is called jiggers. This is a flea that burrows into the feet of their carriers and lay eggs that become infected and cause serious pain. The egg sac can be removed and the area treated, but unless the problem receives a permanent solution it will keep happening again and again. </span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #999999;"><u>Sole Hope</u> has met this challenge by organizing teams to go into Uganda and clean out these little ones feet, and then provide them with shoes to prevent further infection. This is where you can help. You can get a bunch of friends and family together and throw a shoe making party! It is simple, fun, and a practical hands on approach to helping those in need. </span></b></span><br />

Here are some easy recipes and ideas you can use in your home for holiday parties, events, or just for yourself. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> All these recipes are very simple you essentially place the ingredients in a pot add water and simmer.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> * Cover and place your crock pot on high for 4 hours minimum. I cooked on high for 4 hours and then on low for an hour. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The chicken was very moist and flavorful and I was able to use the left overs for a chicken pot pie the next day. Wonderful way to extend your meal to the next day and to be healthy and ultimately hands free. </span><br />

I thought I would round up some tips on money saving ideas, tips for what to look for, and a fun new recipe that will help you as you transition into the fall foodie mentality. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #999999;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Tip 1 - Buy in season, which should make sense, but a lot of times finding out what is in season in your area can be challenging. I found this site that you can click on your state and it will show you <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/seasonalcooking/farmtotable/seasonalingredientmap">whats in season monthly</a>. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Tip 2 - Not all organics are equal and all of them usually cost a pretty penny. Here is a list of produce that you won't want to skimp on when decided what to buy organic or not. </span></span></span></span><br />
