This year I am teaming up with Sweet Birdies Nest, a fun and whimsical custom card design company to create holiday cards for your family after our mini sessions!

Happy Hump Day!

We are so fortunate to have a farmer's market year round and 6 days a week where we currently reside.  Twice a week the market is held a walk/bike ride away so Mike and I often times find ourselves walking up there together to pick up things for dinner.  Sometimes  often times, I am busy working and Mike will go up to the market alone with a sticky note list (you know, because I have a thing for sticky notes!).  The other day Mike came home and announced he had a surprise for me..."really?" I said doubtful, because I was thinking big...like Paris vacation big or let's-sail-around-the-world big.  Mike proudly pulled okra out of our market bag and said, "Look what I found for you...you've been searching for this for over a year and I finally found it for you!"

Growing up in the South, I always had okra readily available and my grandparents grow it in their garden (still!).  I remember being in 3rd grade and sharing with the class my favorite eats and I said okra and chocolate ice cream...let's just say the entire 3rd grade was a little weirded out by my proclamation of love for okra!  After moving to Santa Barbara, I have yet to find okra and I was so excited that Mike found it, we just had to eat it all that night....

It's the little things that count :)

and since I'm sharing an image of okra, why not throw in an image of one of crazy tomato plants...it is still mind blowing to me that we have strawberries and tomatoes growing in October!

Happy Monday :) 

So, what's new with everyone?  It's super warm here today in Santa Barbara (feels so great after all the recent fog) and I'm not sick anymore, yay!
