This past Wednesday night I headed to the local Santa Barbara Female Entrepreneurs meetup. Some months I'm available to attend and some months I'm out of town, but when I'm in town I always make sure to go...we talk, we laugh, we eat and we drink. So fun! I actually blogged about SBFE when I first started my blog and you can visit that post HERE. This month, our gathering was held at Kristin's new space for her business: The Grapeseed Company. Being a wine fan, I love the backbone of her business: Kristin creates eco-friendly, vinotherapy skin and personal care products from natural ingredients such as grapeseeds that have been discarded by local wine growers! Talk about eco-friendly :) Her store has the most amazing scents and I can't wait to attend her grand opening this Saturday!!
Kristin's awesome storefront!
Doggie products!
Kristin also has a self scent bar where you can create your own scents and she has a baby line!
If you're in town, be sure to stop by on Saturday for the grand opening! Happy Friday :)

Hi everyone! I am in NC right now vacay-ing with my side of the family for the next week :) It's been a little over two years since I've been able to join my family for our annual trek to the Carolina coastline and I'm so excited :)
I love our family vacations...they mainly consist of laying on the beach until burnt or tan, whichever, eating, consuming the occasional chilled drink, eating, laughing at what the kids say, sleeping, eating, playing cornhole, oh, and did I mention eating? Rinse and repeat! I just love my nephews and nieces, they make vacation that much better and keep us laughing and entertained and on our feet the entire time :)
Email is the best way to reach me!
Ahh, relaxation!

101 in 1001 lists are pretty popular...I know I've mentioned my obsession with goal and list making, so of course I have a 101 things to do in 1001 days list! There is something that has been on my list for a very long time...in fact, it's been on there so long that I recently made a new 101 in 1001 list because, well, time slipped away, I suppose. Sheesh.
I have always wanted to get my pilot's license. I don't really have a great reason why, but I just want to and I am very fascinated by planes. So about a month ago, Mike called me excitedly after he left work and asked me to meet him at the airport...
And we got to go flying!
So you're thinking, big deal, I just flew from Cinci to NYC last week. OK, this is waayyy more fun than flying commercially. I was having a hard time justifying to Mike that we should fly first class everywhere...but now I'm starting to have a really hard time convincing him that we should just buy our own plane ;)
This plane actually made a debut on my blog last year (oh, and there's also a super cute couple in the post as well :) )...click HERE to revisit the post!
Um, gorgeous!
I'm sold...I just have to get my pilot's license now!!
It's really awesome to be able to fly over where you live...since Mike and I haven't lived here that long it was nice to see how everything is laid out from the air. These are the "bluffs" that we take Bear to everyday...
Flying over our neighborhood!
You see, flying and me will get along just fine...there are all kinds of checklists...
Yeah, I was pretty excited!
Check back next week...I have a few fun anniversary sessions to blog :) Happy weekend!

Recently Mike and I went to a cookout at a farm in Santa Ynez (which is very pretty and is also wine country :) ) and as I'm editing through some different sessions today I found these images on my computer that I downloaded but never went through.
I love farms and I love cows, oh, and I love food...so this was a super fun day...
Pretending to be farm folk...
The ringleader...
Happy Monday!
