My Everyday Life: Week 17

Here’s what this past week looked like.

I’m in love with my new shirt.

How could I forget all the Slice & Bake Oatmeal Raisin cookies I have in the freezer? Instant cookie party.

A yummy breakfast with Lillian at 900 Grayson.

902 Grayson.

Reminded me of Miami Vice for 2 seconds.

Texture.

Growth.

The most amazing grocery store EVER. I almost fainted.

Setting up for a podcast… that we didn’t record.

Sometimes I try to hold him like a baby and most of the time he protests. But I figured out that if I do it while he’s watching TV he totally doesn’t notice. HAHA.

Trying on clothes at Anthropologie and not buying anything.

Bed unmade.

I put the Goat Cheese Guacamole on my morning toast. It’s SO GOOD.

I’m TOAST HEAD.

Outdoor dining.

Breakfast at my house with my parents. We had a sleepover.

The patio at night. We found this basketball net on the side of the road this week. SCORE.

Post work Negroni.

Blogging on the floor.

Jewelry ORGANIZED!

Impromptu Tacos outside.

All three of us painting. I couldn’t be happier.

I saw this at the bus stop and got sad.

Broccoli Slaw. So good. SOOOOO GOOD.

Morning light at work.

Not wearing an ounce of black.

I love looking at the shadows of us three.

Pretzel sharing.

We found the most amazing Lego store!

Bouncy Birthday Party.

Playing baseball outside.

Looking for bulbs.

Love your black strappy sandals (photo #5)! Where’d you get them from?

So… did you select those red shoes to match your negroni, or is that just a happy (and very nicely balanced) color coincidence. Lovely shot!

I love your blog! Where is this Lego store located? My husband is a 41 yr. old kid who still loves toys and Legos. We’re from LA but visit San Francisco a few times a year to visit his grandma. I know he would love to visit this Lego store. Btw, your toast/bread always looks so delicious. San Francisco has THE best bread.

oh my gosh. I had such an anthro fail recently, too. some super-cute summer dresses that just looked terrible on me. plus, why is everything adorable so expensive? on another note, I can’t wait to have kids so I can do watercolors with them on the deck. 🙂

I took the photo of the Slice & Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies as a sign to bring my frozen log out to be baked. It’s cookie time.

Also, I cannot stop staring at your unmade bed. I think I’m in love with your bed cover.

It was lovely to meet you at potluck, thanks for this post. It reminds me to be more aware of my everyday life, look around and feel something. I have an 8 year old son, where is the lego store?

Was it your first trip to BBW? Such a great store! So happy to be living just a short bike ride away. Haven’t been to Grayson in a while, your photo is making me put it on the to do list Also love the black sandals.

  It was! And it definitely won’t be the last. It would be so dangerous if I lived close to it.

Bouncy birthday parties are the best kinds. Not that I’ve been to one but I imagine it would be like the dream of the 8 year old in me. And that blue white dress. Loving the motives!

Tracy, I feel like you must have been asked this before, but where are your black platform sandals from?? I love ’em!

I hate trying on what seems like a million things and deciding that they’re all a bust. It feels like the biggest waste of time!

I LOVE when my parents come to our place and we have a sleepover! So much fun!

  This is actually my FIRST sleepover with my parents. Isn’t that crazy? I really enjoyed it.

What a great snapshot of your week. I’m feeling pretty inspired to start taking my own weekly shots, but I’m missing my iphone. I cannot get my new Galaxy s3 to take the same quality pix!
I realllly missed the podcast this week. I kept refreshing on friday morning and I’ve visited homefries twice a day since 🙁 Can’t wait ’til the next one!!

I am loving that shirt. I’ve been trying to find one like it everywhere. (Which is actually no where except Target because I have had zero time to shop lately. But in my head, I’ve been looking.)

  Haha! I got it at the Jcrew outlet store!

I avoid at all costs leaving a comment, in facebook, on blogs, anywhere really, I take years it feels to reply to emails, and when someone asks me a serious question I take anywhere from 3-6 days to reply.
BUT ! I have been checking your blog out for about a year now. I don’t really relate to much of the things you make but have used your site as a reference for dinner parties and pot lucks. I’m so picky, berg.
AND ! Today I went to work, which is teaching children all about just being children and their project was to cook. My 60 something year old co-worker teaches the cooking currently and was so proud of herself finding a recipe better than the last making donuts. IT WAS YOURS. I just though I would let you know how you bridged the gap today between her and I in a lovely gentle way and that the kids ate the donuts before I could say “cheers”

Thanks for doing such a great job at what you do.

Lastly, I mainly come to your site Sunday or Monday to see your “Everyday life” Your photos are beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.

Amanda

  Thank you for taking the time & writing me Amanda!!! I am so glad you’re here. It blows my mind that you were able to have a moment with someone else through me. That is AWESOME and probably the reason why I keep at this blog. So THANK YOU!!!
