Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}

March 1, 2014

Long Beach

:: Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} ::

Welcome to this lovely, yet rainy edition of Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}!  Sara and I have been waiting for the rain.  Yes I know, we often brag via Instagram about our lovely weather, but California is in dire need of rain or else those pretty pictures are going look barren and dry.  Speaking of pretty pictures, as a family we were able to get out of our usual 5-mile radius and return to our beloved Long Beach.  Mason requested a visit to The Queen Mary as his incentive reward for filling up his star chart. 

Sara and I met in college and lived in Long Beach up until we both got married.  It’s an amazing and beautiful city. It’s full of off the beaten path shops, restaurants, and gorgeous art deco buildings.  Perhaps you aren’t familiar with Long Beach, or maybe you have passed it by {maybe you’ve heard about it through Snoop {now Snoop Lion}… living in the LBC!}, I highly recommend putting it on your radar and paying this gorgeous city a little visit.  Better yet, email Sara and I, and we would be happy to be your tour guides {wink}! We are also toying with the idea of letting you in on some of our favorite places to go, and fun things to do, while visiting California… maybe through our Instagram feed? By the way, have you had a chance to check us out over there?  It’s the perfect way to get a sneak peak of our recipes on the blog and some of our moments with family and friends.  Go and check us out, and share with us some of your favorite IG feeds!

So… this weekend, Sara and I have a fun list of favorites for you to enjoy! If you are a blogger or have an Etsy shop, we’d be thrilled if you’d link-up to our favorite things! Enjoy the weekend, friends… and feel free to say “hello” by leaving a comment below! {xo}

  1. Everyone needs a party dress.  Does this Tutu du Monde feather dress come in our size?
  2. Artifact uprising not only creates beautiful photos books, but they have captured the essence of winter.  Can we be in Silverton, Colorado by noon?
  3. But of course you must enjoy a fun beverage while visiting the ski lodge.  I wouldn’t mind a couple of these Blueberry Moscow Mules while watching the snow fall.
  4. Thinking this rainy weekend is the perfect time to enjoy this Savory Kasha Bowl.  This would be my Saturday bliss!
  5. Sara and I love sharing our favorite recipes.  They may not all be healthy, but life is about enjoying food in moderation.  Let’s not be too hard on ourselves and find a way of Breaking Out of Body Consciousness.
  6. Let them eat cake! A must make from Top With Cinnamon.
  7. When life gives you lemons make healthy water.
  8. I am a cookbook addict….please just one more hubby, I promise this one looks amazing, and it’s full of healthy recipes too!
  9. A couple broken pots means it’s time to do a little DIY for my succulents.  These Mod Podge Stenciled Pots would make the perfect gift.
  10. Indoor S’mores are the perfect Friday night dessert with the kids. Yum!
