Has it been that long since my last blog post? Oh dear... I do need to work on this. I do promise to try REALLY hard!! They say it takes 21 days to make a habit... so for the next 21 days... or we'll start with once a week:)

I've spent the last 3 weeks in beautiful california... Irvine to be exact. Did you know Irvine was rated the safest city in California to raise a family?? Actually, I don't know if that's true, but I heard it once and I'm sticking with it! It is gorgeous here. 10 minutes from Laguna Beach, a 5 minute walk from ferris wheels and carousels (at a mall!!!) and 15 sweet minutes away from the mecca of everything... I'm talking about Disneyland of course:) It just never gets old. Well maybe the lineups... though I even have a few hilarious lineup stories. All about the journey I suppose:)

I'm happy to see fall visit the south too. I went for my morning walk to the coffee bean & tea leaf and noticed that even the bougainvillea had turned from hot pink to orange. It's so neat that the seasons hit everywhere. Just love it!

Poppies has been busy on the blogs too! In case you missed it please check out some guest appearances on some of our absolutely FAVORITE blogs... Oh Joy!, creature comforts, 100 layer cake, oh hello friend, oh so beautiful paper and poppytalk. Also, I can't help but mention a foreign shout from lilica tigor (I can't understand a word, but A-DORABLE!).

Until my blog *next* week... cali love! B x

Just chillin' with ac slater... that's all. Sorry guys, I couldn't resist:)
