Walk With Me to Sunshine Gardens...

There is an awesome family owned garden center in Encinitas that I have grown up with, I stopped by today to start thinking about what plants I want to replant in my pots on our window garden. I love this place, they used to be in a different location and they are still making this new location their own. They don't just lay out the plants they set each area up like a mini yard. I love going here.

One Saturday Morning...

Good morning! Do you remember the run of cartoons on ABC on Saturday mornings when you were a kid? They were my favorite! This morning I went for a short run and walked on down to the beach thinking I would wander around the tide pools for a while, only to find the tide was all the way up to the stairs, so I ran a few sets of stairs and watched the surfers for a little bit. I love mornings.

Thank goodness gracious it's Friday!

Last night I made this Fall wreath from the Tricks + Treats Fabric Wreath DIY on A Beautiful Mess, I wasn't expecting it to turn out, but it did, and it used up a bunch of old fabric! It looks so festive on our little white door. I want to make one for Christmas.

This is her cute wreath:

Take a Walk With Me To The Meditation Gardens...

I am ashamed to say I have lived in Encinitas my entire life and have never been to the Meditation Gardens at Swami's until last Friday. My best friend Ingrid took me and I have to say I will definitely be back, it is so pretty, you feel like you have just escaped to this wonderful far off land, when actually you are just steps away from civilization. We went to St. Germain's for breakfast (which I had also not been to) and it was delicious!

The Koi fish are definitely my favorite part, I could watch them swim forever, look at this huge orange one above, he was super slow and just swam into the other fish to make them move!

The pretty, pretty ocean.

Happy Day!

Movember

In 2010 tragically more than 32,000 men will die as a direct result of prostate cancer. 

The 'Mo," slang for mustache, and the November come together each year for Movember.

Each Movember men are challenged to change their appearance and face of men's health by growing a mustache. The mustache used to raise awareness and funds for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the commitment of Movember is to grow a mustache for 30 days. Funds raised benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG.

What an awesome cause and awesome way to raise awareness about prostate cancer.

Register at us.movember.com as a MoBrother or MoSista.

We are all just trying to get through this crazy thing we call life, 

it's easier if we do it together...

Happy Day!
