We’re going to be blogging lightly for the month of August, posting frequent photo postcards with a snippet of text.

How to Build a Fire: And Other Handy Things Your Grandfather Knew
A lovely present from a wonderful blogger. Yes, I won another giveaway. Statistically improbable, yes, but ever so awesome. Especially considering it was a book I was already so excited about!
Thank you, Regina!
Postcard No. 8
Exploring Luther Burbank’s Home and Gardens (where I used to volunteer in those pre-child days!) with Miriam and the toddler. It may be winter in California, but you can still find some flowering surprises here and there. Not just that, but also really big trees with leaves still on them! All sorts of fun things to discover and enjoy.
Postcard No. 7
Hard at work on our “Miss Leyba’s Friends” board book! I adhered the photos (with little hands helping, of course!), then the toddler found the letters and placed the alphabet stickers for each friends name and drew around the photos. A perfect morning project and we now have a special book to treasure always.
Supplies:
+ Blank board book from Bare Books (we love the chunky blank board books)
+ Photo adhesive: Scotch Adhesive Dot Roller
+ Assorted alphabet stickers
+ Photos printed from Photoworks (for phenomenal photo quality)
Postcard No. 6
While the girls were playing, the mamas were hard at work preserving lemons. (I’ll post more on this, in depth, later in the month.) We had such fun!
