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.
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)
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!
After playing on their own for three hours, the girls needed a little down time to rest and recover (watching Curious George, a special treat), before they played for an hour more. The mamas took advantage of this pause to quickly clean the playroom (at our friends Alissa and Jeff’s house). Clearly this is the “after” photo. The before shot would have featured every single toy on the floor.
Fun times!
(It seems like just yesterday that the girls were nine months old and playing together in yoga class.)
We take a break from our postcard series (that I hope you’re enjoying!), to share with you our annual trip down memory lane in which we share photos of our friends and family who came to see us in California this year.
This year friends visited us from Oregon, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. Here are photos from (hopefully) all of their visits! (Please email me if I missed you!)
Thank you all for coming to see us! We enjoyed each and every one of your visits!
