mondo love.

Who's watching Project Runway this season?
I have a major fashion-crush on Mondo.

He makes me want to wear black tights with fluffy dresses every day.
{Tights are going to be my new fall staple. :) }


For real, I love him.
I want to keep him in my pocket. :)
And his outfits? Hilarious. Mondo love, people.

And I am oh-so-excited for tonight!
We are headed to the San Diego Junior Theatre's performance of
Pinkalicious!
My talented sister is the costume designer for the show, and she did an amazing job. I'm talking... dancing pink cupcakes, pink crayons, pink princess skirts, pink tuxedo jackets, tap dancing doctors and nurses, and a complete musical version of the adorable story... the works. I can't wait!! The shows sold out completely and they are doing another encore performance as well!!
{I am totally tooting my sister's horn here... toot toot!!! :) }

What are you up to this weekend?
Happy Friday to you all!
xo!

an elephant stepped on andrew!

For real!!


Ok, ok, I'm only teasing.
The up side of going to the zoo in the evening is that there are way less people.
And way more time for taking goofy staged photos at the Elephant Odyssey. :)


There is nothing dramatic about my child at all, right? :)

We have season passes to the zoo,
so we can go for a few hours,
pack our dinner,
and not feel like we have to stay
all day long
like the San Diego tourists.

And because it's been so warm lately,
a nighttime trip to the zoo was
exactly what was in order for Andrew and I. :)


Happy summer-ish evenings in a sky-ride gondola
make me happy with this little face at my side. :)


Enjoy these last few days of summer. :)
Fall is rapidly approaching, &
the holidays are going to be here before we know it.

Squeeze out every drop of sunshine and warmth that you can.
Run through the sprinklers one last time.
Pour an icy glass of lemonade.
Finish up any lingering summer "to-do's."
I know we will be in the next few weeks.
xo! :)

where am i today?

I'm guest blogging over here today

You won't want to miss it!

And I'm also spending the morning at the beautiful Balboa Park,

since it is Andrew's last day of summer camp!

I'll be wandering around this gorgeous place...

So tough, right? :)

But...

How can summer already be closing in on us??

August 3rd is his first day of school

{gotta love year round school!}

so we've got 11 more good days of summer.

I'm off to enjoy it.

Happy weekend, friends!
