San Francisco!!!

I'm packing my bags and heading to my beloved city on the bay. I'm all giddy to see my friends, visit my favorite taco shop, stroll through the farmers markets, picnic in the park and dance to some good music. I'll be seeing you real soon!

oh happy weekend!

If this photograph doesn't capture pure joy, well then I'm not sure what does. This is exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning and realized that I have a whole weekend ahead of me where my husband doesn't have to work and we have plenty of time to frolic.

Other things that have me feeling like this joyous little boy:

This delicious looking salad that I'm making for lunch.

The Sandman by Monsters of Folk. This version of the Sandman will be played to my baby at bedtime. Beautiful.

Garden planning with girlfriends.

Hearing our baby's heartbeat at our appointment today.

Hanging the bird house in the trees.

Lost finale on Sunday! (tear, tear)

This week's tasty rhubarb treat

Yes, I'm still obsessed with rhubarb. My sister sent me this delicious looking tartlette that she made the other day. She found the recipe via Design Sponge. It's the perfect treat for those of you that prefer gluten-free, as almond meal and rice flour are used in lieu of flour. I'm planning on trying it out myself on this beautiful spring day.

The only positive aspect of having my bike stolen is that I get a new bike. I've spent the last few months checking out these new awesome bikes. Can't wait to get my new wheels.

hello monday

We spent the weekend working in the yard. We have loads of color from happy cosmos and zinnias out front now. I also planted the sweetest niobe clematis and hope it climbs up around our porch. All the herbs are planted and we have a little grape tomato plant. Other things that had me smiling throughout the weekend:

Homemade ahi tuna burgers on the grill with avocado.

A mama robin has made a nest outside our window (photos to come).

Pre-natal yoga.

Crazy Heart. Have you seen this film with a fantastic soundtrack?

Everything baby at Serena & Lily.

Sunday dinner with the family. The mister made a tasty maple-glazed pork tenderloin and my sister-in-law made the most scrumptious lemon cake.
