I stopped into Sephora and picked it up! BITE Beauty....color "Pepper" creamy and perfect for fall/winter and bonus their lipstick is all organic and loaded with antioxidents. Yum :) Cost: $24.00

Making Friends

Daves in Kentucky....making friends apparently.
He comes home Wednesday and we cant wait.

This Sunday Hunter, Vanessa and I went to the Venice beach. We played volleyball with a group of people. The girls held their own in a game with a bunch of grow ups. I was so proud of them! It was such a good workout and so much fun. Why dont i do this more often? I even went for a quick dip. So cold that i took my breath away...its really feeling like summer and I loved every second of it.

Just because....

Enjoy.....

Memorial Day

I hope everyone had a beautiful holiday weekend. We did! The weather was amazing. We even made it to the beach yesterday....reminding myself..Why don't I go more often!

The most meaningful part of the weekend was the Flag Placement we did at the Veterans Cemetery. A few girls from Hunters girls scout troop got together to help. By the end of the 2nd hour a flag had been placed on EVERY headstone. The place was filled with soldiers, girls scouts, boy scouts, sea scouts, ROTC, American heritage girls. Its quite surreal looking across acres of land and realizing that all these people gave their lives to their country.

Look at all the people in the background.

"I'm proud to be an American, were at least I know I'm free,
and I wont forgot the men who died and gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today.
Cause their ain't no doubt I love this land.
God Bless the USA"

Lucky me...

My handsome and extra cool husband at work. Aren't I lucky :)

New Arrival - The Orchid

Reasons why I love spring..... Please say hello to my little friend. This orchid was left for dead. Only the bit of green left on a long dry steam. We waited it out through winter and early spring.....now this..... beautiful :0)

The Mission

I've waited my entire school life for this project. When I was in 4th grade all the other classes made their missions, for some reason...ours did not. Finally, 20 years later(yikes) its Hunters turn. In typical Hayflich fashion, a day before its due, we sit down to make this mission. I refuse to spend money on a kit and with the help of friends gathered old school boxes, construction paper, clay and Styrofoam and let loose my creative juices. At 11 pm last night, as I sprinkled my last bits of silver glitter into the historic fountain of the Santa Barbara mission, I did a happy dance. This thing looks like the real deal! A+ for sure.

So this morning we walk this four foot wide mission into school. In passing Hunters school mates comment on how cool it looks and Hunter and I proudly respond THANK YOU with a giggle.

My jaw dropped when I walked into class and saw the other missions. I wanted to ask the parents what architect they hired to build their child's mission! Miniature people, glass windows, wooden crosses, cemeteries with miniature coffins. What in hell!

Oh well, Im proud anyway. At least my mission looks like a 4th grader made it and not a USC graduate with a masters in engineering!
