Weekend getaway  to Lake Arrowhead with the DeLang family.
Thunder storms at night, smell of rain in the forest, boat rides on the lake, 
watching movies in bed, good food, sleeping in a cozy loft, family bonding time...


I love little family trips.

a quote.

via tumblr
"When a woman has a kingdom heart, she has an active understanding of what matters most to the heart of God.  She lives in the balance of passion and contentment.  She learns to love well, give without regard to self, and forgive without hesitation.  The woman with a kingdom heart may have a duffel bag full of possessions or enough treasures to fill a mansion, but she has learned to hold them with an open hand.  Hold everything with open hands.  I don't think we are ever allowed to grab hold of anything or anyone as though they matter more than the kingdom of heaven.  When you hold relationships with open hands, then people come in and out of your life as gifts of grace to be cherished and enjoyed, not objects to be owned and manipulated.  And then when you hold your dreams with open hands, you get to watch God resurrect what seemed dead and multiply what seemed small."

mother & daughter outing.


i'm really enjoying our local town's farmers market in moorpark. the friendly, health vibe definitely took me back to the markets up in northern california. but it was even better because i was able to go with my mom! 

i love mother daughter evenings tasting and picking fresh fruit while browsing ideas for lovely handmade jewelry for my grandma to make. i'm thinking this needs to happen more often.

afternoon working at the farm.









I am enjoying the outdoor fall working atmosphere. It's different from my normal day to day job which is mainly spent indoors, despite some outdoor playtime for the kids.


Well happy Friday folks! Enjoy your weekends and remember to count your blessings.

busy bee.

I have some good news to share that I realized I never actually shared on the blog because I've been so, so busy. I got the job {I dreamed about since having to leave my last job that I loved too} as a teacher at Tutor Time! When I say that everyone always asks me if I'm a tutor. Thing is, despite the confusing Tutor Time title, it's actually a child care/ day care center for infants- 12 year olds. Best part is, I get to work with all ages!  I've been working for about a month now and I love it. 

Working 8-10 hours monday through friday is keeping me quite busy but that's not all. I decided it would be fun back in September to work at the Underwood Fall Harvest Festival *in the town I grew up in, Moorpark. What better  way to spend my weekends making a little extra cash on the side while being surrounded by the BEST fall atmosphere. Basically on top of my full-time job, I work at the festival on the weekends (sat AND sun) 8 hours a day all of October! Sheesh, just saying that makes me tired. Last weekend was my first time working and it is quite fun! 


*Get excited for lots and lots of fall harvest photos from the festival I'll be working at :)
