Flourish + Fun

How hilarious are these two!? They steal my heart everyday!! 

We took a field trip with Emmys class this week to the pumpkin patch, it was awesome!! 4 classes of kindergarteners, loads of hay, wind, and good traditional fun!  We rode a tractor/had a hay ride, went in a huge corn maze, learned about farming, played on the horse-like swing, aye lunch in a cute picnic area and had the best time! We came home covered in dirt too, haha! 

Here's what we've been up to.... A super fancy (early) Birthday celebration for Kyle! Our 5 course dinner + wine pairings at Justin Winery in Paso Robles with my man and his parents + Auntie Lynn! It was so fun to be treated like (ahem) royalty with our buddies, Executive Chef and culinary mastermind William Torres and Andrew Webber doing it up for us! I even got homemade (Wills super coveted-secret recipe!) chocolate chip cookie dough to take home with me. And that, btw, was the only low-key part of the dining experience. Everything else was farm-to-table fresh and absolutely delicious!! A huge thanks to Kyle's mom and step-dad for the early treat, and to our sweet Di for babysitting!! This niece of mine, baby Bella! I love visiting and stopping by to see my sister and snuggling this little babe!!  This! Well you can't go to the grocery store without a quick photo shoot.  Visiting daddy at work. Walking back to the car takes forever (as u...
