The Americana

Today Matt and I took the girls to the Americana in Glendale for a free kids music concert. It was really fun. They loved it. Ivy is turning into a great photographer. We love daddy for doing girl stuff with us!They had face painting there for the kids. I didn't let Lucy do it or her naptime would have been a disaster. She didn't even seem to notice.


Mom, Stop taking pictures while I'm trying to listen to the concert!
Melissa Green is great!
The Americana is beautiful, even on an overcast day.

My new favorite....

I picked up this little cutie while shopping in an antique shop in Carpenteria with Lucy. We were at the beach and I took Lucy for a walk to give her something to do and I happened upon this initial necklace. I have been looking for a necklace to have with my girls initials and I loved this when I saw it. I didn't take pictures of the other side but the L has green glass behind it and the I has red glass. It is so pretty and well made. I am loving it as a casual necklace to wear.

One of my new favorites

There is a blog I like to stalk...I mean read. I have met this girl once before I think but she would never remember me. I get so excited when she has a new blog post. (Come on, I know you have a fellow blogger that you do this to.....) Well, my friend Carly (who doesn't know she is my blog friend) had this on her website. It is a necklace that is a soft baby teething ring. it is from a company called Smart Mom. She has the information on her blog (at the very bottom of her post.)I got mine on Amazon.com and I love it. I get so many compliments on my necklace. If you have a little one, this is a must have! Thanks to my good friend Carly!
