an equatorial friday

a little beauty from my valentine <3

Today is Friday and so needs no further introduction.  We all know what Fridays means...FUN.  So, Keira and I set out to make something very yummy for breakfast.  I'm sure you can guess...but if you need a bit of help, here are some clues: A little sweet, round and fluffy, with chocolate chips.  Mmm. Mmmm.  Now, I realize no one makes these better than the infamous {Howie B}, but we can still try :)

While enjoying our Fun Friday breakfast, we had Alex's Equatorial album playing and boy, was Keira ever bee-boppin in her seat.  I think we have a dancer on our hands.    {check out alex and his music here}  It's a super-fun CD and since I don't quite have the words to describe it, I'm not going to try.

My mission today is to find the perfect place to visit in California.  All this talk floating around the universe lately of travel and warm weather is driving me BONKERS.  So...Howie & Keira & I are taking a trip.  We're just not sure of the details yet :)  It's also a good day to do something new and exciting as an Introduction to the weekend so Keira and I will be doing that and seeing what kind of trouble we can get into.  Happy Weekend :)

  1. I've been to Yosemite, Monterey Bay, Muir Woods and San Francisco... all fun! (Though San Fran is pretty weird and maybe not as fun for a kid.) Hope you have a blast planning your trip! CA is beautiful.

  6. Sounds like the PERFECT way to spend a friday. I have been dreaming of chocolate chip waffles for a while now... You should go camping in Julia Pfeiffer Park. The hubs and I went camping their last summer and it was so beautiful- we were on a cliff overlooking the ocean!

  8. kerri, it was sooo nice :)

    keia, thanks for the tip on Julia Pfeiffer Park. I'm definitely looking into it! We do love camping and we're all water babies too, so that sounds perfect

    brooke, i know...it's one of my favorites of him. that boy is nuts. no matter that i offered help, he insisted on lugging that canoe up and down the hill to and from the lake purely for the workout! on that same trip, he strapped on his backpack loaded with everything but the kitchen sing and went joggin for miles through the woods. lol. he's motivated but it was pretty funny looking too :)

  9. Love that iris in the first photo, they are such beautiful flowers! What a gorgeously unique present to be given on valentine's day :) Hope you had fun making pancakes (at least I think that's what you were making!).

  10. Yes, Eadaoin, we did make pancakes :) i love iris's as well. i planted some in my garden a couple years ago and they continue to get stronger and sturdier every year. i only wish they bloomed longer since they're so lovely!
