Nordstrom

My favorite time of the year is here!! 

Are you going??? I love love love Nordstrom! Did you know that I was there the day it opened in Walnut Creek in 1984. Crazy!! My Grandma and my mother were obsessed! It was the only credit card my grandmother refused to let my grandfather see! Gee and I wonder where I get my fashion obsession from?? 
Can't wait to see what I can buy this weekend to add to my wardrobe!! 

Might have to pick this little gem up! 

Art work

Have you ever noticed the artwork that is strategically placed at outdoor malls? Or fountains?? Seeing as my job requires me to be at the mall. (I know so hard right) I tend to observe people,outdoor seating,and art deco work that most if you miss. Yesterday I was at Santana Row had a little lunch at plutos and worked hard! So here are a few gems that made the cut!

Monday Blues

I don't know about you but I had possibly the best weekend ever...

Saturday I had an amazing facial by Tammie. If you are ever looking for a microdermabrasion tammie is your girl and she is reasonably priced!

Afterwards, the boyfriend and I checked out that new movie, Dictator.
It was funny but I think it's more of a mans movie😃

Following our movie I took grant to what I think is the best Italian food ever in Danville. It's called Mangia mi. Even though it was crowded worth every bit of the wait!

Sunday came and we lounged at the pool. I think it was appropriate since I don't know it was 90 degrees!!

So, tell me what did you do to spice up the weekend??

My week....

Sorry I have been M.I.A. been fighting this nasty cold/allergies all week. Is anyone else been hating whatever is in this gorgeous air???

Luckily I have an amazing boyfriend who makes me tea when I am not feeling so hot. Love him!

Little Family

I once had a small tiny little family. There were only 13 of us. Some of you may say well that is not small at all. 
So here is the story. My mom has 2 sisters, Debra and Lynn who both have two kids each. Debra has two boys named Kent and Kyle. Lynn has two girls Alexandra and Natasha. The babies of the family. My mom had me and my sister Jackie. Rounding out the family is my Grandpa and his wife Michele. 


You following? It gets complicated here now!


When my grandfather married his beautiful wife Michele she had 3 kids named Gable, Cash, and Jaffe that she brought with her.
Gable got married to his wife Marika who have 2 kids. Following soon after was his sister Jaffe getting married to her love last August.




5 years ago we lost my mom to cancer. It was truly hard on all of us. No one took it harder than my dad. It was one of the reasons I opted to go to grad school in SF then moving to L.A. with one of my good friends from college. It wasn't until 2 years he found someone that made him feel complete and whole again. Not soon after he and his lady decided to get married on Dec. 30 2011. Her name is Nora and she is amazing. She brings along her son, Taylor who is quite a character. Nora herself comes from a big family with 4 sisters and 5 nieces and nephews. 


My Aunt Debra remarried to a wonderful man named Jeff who has 2 girls that are both married. With one grandson.


It wasn't until last weekend when my Grandfather had his 8ish birthday! hahah That I realized this diverse family I now have. We round out at 25 people! Crazy! 
No matter the case I wouldn't change this huge boisterous family for anything in the world! Love them all!! Here are some pictures of all of us!
