The rain has arrived...

Hi everyone!  Wow, it's been almost a week since my last post...time sure flies when you're having fun!  We've spent the past 4 days with our out-of-town family members that came to see us.  My sis-in-law, bro-in-law and their 5 kiddos came to pay us a visit...this house was definitely hopping! My kids were in heaven having so any cousins around...they loved it.  We spent lots of time in San Francisco touring around, had a date night out with just the adults on Monday, enjoyed lots of X-Box gaming and had lots of fun just hanging out around the house.  We were sad to see them go.  Now it's time to clean up the house, catch up on laundry, and prepare for our next set of visitors that are coming this weekend...another of my husband's brothers, his wife and baby are coming to see us now for a few days.  Apparently if you tell everyone you're moving away from the bay area, they'll come to see you before you leave!  =) 

So I don't know how the weather has been where you are, but the rain has finally decided to roll on in here in Nor-Cal.  It's been super dreary here the past two days and there's not much sun in sight until next week.  I haven't snapped an outfit picture for a few days but found a few from last week (when we still had some sun) that I haven't posted yet so I thought I'd share this one with you:

What I Wore:
Tie-Back Tank-Anthropologie
Cardigan-Target
Always Skinny Jeans-Gap
Boots-Urban Outfitters
Costa Collection Necklace-Anthropologie
Enameled Bracelet Set-Anthropologie
Flower Bud Ring-J Crew

This tank has been such a versatile piece in my closet...it mixes and matches so well with tons of different colors.  Love it! 

So we're T-minus 10 days until we leave for our Disneyland vacation...the kids are getting super excited!  It'll be our last big west-coast vacation before we move.  I need to start thinking about what I plan on packing...I'm trying to wait a few more days to see what the weather forecast looks like first.  I received an email from a blog reader the other day with a great question about what to wear when you're at an amusement park...how timely!  I plan to do a post next week about what I plan to take with me to wear to Disney so stay tuned for that.  If anyone has any great Disney tips for me I'd love to hear them!  I've been to Disneyland quite a few times but there's always something new to be found it seems!

One more thing before I go...totally random, but I just had to share.  Have you seen this?


I picked this up last week when I was at the Commissary for just $6.99.  Bargain!  I LOVE it!  It's so handy and helpful in the kitchen to have an automatic soap dispenser.  Totally recommend this fun little toy!  

Hope you have a great day!

  1. So far so good, but I am sure we'll get it soon too- we are in DC burbs. The floral tank you are wearing is lovely, I am finding I like a lot at Anthro this season.

    1. Thanks! You know, I have definitely found a ton of things I love at Anthro this year so far even if there have been a lot of things I didn't love. I always seem to have a LONG wish list! =)

  2. I have the same tank in a diff color. We just did DL in December and you should def "plan" beforehand. There are apps you should download and can even plan the rides for you. Makes life much easier with small children!

    1. I have you to thank for this cute cardi...or to blame. However way you want to look at it! =) It is a great color to have, so thanks. =) Oh, how great to be having such a warm winter...I hear it's been unseasonably warm back east this year. It'll be extra cold for us when we get back there next winter...just wait and see! haha I can't complain out here this year either though...it really has been pretty nice this winter so far. We need the rain so I'll grin and bear it.
