Sundays are Made for a Lazy Brunch

It’s already mid-Autumn yet the weather remains stunning here in Southern California.  So what’s the most perfect thing to do after attending mass… a lazy outdoor brunch, which also happens to be one of my favorite weekend activities.

On the table...

- Insalata di Calamari

- Insalata Mediterranea 

- Milano Pizza

- And, a pitcher of Bloody Mary prepared tableside

Oh Monday, please don't appear too quickly!

First July 4th, First Halloween and First Christmas :-)

Pumpkin Patch and Harvest Festival

Ah, Pumpkin Patch, a quintessential Fall activity that brings family outdoors for some seasonal fun.

I love this time of year. Fall is one of my favorite seasons -- the cool crisp weather, the colorful foliage and pumpkin patch.  

Here are some snapshots from our Little Bundle of Joy’s first Pumpkin Patch trip.

Monthly Photo Op with Mickey

To capture our Little Bundle of Joy’s growth monthly, I place him next to a Mickey Mouse stuffed toy on his birthday.  Say cheese...
