pancakes and a buck

Our normal breakfast consists of oatmeal for the adults and O's and milk for the kids with fruit mixed in both for good measure (though usually not in mine). I wanted to change things up a bit and decided that making some pancakes would be a very good thing. The girls were ecstatic once they learned what I was making and we were all so excited to attack the little stack of circles. Our tummies were quite content and all the pancakes were devoured quickly.

I mentioned that I got myself a couple vintage goodies for a buck (thanks to my brother's girlfriend faye for telling us a little vintage yard sale that occurs every sunday in L.A.) and this vintage wrap skirt was one of the things I picked up in the piles. I grabbed it, looked at it, hesitated, then tried it on and decided I liked the quirky parrots! Plus, not too much to lose for a buck right?!!

I had to smile for picture. Still can't do the serious thing yet (this is a work in progress). And yes, I had to grab another little babe to join me in it too.

shirt: target
skirt: jet rag
shoes: none cause we don't wear them inside the house
little girl: my womb
hello kitty tin purse: belongs to the little girl (gift from grandparents)

Autumn weather has yet to hit southern California (is there such a thing as fall weather here)? It isn't too hot though, so I am thankful! I am really hoping for our little road trip cause I want to see what real fall is like. I have so many autumnal things I want to do in our little home, but time is going fast and I am not sure if we will have time to do them. It seems there is always a long list of other "to-dos" we want (or have) to do. Though for sure, we must do our annual Fall-elebration dinner to celebrate the new season.

What types of things do you do to celebrate the fall season?

  4. Totally adorable outfit - the skirt is perfect on you! And we get in breakfast ruts, too. Pancakes and eggs are usually weekend fare, but I know my girls would be thrilled if I whipped up a batch on a weekday.

    I've been totally inspired by your weekly videos and decided to try one out, too! It's on our family blog. They are kind of addicting :) Thanks for all the creativity and inspiration here!

  8. I know cali doesn't have a "real" fall. But when the santa anna's hit and it gets super windy It makes me ready for christmas. Then the rain comes all winter. Since we had such a cool summer here I am not sure I am ready for fall.
    ( probably 'cause the santa anna's haven't come :)

  9. I totally want pancakes now (it's 9 pm ;)). I have already begun some fall-inspired baking and purchased just a few fall-ish details for the house. It's still 90+ degrees here in FL but I can't help myself!
