thanksgiving hike: iron mountain peak trail
i had read about this hike in san diego magazine. i thought it was a great and different plan for thanksgiving day. it was busier than i expected but i guess others were thinking about working off their dinner too! and it was definitely a workout; so steep. but the... Continue reading

Cheers to too many cookies ;)
I'm working on a christmas layout featuring two mosaics made on Big Huge Labs. There were just too many great pix from yesterday at Ocean Beach Dog Beach to choose just a few :)

yum! This year I'm making sweet and spicey pecans :)going to send them to Dave overseas. I'd like to try to make the pecan cookies you posted!
baking day @ the blaha's.
I raced up north yesterday to help my mom start the holiday baking. We made fudge, peanut butter cookies, chex mix and pecan cookies. Tonight we are going to make chocolate covered pretzels, sugar cookies and our family favorite that I've shared many times before, peppermint c...
OMG what a brilliant recipe! I bet that blows Starbucks' pumpkin bread straight outta the water! Thanks for sharing!
40 loaves / nutella pumpkin bread.
Bread no. 24 : nutella pumpkin bread Adjustments : I halved the recipe & cooked in a 9x5 bread pan. I also reduced the sugar by about a third, substitued about half the white flour for whole wheat and added a bit more pumpkin. Notes : super easy. I ended up baking mine for about an hour t...

Happy last week of September! To celebrate, I am hosting a little print & poster sale. Buy any two 5x7 digital prints and I'll send you one free. Buy two 11x14 digital posters and get a third poster free. Just let me know in the notes to seller which print or poster (and which color) y...
that's so cool! I've been obsessed with Larabars for the past year ever since my naturopath discovered I was gluten intolerant. My faves are the pecan pie and chocolate chip :)
so what do I eat?
A few weeks ago I shared some of the diet changes I have made this summer and got a few requests for actual recipes. I have to say, at the moment, I am pretty uninspired in the kitchen. I am a creature of habit (as in I would eat the exact same dinner every night) and so with Paul gone, I have b...
And we here in blogland will do our best to support you! You can do this!
do your best.
For as long as I can remember do your best has been my family's motto. My mom's favorite chorus especially. Test at school? Do your best. Presentation? Do your best. College applications? Do your best. Pulling out of the garage to drive to a friend house? Do your best. It became so routine that ...
I love you too san diego! Too cool of a video. Definitely gotta try that app for my trip back to san dog via the 101 !!
we made a video.
e & p @ waterfront from elise blaha on Vimeo. I was enamored with these cute videos from Ruby of Cakies and decided to do something similar when Paul and I went to The Waterfront for the last time this year. (Obviously we'll be back the next time we're together in San Diego.) The entire video w...

traveling with the summer minibook.
As mentioned a million and three times (excited much?) I'm leaving town for the next two weeks. And the summer minibook is coming with me. I won't have access to a printer or sewing machine on this trip so there will not be any photos, typed text or sewn details added on the road. Instead, I'l...
I can't wait to check it out! I'll be living close to the Chula Vista Market in Eastlake! only 5 more weeks until I move back:)

pistachio is my favorite too!
another favorite.
There is a little place just down the street from us (and another one in the neighborhood next to us) that sells authentic Italian gelato. I don't remember if we actually looked it up or just stumbled into it last summer. But either way : we love it & make a point to go after dinner every coup...

I love those pillows! Did you free-hand them? You should definitely have an etsy shop if you don't already.
And I hear ya on the J. Crew suits. I don't have one of theirs yet, plus I don't have alot of opportunities to wear one for work either.
Happy spring!

material things: feminine suits
one of my favorite suits almost fits again! the pants are still a bit tight, but it felt so good to put it on again. i paired it with a sparkly tank that i'd bought for new year '11. i remember being a teenager and flipping through J. Crew catalogs... Continue reading

Thinkie's comment is too funny! :) Gray and white horizontal stripes?! I just saw a wall just like that on an HGTV show! Loved it. It really made the space look larger. Can't wait for the final pix!

LOVE the non-tradition and personalized wedding ideas you incorporated. and your frame of mind about marriage not being about luck. well said!
Happy first year you guys!
looking back at the wedding.
Tomorrow we will have been married for a year. I have some thoughts to share about the first year of marriage. (And I am going to ask Paul to write down his too.) But right now I wanted to answer a fun question I got when I asked for blog topic ideas. Would love to a hear a 'looking back at th...
