Once again September was quite the busy month. Sophie Turned 1 year old-Hooray Sophie!- Matt and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary-I love you babe-And we spent a week in southern California. Sophie got to play at the beach for the firs time and she really loved it, the sand, the water, everything.....

A Visit To the Getty Museum

I think we enjoyed the gardens and architecture more than the art inside











A Day At the Beach

Sophie loved the water.....

And the sand. I was pleasantly surprised she didn't try to eat it.

So.....

I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time. We have kept pretty busy this summer and it seems the second I stopped to take a breath....pow! it's already fall! What is a girl to do?

I feel like I have kept extra busy in my new kitchen experimenting with all sorts of new recipes. I have been officially able to cook in my kitchen now for over three months and I am yet to repeat a main dish recipe. So...... I was thinking I might start a food blog and go a whole year, cooking something different each night. I know food blogs are a dime a dozen so I'm asking for feedback from you folks before I jump into anything putting forth needless effort. So what do ya think?.....
