Squirrels & Coconuts
Spent some more time on Polyvore to get inspired for Elliott’s {Outdoorsy/Nature Girl} party in May…
Lots of clear glass containers filled with all sorts of goodness from gummy caterpillars to froggy yo-yos to Arnold Palmers.
Loving the turquoise & orange combo.
The {wedding} sign will obviously read something more like {Party this way!} or {A Woodsy Welcome!}. I just loved the organic, handmade feel of it.
Spray painted pine cones. Pin The Fairy on The Flower. Live owls.
Getting excited with a couple other goodies up my sleeve that I will share soon!

Do you munch on Luna bars? I love them for mornings when it’s a little too hectic to prepare steel cut oats or pull the blender out for a smoothie. My faves are Lemon Zest and Chocolate Peppermint Stick, BUT…..there is a new kid on the block and she is swiftly taking the lead…
In case you haven’t noticed, I am coocoo for coconut!
If you also adore this fruit and in need of an occasional quick breakfast or snack, you must pick a couple of these up.

Happy soon-to-be Friday….we’re almost there!
Take A Hike!
This morning we checked out Placerita Canyon State Park.
We figure we’d better get out and do this stuff before the temps get over 100*…which will be soon enough!
There is a trail to a waterfall, but it was 5 miles round trip! The tikes aren’t quite ready for that just yet, so we hiked to the water tower instead!
Enjoying the view:

My absolute fave pic of the day:
Playing in the creek:
We learned all about owls and this little falcon:
Try explaining “taxidermy” to an almost 5 year old, too! That’s fun….
“Is it dead?”
“Uh, yes it is, Sweetie.”
“Well, why is it’s eyes open?”
“Uh, well…..”
I told her she would learn more about it in school when she gets older! Is that bad???
Seriously, how do you explain that?
Nature sure is tiring:
Hope your weekend has been full of exploring and one adventure after another!
