moving requires treats

true or false, we are 

moving yet AGAIN.....

crazy to say this is true!

// let me explain //

we've been in a tiny studio

apartment this year in the 

basement of an old charming

building in san francisco.

we've always wanted to live in

a studio and be able to say that

we fit our life into a little box,

but after commuting each day

it was a little hard to come home

to a place where we couldn't spread

out and didn't feel as comfortable.

it also didn't help that our neighbors

smoked, it always had a smoke smell,

and we just weren't loving it but we

were making it work. we also were 

living on the border of a slightly 

more dangerous area, and it was 

starting to wear on me...the car

 break-in, the feeling of needing to be

with chase if i wanted to go running,

etc. we knew we needed a change,

and the right thing came along! one of

our closest family friends knew a

darling couple moving out here

 in need of a place in the city.

chase started helping them look, & 

stumbled upon a beautiful, redone,

2-bedroom apartment in nob hill.

he sent me up there to check it

out, i fell in love with the space

and the light and the hardwood

floors, and we had the idea with 

them to move in together and

split rent! it might sound crazy

but lots of people do it out here

in SF where rent prices are about

3,000 and up per month, which

is crazy! i love this city but i'd 

rather buy plane tickets each 

month! :) so, splitting things in

half makes it way better. not to

mention, more fun! i am so

excited to have roomies -- living

the SF version of "friends" or

"new girl," haha! when else in

our life can we live with another

couple in the best area of the

city and have the best time?

it's perfect for us and we are so 

happy. moving is the PITS, but

in this case very worth it. now
we better be in the place a while

because that was our 5th move in

just 2 years! at least we've experienced

difference places and now really

appreciate this one :) lots more on 

our new roommates to come, 

{who we already love PS...} 

and a tour of the new place to

come once it's put together,

but for now -- a few pictures of

our moving day which consisted 

mostly of the girls picking up

treats and putting together

the kitchen and decorating

while the boys did the heavy

lifting. what can i say, we

have good husbands! we 

stopped by batter bakery on

polk street near our new

place and absolutely fell in

LOVE with it. it was a fun

little outing with becca and 

so so yummy. here are some

of the treats that took our minds

off moving -- always a good idea.

let's focus on treats, not moving!

^^ the blueberry peach cornmeal scone,

so darling and so yummy. all of the 

treats at batter bakery are like rustic

comfort foods that your mom would make,

but kicked up a notch ...as the owner says.

it's so true. they are all the best flavor 

combos and taste so homemade.

 ^^ apricot cranberry granola, mouth is watering!

two of my favorite dried fruits with granola..YUM.

^^ jen is the owner of batter bakery and as you 

can see, she's darling. we have her to thank for 

the good treats she's brought to this city! we also chatted 

with her forever so that we could forget that 

we were in the middle of a stressful move :)

^^ go get the sour cream apricot muffin 

and thank me later. heavenly!

these scones...how pretty are they? 

a lot of the flavors change weekly based

on what's fresh at the farmer's market,

which i love. the peach / rhubarb/ pistachio

combos were making my taste buds happy.

^^ hi pretty new roomie!

glad she will come along with

me to good new places to eat!

 ^^ and, can't forget the treats. sooo good. 

just look at them! if you go here, GET THE

CARMELITA. i almost cried while eating

it because it was THAT. GOOD. i promise.

pb chocolate chip is also so fluffy!!!

^^ thanks for the fun visit jen!

 ^^ we rewarded these movers very well :)

now we're moved, and i {barely} caught a

flight to colorado so on the road this week..

but dreaming of these treats + our new place!
