life lately: august

this month of august flew right on by!

we're in boston / cape cod/ nantucket

this weekend welcoming in september for

a lovely labor day weekend, and i have lots

 to share from our time here.. but first i want 

to remember snippets of our past month!

our august has been filled with...

peaches. lots and lots of peaches.

bakery dates ♥

glowing golden nights in the east bay

going to the best place to be.

cable car love

still can't stay away from this place

i told you there were lots of peaches. . .

a new obsession: turkey-pesto-swiss

{actually, an old obsession that i recently remembered} 

pretty summer veggies.

always on the hunt for the best views..

and on the hunt for the perfect pluot.

{plum - apricot hybrids, our favorite}

in love with the famous fairmont hotel 

on our street. we're trying to think of 

an excuse to stay here sometime..

sent off this little princess package for

maddie mae's 3rd birthday. being an auntie

is the best, but sad to miss her party today!

this happened..

^^ sent off the cutest, tiniest SF onesie

and chocolates to my bff's new baby

boy. congrats di, ted, and rocky!

ps..this new flavor of ghirardelli is a new FAVE.

pps. i may have been tempted to buy another one

of these onesies for years in the future, i adore it!!

..acai bowls to go..

visitors, please keep on coming!

lobster ravioli turned out to be chase's favorite..
and got us ready for our new england trip :) 

bright days spent on the water

the always glowing lombard street... 

it intersects with our street and i

 find any excuse to pass by it and

take a little french dip sandwich.

panini picnic at the park by grace cathedral

no other architecture like the buildings

in san francisco...also, that blue color!

outdoor movie night in union square

was one of the best parts of the month. 

with joe & becca...roomie party!

chipotle and popcorn for our 
union square movie night!

 the classic SF movie "bullit" was showing..

the car chase scene through the city hills

was the best part, everyone cheered after!

i need to hang out at

the yacht club more often! 

perks of working at the same place- cute

notes at my desk. we may work buildings

apart at the big google headquarters, but 

that makes it fun to surprise each other.

also stopped by my hubby's desk at

work and saw this background..sweetest!

sunday bike rides to dolores park

after church..it's the place to be.

and, that view!!! 

riding with roomies 

bike riding past pretty city hall 

 dear CREAM, thank you for 

coming to san francisco! yummiest.

lunch dates + finding love notes

in the bottom of my bags

beach days on the boardwalk

snackin' on the way to work. 

almonds & pluots, could live off both!

one more here because we love this place

one day i want my car to match my 

apartment building // also, tacos are always 

best when they come from food trucks.

a perfect blue building // our new favorite walk

cutest surprise from chase's mom, 
just because! // and the sparkly city at night.

walking to meet this guy after work and

spotting him from afar coming up the hill

nights at the top of the mark

this friend coming to town and 

doing lunch and a tour of google!

cozy nights in with grilled cheese 

+ butternut squash soup and cinnamon 

sugar popovers. love those foggy nights!

salted caramel macarons + city sidewalks

^^ family google hangouts with all of us 

on at once..we love the special effects as 

you can tell by my dad's cat face! :)

speaking of family, i can't get over

this amazing picture of my mom in 

south africa. it looks good on her!

and...we survived our first SF earthquake

this month! i woke up at 3:30 in the

morning to our bed + building shaking

and grabbed chase and said "this is an 

earthquake!!!!!" it shook for 10 more 

seconds then stopped, and twitter + the

news quickly confirmed it was one!

glad everyone is okay, but scary!

i am somehow married to this stunner.

count my lucky stars on the daily!

{ps love his GQ look while riding a razor scooter}

we loved you august, but we're 

happy to see september!

can't wait for our indian 

summer to begin in the city.
