foggy nights with grilled cheese + butternut squash soup

getting extra surprises when i ask my husband

 to pick up some sugar on the way home ...

lots of coziness and cuddles in our living room

during the summer fog here in SF.

relaxing in our amazing new place that i am

 in LOVE with. (need to post about it soon!)

the chipotle documentary! we're big fans.

long runs and our favorite treat as a reward

dreamy buildings

popover making and movie-going at this fancy theatre

shopping and chocolates -- a great combo

bougainvillea distracting me on our many

runs, leaving me way in the dust!

feeling the BURN from the stairs

trying new yummy places with cute names

satisfying our sweet tooth with

new adorable bakeries and shops

acai bowls + froyo aplenty

donuts and errands

so much love for this city

my best friends & parents on here lately, they are

alive and well in johannesburg, south africa loving

their mission and getting to know their new home.

booked to visit them in the future... :) countdown!

riding some classic cable cars
