These are a few pages I have done recently. I don't have the designer info listed but will be more than happy to provide it if you would like to know who designed the amazing kits I used. Hope you enjoy! I find that digital scrapbooking definitely calms my nerves after a hectic day...

GO GET THIS MAGAZINE!!
Riley and Bella are gracing the pages of a magazine again! Woo hoo! This time it is a local magazine called Central Coast Magazine. The photo shoot was done about a month ago at the Avila Valley Barn. The theme of this issue is "green" and the kids were in an article highlighting local products (veggies, produce, meat, cheese, etc). They look absolutely adorable! Check it out for yourself! The issue will be on newstands for January and February.

Cruisin'
Yep, I took the plunge, literally, and went on a cruise.
I have been a bit against cruising in the past because I like to spend more time in each place instead of a quick on a off. Plus, the crowd seemed wrong, too old, too young, too into parting, etc.
But, we needed something to do for mom on her 66th bday that would meet multiple requirements, and going on a mini cruise fit the bill! So, off we went.
We picked a cruise that left out of San Diego and went to Cabo San Lucas and came back. The cruise was 4 nights, 3 full days. Our family of 4 plus mom and my sister would be going. I was actually excited to go! I needed a break from work and it was supposed to be 85 in Cabo! I picked swimming with the dolphins as one of our shore excursions because I have always wanted to do it plus I knew it was something the kids would remember. We all loved it! We also took a boat ride out to Los Arcos and then went to a restaurant called The Office that was right on the beach. Did we get enough time in Cabo, no way! I will definitely go back. But, did we all have fun and do I feel rested? You bet! Now the big question, would I cruise again? I would, and for many reasons. It was so EASY! And with have 2 little ones, I look for anything that is easy. We all had fun, from my 66 year old mom to my 3 year old daughter. There was something for everyone to do, eat, and buy! Here are some pics from our trip. Enjoy!
