fgm

we had a great date with deidre this morning.  deidre is a special sorority sister of mine and anabelle’s godmother, or fairy godmother as we like to call her (that’s where the fgm comes from).

we headed out to la jolla shores nice and early – you get pretty great parking that way.  we walked along the water, saw the seals for a bit, enjoyed a few mini cupcakes at cups, discovered the lululemon store close by (dangerous!) and had a simply lovely time together.  as you can see, anabelle seemed to enjoy herself too.

if you haven’t been to cups, you should go.  it’s an organic cupcakery and so delicious!  plus the staff is super nice.  they serve coffee drinks, teas, cupcakes of course, and they have just started making their own ice cream with the cupcakes incorporated in it.  yumm-y!  i’m going to have to try that next time.  they even host cooking classes and a ‘parents night off’ where cups teaches a kiddo cooking class while you enjoy a nice dinner at a restaurant across the street.  if anabelle was 5, i’d be signing up for that.  sounds like a great idea!

fyi – if you sign up for their e-newsletter on their site you get a 20% off coupon!

it was a perfect day for her to wear her ‘mommy’s sunshine’ onesie.  she’s slowly working her way into her 9 month size clothes.  she’ll get there soon enough, my little petit babe.
