TOTALLY DIGGING THESE 4 BLOGS.

Beautiful Bethany from Treasures and Travels now has a lovely lifestyle blog called This Ones For You. I love looking into the lives of my blogger friends, I totally feel like I know her, David and their pup Sid. Their home is Awesome with a Capital A! See for yourself in their Around Our Home tour that we featured here on MMBB. Then go check out their blog of course!

Hipster Hike from Caleb & Shawn on Vimeo.

Our talented buddy Lonnie Webb and his Gf Mermaaidy started a blog with their really good looking crew of photo snappin' adventurists called Kelcema. They have some pretty rad vlogs too. Totally makes me feel like I'm right there hiking and goofing around with them in The Great Northwest. Their instagram feed is "UH- MA- ZING!"

Our Bestie Kylle Sebree makes the most BOMB ASS furniture around. Yes, I just said that and used a bad word. I don't care. His furniture is seriously the coolest furniture and hopefully one day soon I will own a desk, a lamp, and some shelves by the one and only. Check out his blog and save your pennies.

Our awesome friends/ power couple, Russell and Brianna Brownley have started a Radical blog about Fashion, Film, and Travel. Oh the places they get to go.... it's ridiculous. Seriously. Check out Peregrin Life if you want to be inspired more ways than one. We also featured their eclectic California home in our most recent AROUND OUR HOME post. Check it out.

MOONLIGHT BEACH

I was organizing photos on the computer and when I came across these I got the biggest smile on my face. I felt like we were there again. Some of our best times have been on the beach. We can't ever seem to get enough. You can never go wrong with good friends, sand in your toes and a yummy grill sesh. Then top it off with a perfect sunset, wooooooo baby! Take me back!
2 1/2 weeks and we are there!
Encinitas here we come!
