This was a post that was originally posted at The CSI Project. Samantha's photos are just to cute and I wanted to share them with you. 

SoCal Social 2012

 Can't tell you how excited I was to attend the SoCal Social for a second year in a row! It was so much fun the previous year that I couldn't wait for it again. 

Pumpkin Pillow Case Dress

 My girl Samantha, spoiled yet again! This time I wanted her to look festive for October in this adorable Halloween version of a pillowcase dress. 

Canned Spiced Green Beans

This will be the second canning recipe that I use all the time from Farmers Market Cookbook. You can see my first recipe, Cracked Black Pepper and Lime Corn Relish. 

San Francisco Giant Race, Half-Marathon

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will  beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." 

-Rocky Balboa

Crisp, clear and chilly morning. Bay area fog and the smell of sea in the air. Perfect conditions for a race. 

This was a race that I was physically primed for. Although, after losing my first pregnancy and subsequent depression, this was a race that had many mental hurdles.  

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint 101

Yesterday I did my first Annie Sloan Chalk Paint piece of furniture!!

Excited, definitely. After my class and coming home I sat and looked at my finished piece and it just got all my brain in marathon mode with ideas. 

To put it mildly, I was planning on repainting all of my furniture.
