Three generations together...

 Every moment I spend with my mom seems a little more significant now that I know very soon it will not just be the two of us, we will soon be toting around what I assume will be the cutest most beautiful baby girl that I have ever laid my eyes one...

Friday I spent the day touring the Temecula Wineries with my Mom, Aunt, Cousin and good friend/ Hairdresser as a way for my Mom and I to thank them for their help with my Baby Shower. We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed each others company on a beautiful Fall day.

Saturday begin with some garage saling around Canyon Lake with my Mom, followed by breakfast, thrift store perusing, grocery shopping and FALL BAKING!! We made her yummy pumpkin bread, acorn cookies (found on Pinterest) and Grandmas Albondigas soup! It was so fun cooking in her beautifully remodeled kitchen and just spending time together.

My garage sale finds included...

 Mini Minnetonka boots for Zöe, just like Mommy's.

And a Mexican Blanket
