Lockwood Table
I am just now finding time to sit and look through all the pictures I've taken over the last few months. Summer is still happening for us since P's preschool doesn't start until the first week of September. We've been so happily busy with playing around the house, me keeping up with my work responsibilities and trying to squeeze in some fun down time on the weekends with Sean.
I had wanted to share this restaurant with you when we were still in San Diego this summer but of course, time gets away. But, if ever you find yourself in Solana Beach on Cedros and your stomach is rumbling. Please do yourself a favor and check out Lockwood Table. It's sort of hidden in the back of one of the shopping outlets toward the south part of the street but it's darling and I really enjoyed the food. Service hopefully will work itself out a bit better but it was simple hearty locally sourced food that felt very fancy and easy at the same time.
I had noticed on our visit that they used some pretty chic hard plastic outdoor glassware that I luckily found at Crate and Barrel Outlet at the Carlsbad Outlet Mall - I picked up 14 of them and have been using them ever since.
Another cute touch there was the table water presented in sleek glass with white bottle stopper that I have since found at Ikea here in Phoenix - got one of those now - and have used to store our watermelon juice supply that we make with all the huge sweet watermelon from Crooked Sky.
I can't remember exactly what we ordered, but the kids and I shared the above hummus plate with roasted red peppers and bread, and the pressed turkey sandwich with lentil salad. Simple and satisfying. Photo by Moi.
Oh, and if you have time, the Solo and Bixby and Ball shops are so fun to shuffle through. Great ideas to steal for your home.

Blood Bones and Butter and Amaranth Greens
I'm listening to Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood Bones and Butter on my iphone via Audible.com and am loving it so much that I don't want to pull my ear buds out and go to bed.
It's rough and fun and interesting and all about food and finding your way. It's very creative and sassy and smart and it looks at the "realness" of your life decisions and relationships and I'm just loving it.
Check it out. There are excerpts on the book's site.
I had to pause listening while I was writing my In Season post on Amaranth Greens/Quelites/Callaloo for Chow Bella. But I'm dying to start it up. It's midnight which is when I turn into a pumpkin. Especially if Gretchen might decide to wake up at 7 tomorrow. Hopefully not. Pulling the ear buds out now and heading for a hopefully longish slumber tonight. Hope you all have a great week!
Here's a sneak preview pic from the Callaloo post this week. Preeeeety!

My favorite lotion
I love the smell, I love the way it makes my skin feel in the am, I love the packaging, I love that has spf. We would bathe ourselves in it if we could. It's our family lotion. We get the giant pump from Whole Foods.
Has your skin been dying too lately? So so dry right now. Happy to have a full bottle right now. :)

I love my iphone
My husband is super techie and he has to have the latest technology. It is super nice that his office pays for his phone and plan...so, we only have to pay for mine. Boy am I glad that he has gotten me into the iphone. We even have the new iphone 4. While he works full time, he's also in law school full time and it's awfully nice to be able to do the video phone feature: face time. Dada is always around. I email, I track my work hours, I work, I can get on the internet, I read blogs, I write and post for my blog, it has games for my kid {major life saver}, I record and send videos, I take and edit pictures, I use the map feature so I won't get lost...I could go on.
I have dressed my phone in an otter box. I think all moms should have a defender case {in case of spills and tumbles in the sand box}. The new defender only comes in black right now but I miss my white one:
But, I think these are pretty darling too:

I love Land's End totes
I just saw that Land's End has a big ol' sale on their totes and other things. Stock up if you don't already have them all over your house! I have the extra large one in canvas with navy handles and my initials. Don't you love monogramming!

Nursing in style
I'm just really glad I got this adorable grey ruffled nursing cover. Thanks Hooter Hiders for inventing these. I bought mine a few months ago in anticipation of my little girl.
Side note: have any of your nursing moms ever noticed how you try to find a quiet spot in a restaurant or retail place to nurse and then suddenly strangers from nowhere all happen to sit right near you? Well I have lately and I'm not getting it. Maybe I'll be more comfortable after a few more months of this.
