We're finally back

I feel like we've been gone for weeks and maybe it's because we have.
From Utah to Montana,
to Las Vegas to Pirates Cove,
then heading to the beach to Camp and a few more spots from now until school starts.
It's been crazy, but a super fun crazy.

Two videos to show you where Michael and I stayed while in Vegas with our totally awesome friends.

Secretly Wishing

I was here right now. The weather is crummy today and maybe, just a little bit, I am thinking of how wonderful my trip to Cinque Terra was.

pictures taken by me

It was my favorite place on our Italian getaway. I could have stayed for days.  It was so amazingly gorgeous. The turquoise waters were in itself enough to make me want to extend my trip. I have tons of pictures to post of this beautiful city.

but this picture was one I just had to add. A while back I did a post on Italy and how I couldn't wait for my honey and I to show off some PDA while relaxing in Italy. Well, these two did enough for the whole trip. I don't know them, but we couldn't help but watch and guess their story. Maybe two lovers, who just met for the first time or maybe his mistress. We will never know, but Italians sure are lovers.

Happy Hump DAY ;)

Italian Villa

Well we are back from Italy, It was amazing. My honey and I felt like we were on our honeymoon again. Especially since we went sans any kids. I have way too many pictures and might be a few pounds heavier, so all in all it was a great trip. I have been in hibernation and probably will continue to be until next week. I've been catching up on sleep and snuggling these babies I've missed so much. Until my next Italian post here are pictures from the Villa we stayed at for a few days.

Italy

Where we will be staying in Tuscany

Our trip to Italy is approaching and I have to admit I am getting very excited.

Lately I have been trying to read up on all things Italian. I first saw this post on one of my fav blogs. It sparked my interest since we are going to be visiting Cinque Terre. I seriously can not wait. Then I started reading this blog which I thought was very insightful and funny. Check out part 2 here. Which then lead me to another blog where I read up on safety and not getting pick pocketed, it was a great read, click here to check it out. 

So now you can see why I'm excited.

Oh, and here's a lovely picture, sorry for the bun shot, but seriously I love how europeans make no effort to hide their affections. I'm hoping to get loved on like this by my honey while in Italy.

P.S. Cleanse tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Malibu

This was the view from our Hotel

 We're back. I have to say Malibu was picture perfect this weekend. We had a great time soaking up the sun and ate at some delicious restaurants. We even had a few celeb sightings.

We played for the last two days right here. Our room over looked the ocean and the sound of the waves at night put me to sleep. Each morning we had breakfast overlooking the beach, then went strolling along the coast line. For lunch we headed over to the Malibu Country Mart. It's goes down as one of my favorite spots for good eats and kiddy entertainment. Which I am always in the need of. 

As for the diet, I stuck to it! Hooray. 

Day 6 and 7 were easy. 

Now I am on day 8 which is my cleanse day. It sucks, but I'm sure any cleanse does. I am a little hungry and believe it or not I would love a shake right now. I was drooling over my husbands shake this morning. Oh, yes he started his 9 day cleanse a few days after me. 

I just hope this day goes by quickly. I haven't weighed my self yet to see what the results are from being on the diet for a week so I will have to post on day 9. 

Happy Monday!
