These pics are taken at a new cafe downtown called urbane cafe. It’s on Higuera and Morro and it’s my new fave. I think about it all the time. I’m addicted the the cilantro chicken salad with chipotle dressing. Yum.

what does your week hold? let us know or link up in the comments section and let us know.
Urbane is my new favorite, too! And so sunny inside, it makes me happy 🙂
Hi Lisa. Love your blog and website. First time posting but I’ve been a fan of yours for about a year now. I see you are posting info about BLISS. It sounds beautiful. Have you been before? I’m a photographer/designer and I’ve had a blog for a while but I’ve never really committed and that’s my goal this year. Finding my voice and really diving into my blog. Also want to attend and learn more through workshops. Wondering if BLISS would be a good workshop for me. Thanks for any info you can offer.
Hi Candice! I think Blissdom is a great place to start–get inspired and connect with other bloggers. I would definitely recommend!
Linking up today, even though it’s Tuesday! 🙂

Saying hello to another Monday with the kids home from school again! Hoping to get out on this cloudy day to maybe see a movie with them.
I agree, this is a fun age for kids (mine are 7 and almost 10). I miss sweet baby cheeks, but there are so many new things to do together as a family, too. My post today is actually about a great book that talks about how fast time flies as a mother.
Hello, loving colour and a spruce around here too.
Hello, the week after the big 2 year old’s birthday party.
Hello, yet more snow…
…such wonderful images and delightful sentiments…beautiful family picture…real!
looking forward to hearing you newest news!
we have snow here…..!
Love the grumpy Matthias! You know, I didn’t have a very hard time cutting back on the Diet Coke, either – and even now I’ve completely given it up except for the occasional soda when I’m out at a restaurant. I do crave one at times, I admit! Good for you for being strong!
I love your Hello Monday posts! They are always so encouraging.

Our family photos are the same – one is not happy to have a photo taken! Great week, enjoy the one ahead 🙂 http://thelinarstudio.typepad.com/embracelife/2012/01/hello-monday-13.html
I am saying hello to grey skies outside today and loads of housework. But, I am going to squeeze in some reading time with my feet up and eat lunch with my boys (16 & 13). I know it’s crazy how you blink and they aren’t little anymore. And also not as compliant when it comes to family pics…I like to think of that as them developing their own sense of self….change is hard, tho
ohhhhhh, big BIG announcement? you have me interested ;D
PS. blissdom – yes! can’t wait to hug you!
hello lisa and the rest of the “hello monday” crew! hello thinking about one more cup of coffee on this beautiful holiday morning…and having the time to leisurely drink it. hello to maybe a matinee later today…and perhaps urbane cafe for lunch? happy monday everybody!

Ooooh, Urban Cafe looks awesome, like the Zoup! we have here. Happy birthday to your boy! Yes, I feel the same way. I am enjoying my son more and more as he gets older and I love it. Maybe it’s because I don’t know how full my happiness meter could be when I think it’s maxed out today. But, then, sometime in the future, we hit another high! Happy Day off from school!

Hello Lisa. I wish I could say goodbye to soda, but Diet Coke keeps calling my name! Looks like you had a great week – here’s to another one 🙂
