We had an incredible time in Southern California last week. We stayed in Dana Point, traveled to San Diego for a wedding at the San Diego Mormon Temple for my nephew..Tommy’s wedding, we went to the beach, did a little shopping and just had some great family time.
Here is our sweet baby Ella in her cute bathing suit and hat all ready for the beach.
I took this pic of my sweet nephew Grant. Baby Ella stretching her little chubby legs.

Another sweet nephew…Taylor…boogie boarding!
The two youngest of my brother’s kids. Charlie and Grant.

Shopping in the little shop called The Cottage in Laguna Beach. Loved this slipcover!
This table was filled with tons of eye candy for the home. Dishes, glassware, linens etc… I took a quick pic because I don’t think they wanted photos taken in there. Oh I wish I could have photographed the entire store it was soooooo beautiful. Filled with all kinds of beach cottage decor.
Balboa Island at night.
Where are you all headed this summer?
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Oh my! You were just here in my neck of the woods. I live near Carlsbad. The Mormon temple is pretty - I toured it before they opened. Thank you for sharing such great photos! Looks like you had a fabulous time.
Miss Ella's is such a cutie pie! How blessed you are to have such a wonderful family. Hold tight to them. Times like this are so special. Thanks for sharing.
