Happy August!
I can hardly believe the summer is flying by so quickly! We only get so many warm days in Tahoe so I am trying to embrace them as much as possible! For example, this weekend, we're going to drive around the lake for the first time ever. True, I've been to all of the cities around the lake at one point or another, but I've never taken a day to be a tourist and just drive around the lake. Crazy, right? We plan to have a fun lunch and do some shopping all while taking in the beautiful scenery.
Also crazy, is the fact that I have not taken advantage of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I mean, who am I? There are so many cuuuuuute clothes for kids, like this star hoodie, these jammies, these dark wash jeans and top siders for boys and girls. Speaking of girls, I'm loving this cute "smile" top and chevron dress. Have you shopped the sale yet? Any good finds?
And even though I'm not eager for summer to end, I'm excited to get into fall and perhaps darken up my hair a bit. What do you think? I've only gone dark once before {waaay back in college} and I think it was a little too drastic.
So maybe something with a little more honey blonde would work?
Speaking of brunettes...
Did you guys watch the Bachelorette finale {well, Part 1 anyway} this past Monday? OH man...they sure pulled a rabbit out of a hat with that one, right? But I have to say, I'm fully convinced he comes back next week, which is why the whole finale was switched up. I guess we shall see!
Last, I plan to debut Ethan's one year photos tomorrow...here's a sneak peek:
I am seriously SO in love with them...I can't wait to share the rest!
How's that for my random thoughts for Thursday?
Until tomorrow...

The ombré thing is still in so maybe go a little darker but keep the ends light. I love your sneak peek and can't wait for the rest!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's so much fun to be a tourist at home :) Enjoy the drive.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the ombre look... you should totally go for it!

I vote for the ombré look too.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I take Sunday drives all the time - it's helped us explore the city and our region and we've come across some pretty cool things. Enjoy your weekend :)
Driving around the lake sounds like such a fun day!!! All i bought at the Nordstrom sale was shoes for Sterling, alas shopping is not so much fun when you can't fit in anything! The Bachelorette was a shocker I bet you are right I hope he comes back because the other two guys are going to feel stupid when they see this and she says she loved him more!
ReplyDeleteYou look as though you live in a beautiful place. Very jealous. I want the summer to last forever, although here in the UK when we actually have heat we have unbearable humidity and no air conditioning anywhere. No great for going to work in!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love that family picture of you guys!! The lake drive is great. I attempted to do it once when I lived in Reno but we stopped at Emerald Bay then backtracked.
ReplyDeleteEmerald Bay is my fav and that stretch around there is one of the most beautiful areas. Have fun! Stop at Garwoods for a Wet Woody!! ;-)
The lighting in that photo is amazing! It is such a great pic of you guys!! I can't wait to see more!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I think you could totally rock the ombre thing!
ReplyDeleteThe family picture is just so darn cute! The background is so amazing...Tahoe is gorgeous! The trip around the lake sounds fantastic...isn't it funny how we don't do the things that *everyone* else comes to our hometown to do??? (c; Have a blast!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give the ombre look a try, it would look awesome. And that family photo is just perfect...can't wait to see the rest!

I hope you guys have the best time driving around the lake! I seriously miss sunny days in Tahoe/going to the beach! And I know I've told you before but I'm obsessed with Ethan's 1 year shoot, it's perfection :)
ReplyDeleteThat hair color looks great on you. We just celebrated Matthew's first birthday this last weekend :) I only got a few sneak peeks up from his photo session though. I'm so excited to see the rest of yours!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I've been following your blog for months now and I am just realizing you live in Tahoe! I'm a Southern CA girl too that lived in Tahoe for 3+ years but now back in San Diego. But, we still have a home up there and get up there quite often. Love your blog!!! Write more about Tahoe. :) I miss it.
ReplyDeleteOh TOO fun!! Are you guys on the south or north shore?
DeleteTotally agree that Brooks comes back in the end. I too am getting ready to change up my hair color and warm it up for fall! Girl go get your shop on!!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is that drive going to be! Awesome! Are you taking Ethan? How does he do in the car? Mac hates being in his car seat, so driving anywhere gives me a panic attack.
ReplyDeleteI think dark/warm lowlights are perfect for fall. I just got some reddish ones in my hair, but they don't last very long. I'm considering full-on red this fall...maybe.
Can't wait to see Ethan's photos!!!
I totally think Brooks is coming back next week too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the ombre look! Try it!
That is a beautiful family photo Natasha! You three are such a cute and happy family. Sounds like a fun day to take the drive around the lake and take your time enjoying the sights, eating and shopping. So fun to explore the areas where we live. We live right across the Golden Gate Bridge (Marin) and my husband and I were saying we don't spend enough time in San Francisco and it's so close. We do try to get to the Napa Valley quite often and explore. You look beautiful with both darker hair and the blonde!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I was so angry with the Bachelorette! Poor Des! He better not come back!
ReplyDeleteHave fun driving around the lake! :)
good grief he is cute in that last photo! I actually kinda like the dark hair for fall! I reallllly wanna do something darker to but i'm so chicken. and Brooks is KILLING me! I think he comes back as well. Fingers crossed!
