Ran across this link today on Ipaulo. Independent news is an important reality check.

Caught this set of natural pest fighting techniques over on You Grow Girll. Mostly linking them up so as not to forget.

Last weekend we took the Milliken clan up highway 101 to Santa Maria to celebrate the birthday of a friend. The drive up the coast right now is stunning. If you have been thinking of going, now is the time. While we were there we got invited to use a vacation home in Cayucos. Cayucos is a funky little beach community just north of Morro Bay. We spent a nice evening in a tiny coastal town listening to the rain on the roof and a Sunday morning walk along the beach. Conrad, being two, made several dashes for the Pacific Ocean. Please. Do yourself a favor. Drive up the coast.
