Cherry Picking in Brentwood
One activity our family enjoys doing together is fruit picking out in Brentwood at the local farms. Cherries, peaches, strawberries, apples, you name it, we will pick it! Last month, it was the beginning of cherry season and so we loaded the kids in the car and found the perfect cherry farm off the main road that hadn’t been touched by the hoards of people who all had the same idea in mind that day.
If you are looking for a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy that is rather inexpensive and quite delicious, then look no further. It truly is a fun family day when we go fruit picking and all four of our kids love partaking in it.
We picked about ten pounds of cherries and called it a day. Once we got home, my husband started the BBQ while I made an amazing cherry pie. Which by the way, is actually very very easy to make! It was the perfect end to the perfect day.
This weekend, we plan to find a peach farm. Peaches are my absolute favorite fruit and they are so much better when picked straight from the tree. This time since it has been so hot here, we plan to leave extra early to beat the crowd and the heat. When I watch the kids and my husband together doing activities like this, it really melts my heart. So much of the week is wrapped up in work, and school etc that when we get to spend time together doing something we all love to do, it’s really special. These memories are ones I hope they remember fondly.

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #holidayappetizers is soooooo easy to make and so cute too! Take your Holiday party to the next level with this simple and fun brie recipe!
•store bought frozen roll dough (thaw and let rise for 3 hours)
•8 oz of brie
•1/2 stick of melted butter
•1 tsp minced garlic
•1 tbsp Italian seasoning
•fresh rosemary sprigs
•fresh cranberries
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a piece to parchment paper and a cookie sheet, set your brie in the middle. Place the roll dough balls around your brie. Slather the rolls and Brie in the melted butter (mixed with the minced garlic). Sprinkle seasoning on top and bake for approx. 20 min. Add rose mark and cranberries as garnish once out to the oven. This is such a crowd pleaser and quick to make. We’ve also used fresh dough made by my hubby (he’s the bread baker 🤣) and that works amazing too! Let me know how you like it! Enjoy! #recipereel #holidayrecipes
You guys….it actually rained here today! And it’s cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesn’t exasperate my #potssyndrome 🙌🏻 Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didn’t run errands, I didn’t clean anything. It’s been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. 🤣 #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This one’s a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
•one package store bought puff pastry
•mini brie
•pumpkin butter
•egg for egg wash
•cooking twine
•cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel
#ad #WalmartPartner I’m getting my home ready this Fall for all my overnight Thanksgiving guests with @walmart 🙌🏻 Through this holiday season, I want to make my guests feel at home and as comfy as possible.

SO happy it’s not 100 degrees this week and we’re actually having cooler mornings. It’s Finally Fall! #sweaterweather
Added #Maui to the wall…… can’t wait to add to the collection next trip 🙌🏻🤣
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I mean…..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. 🤣
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui 🌊 Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thing’s for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and we’re already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not 🤣).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. I’m going to need another vacation after this vacation. 🙈 Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next trip… 🤣
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo 🤣… how’d he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of here…. #maui
#ad On my daily Target run, I grabbed some of my favorite @Ghirardelli Mint Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares! 🙌🏻 These rich milk chocolate squares are filled with mint and crunchy chocolate cookie bits. And did I mention they’re available all year long, not just during Holiday season. We LOVE all things #Ghirardelli and these are no exception. They make the best treat after a day of mom life! So pick up a bag or two @target
Love when my closet is organized. Does anyone else like to clean their house before leaving for a trip? I hate coming home to a mess, so I clean beforehand! #closetorganization #blueandwhiteforever
Sharing more of my Favorite @julievos jewelry 🙌🏻 The majority of these pieces are from the “Sanibel” collection! I love timeless, classic gold jewelry and @julievos is no exception! They pair well with just about anything and polish off a white button down perfectly! Do yourself a favor and snag a few baubles of your own. #julievos

That is the best weblog for anybody who needs to search out out about this topic. You realize a lot its nearly onerous to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.

I have read somewhere similar point of view and I totally agree with what you said. However, there are also some other things could be mentioned on this topic, but overall I like what you described.
In this website there is also a lot of interesting and useful information:
