fresh seafood
lemon cucumbers
enormous avocados
my fabulous mom
My mom visited me over the weekend and we had the best time. We spent the weekend walking around Santa Monica, relaxing at the beach, eating amazing sandwiches at Bay Cities Deli, and buying fresh produce at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. We were in awe of all the beautiful fruit and interesting vegetables and enjoyed being outside in the sunshine. I loved being able to spend time with my mom and share my with her my typical summer weekend.

The berries look amazing in that photo! Sounds like fun :) I haven't seen my mum for a month or so, starting to miss her a bit now!
Everything looks beautiful! Sounds like a great weekend :)
don't you love those fresh berries and absolutely love any fresh fruit from a farmers market. Spending time with mom is always so much fun right? my mom is back home in North Carolina but I love it when she visit.

I miss going to the Farmers Markets when I was living in San Francisco. The Farmers Markets in Austin just don't look as good. I had never seen yellow berries!
Great photos, Valerie! How interesting are those lemon cucumbers!
Sounds like a great weekend!! Those berries look amazing...

Sounds really fun!
I love when my parents visit me and get to see my life in the city.
Love your pics, those berries look perfect.

This looks like an a amazing farmers market, I wish we had more of those here! I love when the food is so fresh and tasty!
Aww the pic of you and your momma is so sweet. LOVE the SM farmers market. :)
The fruit looks absolutely delicious!
Aw, how cute are you and your mom! Glad you girls had a good time!
Hm, lemon cucumbers, never heard of them, did you get some?
Hope you are having a lovely Monday :)
Smoochies

The farmers markets are great aren't they? I haven't been to the one on Arizona but I have been to the one on Main St. awhile back. Now I mostly go to the ones down here in the south bay. I love being able to get fresh produce and make a fun day out it!

aw, your weekend sounds amazing. And those strawberries look like the most perfect ones ever!
I'm drooling and it's all fabulously healthy!
How fun! I love farmer's markets!! ... and thanks for the tip about salmon with herbs and veggies! I have never thought to cook them together!
Oh, what a lovely Farmer's Market.
YUM!!! I love farmers market! The foods there are always fresher and more delish! :)
Looks like some great stuff at the Farmer's Market! The yellow raspberries (or what looked like raspberries) were so beautiful. And I'd die for those giant avocados! Mostly though I'm jealous you were wearing a jean jacket! I so miss the beautiful California weather which is just perfect all year around. You're a lucky lady!
Glad you had such a fabulous weekend! I hit the farmers market yesterday too and made a pretty delicious dinner. It was bursting with fresh flavors.
Happy Monday!
You both look so lovely:) Such a wonderful photo...It always so fun to have mom around for a little bit:) I miss those times too:)
Kisses,sweetie and I am off to read more of your posts:)
I'm glad that you had a nice weekend with your mom. It's funny because I live close to my mom, yet we often don't have 'concentrated' time together like this. Even though I'm sure it is challenging living far apart, this is one benefit- having fun 'girl weekends' to do LOTS of things together.
Love, love, love the farmers market! I swear, you can find anything there, just waiting for the pickings...
XOXO

fun pics! lemon cucumbers??! I didn't know those even existed - how cool!
Val you're going to laugh at this one: when I saw your first picture with the roadblock I got a knot in my stomach and actually FELT the stampede!! bahahaha
That is a great farmer's market though and you're so lucky you got to go with your mom. I can't even get my parents to visit. :(
GF you look great in those shorts!! I see 'em!! I've been wearing pretty much a carbon copy of the outfit you've got on there. Wouldn't it be funny if we ran into each other wearing the same thing? Actually kind of amazing...

I've seen lemon cucumbers at my farmer's market, never bought them though.
I've heard that the SoCal farmer's markets are amazing...your pictures make this one look great...
Your mother is so cute! I can see the resemblance. I get so excited when I have a fun weekend with my mom. I bet your mom was excited to leave the triple digits behind!
The farmer's market looks great! And I love your jacket.
