So Cal End of the Year Link Up {FREEBIES}

I'm so happy to be hosting the So Cal Blogger link up with some of my friends from all over Southern California!

The best thing about this little blogging community is that I've met some honest-to-goodness genuine friends over the last couple of years.  You can see some of our meet ups, here, here, and here!  I hosted one last weekend in Carlsbad and it was great seeing old and new friends!

Jen fron Sparkling in Second, Beth from A Kindergarten Life for Me, Courtney from Ramona Recommends, and myself.

The goodie bags were filled with So Cal swag and info from Sheila Jane Teaching.  If you love all of the graphics, make sure to check out Nikki of Meloheadz.  Her work is amazing and her cute little bobble head friends make me so happy!

Do you recognize some of your favorite So Cal bloggers?

How lucky is Holly from Research and Play?  She won a 50.00 gift card to Melonheadz's store!

When I'm not doing "teacher stuff," I spend as much time at the beach as possible.  

 I love walking my dog down to the beach, especially at sunset.

 Before a back injury, I would surf all the time.  This is a photo of me last summer waiting for a set.

 The weather is pretty awesome here in Orange County and San Diego, so I love to spend my time outdoors with friends.

 Brunch is another big thing here.  Champagne brunch is even better!

 When I worked in Laguna, my dad and I would go out to lunch at the Rooftop, which is literally rooftop dining on the water.

Does this not look like a beach out of a movie?!?!

 When we're not hiking, surfing, and playing at the beach, we love to paddle board in Mission Bay.

It's not all about the beach though in So Cal, we even have a dessert.  Weekend trips to Palm Desert are a must for shopping, tanning, and relaxing.  Seeing these dinosaurs are always a plus!

Thanks for getting to know a bit more about life in sunny Southern California.  If you're ending the school year soon, you may like this End of the Year bundle full of everything you need for some much-needed and deserved fun!
