....to Wordpress ;)

After months and months of redesigning, revamping and rethinking this lovely little weebly blog of mine, I came to the conclusion that I needed to move. As much as I have LOVED weebly (that drag & drop feature is everything) and this particular blog, I knew that at the end of the day I wanted to grow my blog and my creative skills.  With that came the long and painful process of finding a new platform and the long and SUPER FUN process of creating a new website.

You'll find that it doesn't look too different from this blog, just a little cleaner and more defined. I will still continue a lot of the same series and types of posts I wrote here (The One All About The Little Things, California adventures, The One With LINKS of Happiness, random lifestyle rambles, etc) but am excited to announce some new ones (lunchtime adventures, free downloads, lovely latelys, my LA List and more!!)

On my new (and improved) blog I am really focusing on 3 things: adventuring, creating and rambling. Y'all this new blog will be more consistent, more visual, and just flat out MORE FUN!!!!!!!! And I hope to see you over there :)

So go check it out friends!!  www.theonewhereimovetocalifornia.com

Thanks a mil!

Just because it's the middle of the month doesn't mean you can't start a new calendar! ........right?!

Like I mentioned last month in my printables post, I have been doodling up a storm lately. Sometime around mid-January I realized my room was calendar-less and also that I was money-less. Well, at least too broke to spend the mula on one of those over-priced but freakishly cute calendars I have pinned all over the place. So naturally I did the next best thing, create my own. And I decided to share them with y'all!!

These calendars are great. They print best on high quality paper, unless you have one of those super printers, then regular paper should be just fine!! If you would like a more simple look, I have calendars for each month without the doodles, and those leave plenty of room to write little to-do lists or add your own embellishments! There are so many things you can do with these calendars: print them out normal for a more minimalist approach or on colored or design paper to add some fun! You can also hang them up with a clip board (like I did), with a magnet for a fridge calendar, washi tape, close pins,  or put it behind a frame and use a dry erase marker to write with!

I have left both sets of calendars number-less so they can easily transition from year to year!! Right now I am in the process of creating desktop wallpaper calendars as well as more colorful printable ones! If you are interested in knowing when those (or any other printables) are available on the blog either subscribe in the box to the right or follow me on Pinterest!! Enjoy! :)

So after a pit stop at The Saguaro and an incredible time exploring Salvation Mountain, we ended the day with a picnic on the shore of the most beautiful place I think I have ever seen: The Salton Sea. 

The Salton Sea is MASSIVE. After driving through the middle of the desert we turned right and out of nowhere there was the most beautiful, still water stretching as far as the eye could see. It was a miracle we didn't get in a wreck because I could barely keep my eyes off it. It took us about 45 minutes to drive around one side of it. I'll say it again, 45 MINUTES. ONE SIDE. WITH NO TRAFFIC. Honestly we didn't even make it to the end of the sea because we turned to go to Salvation Mountain. That's how gigantically vast this place is. 

After Salvation Mountain we drove along the "coast" looking for a good place to picnic. When we finally found one, we opened our doors to the strongest saltiest sent my nose has ever smelled and took it all in. I did not want to look away for a second because I thought I was dreaming and in a moment it would all be gone. 

Y'all I saw more colors in this sunset then I've ever seen in my life. I still dream about this place and I wish we could have spent more time there. Maybe next time we will drive all the way around the Sea!!!

You know you've picked the perfect spot to watch the sunset when several professional photographers show up....

I meannnnnnn come on!!! Would you believe me if I said pictures can't do it justice??
