One of the most exciting parts of my week is when the ladies of The Skirted Roundtable put up a new podcast. I love listening in on that week’s topic and find myself nodding my head in agreement with the many things they say. How fun it would be to chat with those ladies! Perhaps one day I’ll get the courage and honor to be a guest on their show! Until then I get to sit at my table (which is not skirted) and play along.
During one of my listening sessions I realized what fun it would be to see what these ladies are up on any given day. So I emailed them and asked if they would like to participate in my IN HER SHOES series. They all said yes!
At first I was going to combine all 3 ladies into one massive post, but in trying it out it just looked way too confusing so I decided to feature one lady a week!
I’m going from West Coast to East and will be starting out with Megan of Beach Bungalow 8. What’s not to love about Megan. She is effortlessly stylish and chic, has that amazing red hair, an amazing family and killer design style.
California has always been a dream destination for me. Perhaps it was too many episodes of 90210, but I always wanted to move out. So sit back relax and enjoy catching up on a day with Megan!
6:00 a.m.~ My day begins. Ugh… I am NOT a morning person {I do my best work late night} but need to get kids up and off to school.
Crossword puzzle and Chai tea. { I quit drinking coffee about a month ago. For no really good reason except to see if I could }
My choice of shoes for the morning {as this post IS called ‘in her shoes’!}
Off to schlep the kids to school…..
After kids are dropped off, I hop on my bike and head off down the strand to meet my Blog Out Loud business partner, Rebecca for a meeting.
we do have good scenery around here.
Note: I actually do have a cute beach cruiser, however, this rusted mountain bike, weighs nothing and I can get up and down hills much faster. It’s not pretty, but it gets me where I’m going.
scenery from my ride to work.
{Note from HHFITD: Megan just emailed me this new pick and let me know it is actually Donna and Kelly’s beach from 90210 the college years. It was just up the block from her! I’m amazed! Side note to that: Her hubby was actually on the show for 2 years! Ah what seasons? I must know!}
always loved this signage.
I’m not sure what most adults do around here. An awful lot seem to be playing.
I stopped to check out the cute beach cruisers for sale at Helen’s bikes. Aren’t they yummy? I’m in the market for a new one maybe that green one would work?
Rebecca and I spending the morning at Coffee Bean, hashing out the latest project and upcoming events!
oh crap, it’s almost 2:00 have to go get kids. Back on the road again….
{this is where my rusty old bike that weighs nothing comes in handy, I have one big hill I have to crank it up in a hurry }
I’m sorry you have to look up my giant nostrils, but this picture was too funny to leave out.
first stop. Child number one. "Hi, how was your day, blah blah blah"
run back home for a bit…..
grab the mail with the help of George.
do NOT feel sorry for Fred in the background. He’s chained up for a reason and gets lots of love {even though he enjoys running away from home whenever he’s off the chain}
figure out what to do for dinner….
Borsch? Maybe? No. No way. No one would eat it. next…..
Much better, a bit of seared Ahi Tuna with Mango chutney….off to pick up child number 2…
off to Trader Joe’s {which if I didn’t have, would not be able to make a proper meal}
Oh look, I’ve changed shoes…
pretty flowers:
thanks Joe!
dinner made { food looks terrible if you aren’t a good food photographer. This was actually delish }
Dinner, homework and kids to bed….on to The Skirted Round Table.
Joni, Linda and I chat with Brooke Giannetti {velvet and linen blogger} via skype.
And then I’m done! off to bed…or maybe to work on some blog posts : )

A huge thank you to Megan! If you already love Megan like I do then you should also check out her work at Balustrade and Bitters and Blog Out Loud.
Next friday I will be featuring Ms. Joni Webb of Cote de Texas.
I'm sooo jealous of where she lives. That is for sure Hermosa Beach or Manhattan Beach…kinda the best places EVER to live in Cali. So fun to read about her day! I love her blog…
this is such a fun series! I look forward to these

Great post! I completely agree about Trader Joes. With all the beaches, these photos really made me want to move to California.

She lives in Manhattan Beach – that you know what! how lucky is she???!!!! And what a cook! Meg – I'm impressed.

How much fun literally riding down memory lane! We used to live in Manhattan Beach and I whine to Megan all the time about how I miss it. Am constantly threatening to show up at her door on a "Peace Out" friday….with whine…i mean WINE of course.
Great post & looking forward to the others.

This is such a genius idea for a blog feature!

I live vicariously through Megan from Georgia…I grew up not too far from where she is and used to hit those beaches every weekend! She IS a doll isn't she?
