My mom in law gave me a hard time last night for neglecting my blog. So this one's for you Renè
I couldn't resist trying this recipe using my leftover pumpkin from the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies - Recipe from Bon Appetit
I found it! Fall in San Diego...
{Photos by me quote by John Burroughs}
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Do anything exciting? I dragged Rich to Sea World - we had a blast. I'll post photos soon.
Happy Monday!
Checking in on my flickr friends and it appears that - despite what it looks like in San Diego - Fall has definitely arrived. Look at these gorgeous colors! I hope to find a little bit of Fall in SoCal this weekend and share it with you next week. Click and be happy!

Using a mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Beat in the white and brown sugars, a little at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time, then mix in the vanilla and pumpkin puree. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the batter in thirds. Stir in the chips. Scoop the cookie dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are browned around the edges. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Take the cookies off with a spatula and cool them on wire racks.
ENJOY!
Grocery shopping made better...
"Life. They turned Life into a musical"
Love it.
Camera Apps! I'm collecting them like they're going out of style.
Toy Camera: Applies different filters to your photos like Vintage Green, Vintage Warm, High Saturation, Toning Sepia and more!
Big Button: Great for self portraits! Touch anywhere on the screen to capture a photo. No more trying to find that little button.
Genius: Self Timer, Zoom, Anti Shake - all the bells and whistles you'd fine on your "regular" camera.
Camera Bag: One of my personal faves. It's like 10 cameras in one! Snap a photo with any of these fab effects: Holga, Lomo, Instant, 1962, 1974....
Shake It Photo: My NEW favorite. Take a photo, shake it like a Polaroid picture, and watch it develop before your eyes. Impress your friends. Here's a look at my morning using the Shake It app:
I love wearing flip flops in October {notice the little bite marks. wonder where those came from?}

On the way to work
Palm trees and blue skiesThe Clark household was sick last week. Yuck. I don't know about you but when I'm sick I'm miserable and want nothing but a cozy sofa, many blankets and the TV remote. When Rich is sick he becomes superman and cleans every inch of the house killing any and every germ, bacteria, virus - whatever. While I'm not complaining about his cleaning, it really interferes with my miserableness and naps and Design on a Dime.
Anyhoo - we're just about back on track and ready to face the week. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I left the house for a bit yesterday for a fun family portrait session. Here's a little teaser. 4 adorable sisters. So fun, so stylish and so very SoCal.
Happy Monday!
But I can't resist. And when I think back to all the time, effort and stress that went into making our wedding perfect, this little bit of recognition feels good. So if you missed it the first, second, third, fourth time - you can check out our wedding {photographed by the amazing Natalie Moser} on What Junebug Loves {fabulous blog!} I'm honored.
Another new favorite blog o' mine is The Savvy Photographer. It's overloaded with tips, tricks and TONS {and tons} of inspiration. One of my favorite features is when they introduce a new photographer, ask them a bunch of great questions {I can't even tell you how much I've learned in the short time I've been following this blog} and then they ask these awesome photogs to show us a peek at their studios/work spaces.
Apparently if you're an amazing photographer you automatically come with an eye for fantastic interior design. I've got my work cut out for me...
I see a light at the end of the housing tunnel. Someone out there accepted on of our five bazillion offers! Can you believe it?!?! It's a short sale so I'm not even holding my breath but I do feel as though this is putting us one step closer to our new home.
So with this new turn of events I'm back to browsing the design blogs {I had to put them on the shelf for awhile - it was too painful}
I stumbled across this post from Desire to Inspire who introduces us to South African {yay!} photographer, Justin Patrick {this is funny to me because my brother's name is Dustin Patrick} Justin has an incredible portfolio filled with lots of goodies. Check it out.
Do you have the day off? I don't. Happy Monday if you do. How was your weekend?
