This week my oldest and I read Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love. He loves the pictures in this book, they're all gorgeous and the outfits they depict are just as wonderful.

If you're in the south bay area of San Diego you need to check out Pixca farms! Every Saturday I pick up my veggie bag from their CSA program. Most times I also grab some flowers because they're always gorgeous.

I'm going to a concert at SOMA San Diego soon and was thinking about taking the trolley. Unfortunately, this walk between the two looks really unpleasant.

The second section I dislike is this one. The unpaved section of shoulder forces you directly into traffic where the speed limit is 30mph but cars regularly travel faster.

There are a bunch of different signs that all seem to warn drivers that it's a shared road with a school as well. Seems like a lot of signs that, I can confirm, do not make people drive any safer. Checkout the "bike route" sign 🤦🏼‍♀️

This road has no bike lane or shoulder. It goes past a school and also ends at another school, and the speed limit is 30mph. People ride horses down the side of the road sometimes as well.

It's hard to tell from this picture, but this #bikeanywhereday , the Imperial Beach Parks and Rec pit stop had bike powered blenders! Sorry I didn't get any action shots, but it was awesome and the smoothies were great!!

What was your favorite pit stop??

For Indie Book Store Day, I went to @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social , Bluestocking Books, and The Book Catapult! Here's what I brought home!

Love when someone who cycles clearly doesn't care about other people who use bike infrastructure ☹️

Bro, park somewhere else.

Went to the farm stand with the older kid today.

I'd like to really turn this bike into my daily driver/grocery getter, so I need recommendations for big panniers that don't go across the back like my current ones so I can fit the baby seat with them.

They can never make me hate Miss. Rachel ❤️

My husband and I have food poisoning so the baby is dancing and clapping along with Miss. Rachel today while we take turns in the bathroom 😭

Also anyone who says her voice annoys them gives weirdly sexist vibes. Maybe this is a hot take idk.

A quick video of my gopro test run on the bayshore bikeway this past weekend. Don't mind me constantly jerking my head to the side, it was also my baby's first ride so I was a little paranoid. 😁

I love this bike trail so much and I love seeing everyone else out enjoying it too!

Me driving through the grass to escape rush hour traffic after someone got mad and tried to block the shoulder.

At the book signing I went to yesterday, all of the speakers commended the crowd on driving in the rain in San Diego (a rare occurrence). I however took the trolley and had a lovely stress free trip. I even got to read my new book on the way home. 🚎
