Cabin Livin'

"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean."

-John Muir

A peek into our 10 days in the Eastern Sierra, aka June Lake, aka our "second home"... I've been coming here every Summer for over 15 years and it just gets more gorgeous every single time.
We're so fortunate to have a cabin to come to every year.. to share with our children the quiet and the beauty that exists only five hours from the hustle & bustle of the big city.

All photos are from my phone or Instagram... (the phone is so much easier to carry around than the big camera)

Strawberry Agua Fresca

Every Sunday there is a Farmers Market right across the street from us, so when we don't have much going on we take a walk over there to do some shopping.
We always stop at the El Salvadorian food stand that makes pupusa's and the most amazing agua fresca's! Our favorite - the lime & mint agua fresca! (tastes like a mojito). We never go there without getting one! .....and sometimes we even get a pupusa :)

Recently there was a recipe on a blog that I read on occasion for Strawberry agua fresca! And since it's strawberry season it had to be done!

Here's the recipe.

People, this is so so so so so so easy!
