It's probably later in the day wherever this finds you .. unless you're in Hawaii and then it's early!  I'm Diane, mom to 4 in “it's still hot out here”, California!  I have been 'lurking' through the posts and you all look like a fun bunch of moms … I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

yes!  85* at 4:30 this evening … expected to be in the 90s this weekend!  who would know it's fall?  lol  but that is the way it works out here - it's cold in the mornings, below 60*, but by lunch we are usually warm enough for shorts, but tolerate jeans and a tee.  it will be this way until early december at least … usually long after the mountains an hour away, are topped in snow.

thanks for the welcome

thanks for the welcome, Julia!  I have always wanted to visit Australia! My little ones want to visit the Wiggles ;)  lol!! Have you always lived there?
