Anitza V: All those caterpillars raiding my garden? This is what they turn into. πŸ˜•
Anitza V: Thanks to the @dodgersfoundation crew for stopping by the Aquarium and especially to @ross_stripling for hanging with about 100 kids this morning after his late night "run from a bear" that won the game against the Pirates. #goblue #losdoyers #dodgers
Anitza V: Smells sooooo good! Claire offered to make me some pesto so to harvest I went! @140claire #jardinvalles #suburbangardening #urbangardening #growyourown #homegrown #basil #fromseed
Anitza V: All my other pepper plants have white flowers, but this Chinese 5 color pepper plant sets out these stunning purple flowers and peppers! The 5 colors are cream, purple, yellow, and orange to red. What I don't know is if each color is a different plant. If
Anitza V: May the 4th be with you! . . . #maythe4th #maythefouthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #r2d2 #bb8

Anitza V: So one of the #inchworms cocooned itself on Friday. The others are getting pretty chunky. I wonder how long it will take to turn into one of those white moths. We're not watching this for months on end! πŸ›
Anitza V: Sofia with all the other talented kids from the @webreak crew! Last night was their Spring Recital and she rocked it. I'm so insanely proud of her. [Photo courtesy of @webreak.] #webreak #bgirl #bgirl #recital #breakdance #weebreakers
Anitza V: My loves. How did I get so lucky? 😍
Anitza V: Seeing Blue Cavern like this never gets old. #loveaop #aquariumofthepacific
Anitza V: Our garden is under attack! So we're keeping some πŸ› as pets. For now. While they amuse us. I have no sympathy for them. #jardinvalles #gardenpests #caterpillars
Anitza V: Sprigs of rosemary, a baby lettuce, and some flowering lemon thyme. #jardinvalles #greenthumb #herbgarden
Anitza V: My poor kid had a rough night again. Came down with a nagging cold at the end of the day yesterday. So she stayed home and watched lots of tv and I painted her nails so she'd sit still while I worked. Amazingly it worked (it's how you know she's really fe
Anitza V: My first pepper of the season. At least for now. Craig's Grande Jalapeño Pepper from Baker Creek. #fromseed #jardinvalles #growyourown #urbangradening #suburbangardening #bakercreekseeds #pepperplant #gardening #craigsgrandejalapeno #socalgarden #socalgar
Anitza V: My first California poppy! I seeded this front planter mid-February and thought I completely missed the window for getting blooms this year. Looks like I might even get a few more. We'll see how it does. #jardinvalles #Loftus #Inas1982 #TripleCrown #hips
Anitza V: And so the battle begins… #jardinvalles
Anitza V: Inspiration.
Anitza V: I would not mind one of these green walls at my house or my office or anywhere really. They're awesome!
Anitza V: A little trip to the South Pacific.
Anitza V: Sofia and the moon.
Anitza V: Thanks so much to Brad and @lakewoodchamber for my lunch and $25 gift card at the awesome @cassidyscornercafe! Saw them streaming live on FB at a mystery location but I instantly new it was Cassidy's so I hopped in my car and next thing I know I'm on FB l
Anitza V: This Red Freddy variety of Basil Genovese is so pretty! @bakercreekseeds #bakercreekseeds #redfreddybasil #basil #jardinvalles #fromseedtotable
Anitza V: It's gonna be a good summer. Put some of my tomatoes and peppers in the ground today and the random pole beans that made it are coming along alright as well. #jardinvalles
Anitza V: Sofia loves trying the #birdfreeze but tends to get her arms switched around but it's so cute to see. Lots of cute new faces today! Back half of this session started which means we're on our way to her second recital. Let me know if you're interested in t
Anitza V: Apparently it's been eleven whole days since I've showed you how my tomato seedlings are doing, so here you go! πŸ˜† πŸ… 🌱 #seedlings #tomatoes #jardinvalles #growyourown
Anitza V: A blanket of fog this morning.
Anitza V: Nothing quite like a dress you can twirl around in… Sofia started in a new classroom today and did great. She moved up from the 2/3 year-old classroom to the solid 3's. She's going to get homework now. 😞 #noturningback #twirldress
Anitza V: Trying some kick-outs for the first time at her #weebreakers class this morning. @webreak #webreak #breaking #bgirl
Anitza V: Float on. And swim. Lots of swimming, please. Oh! And I forgot to post her survival test from last week, but she passed! I'll post it later tonight. . . #watersafeswimschool @swimwatersafe #swim #lifeskills
Anitza V: Barreras 4th Annual Halloween Bash! #Susie #Love81 #PopRox
