A bit long winded here, but I want to share some tips and highlights from our pandemic getaway experiences.

With that said, I received questions about our travel during this pandemic, so I hope it offers a bit of comfort and ideas if you are making travel plans.

Hello Spring! I must admit that I love cooler weather and rainy days, and this past Winter has certainly been wet and cold, for Southern California. However, the freshness of Spring, the blooms, softer colors and the Spring fashion, has me craving warmer days and more sunshine. There is so much to be inspired by too!
Here is what has caught my eye lately … See, Eat, Wear and Follow.Continue Reading…
My little boy is one and we just celebrated his first birthday! This first year has a been a bit of blur and went by too fast. It may sound strange, but I feel like I have grown up so much too. My husband and I can’t imagine life without our sweet little guy, and can’t even remember what life was like before him. Life has never been the same since his arrival. Continue Reading…
