Celebrating the California we love…
This Valentine’s month I’m feeling a little pink. My front porch has pink pillows on the bench, pink hydrangeas in a basket, and pink on the wreath on the door. So it’s fitting that these pink Valentine’s Day gifts are catching my eye! Here’s what I LOVE now Love Faux Fur Duffle Tote: My daughter […]
When getting ready for a family road trip I always plan to have our two favorite Ellis Paul Cd’s in the car with us. “The Dragonfly Races” looks like a children’s CD, but is actually music for parents like us who want our daughter to listen to quality, meaningful music. The Dragonfly Races are kid-friendly […]

We high tailed it out of Sacramento as soon as school was out and arrived to a beautiful Winter white blanket of snow. The kids loved playing in the snow, ice skating, and waiting for Santa to arrive. In the meantime…we […]
The new year always brings on change. Changes in health, changes in routines, and changes in how I am going to tackle the new year. My mantra…Turn & Burn Baby! Why? Because last year I coasted, procrastinated, and wasn’t very serious about the important things in my life. 2019 is the year of me. I […]
I love crawling in to a cozy bed and opening up a good book that takes me away to another time, another place. Books that introduce me to new people, places, and times. In the 6th grade, Judy Blume took me away on a “controversial” journey of young adolescence. That’s when my love of reading […]
