Champagne + Wedding Daydreams
Hello all! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted, because it’s been quite a busy two weeks – we traveled up to wine country for a birthday in the family, and last weekend I had the privilege of being my best friend’s maid of honor for her wedding. So eventful and busy, but we… Continue reading

Summer Sunshine {Solstice}
Last Thursday, for the Summer Solstice, I wore bright yellow and florals and after work, we headed to the beach! We brought dinner there, ate overlooking the ocean, dipped our toes in the freezing cold water, and walked in the sand and visited our jetty, where we touched the lighthouse for good luck! It was… Continue reading

Spring in the Woods {Adventures}
This Easter, we went for a hike in Armstrong Woods State Park in Guerneville, California. It’s quite a gem tucked away in a small woodsy town on the Russian River in Sonoma County, about 30 minutes west of Santa Rosa. It’s truly a magical place; right when you enter the park, it is green and… Continue reading

I know we’re already a few days into the new year, but I have been spending some time reflecting on the past year and creating goals for the upcoming months. 2017 was messy, wonderful, crazy, emotional, and I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store for us! We started the… Continue reading

Welcoming Autumn
Pumpkins, scarves, and falling leaves… oh my! Autumn is my favorite time of year, and for good reason – I am an Autumn baby, after all. My birthday isn’t until November, though, so we’re still focusing on Halloween festivities! This month, we’ve watched several Halloween movies, made pumpkin spice bread, drank Maple Pecan lattes, went… Continue reading

Greenhouse Wonderland
Last weekend, my love and I made the short trek up into San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park so we could go somewhere I hadn’t been since childhood: The Conservatory of Flowers. It was like stepping into a tropical greenhouse wonderland, and I am now even more obsessed with bringing more greenery into our little home.… Continue reading

Love your Mother {Nature}
Summer is officially here and for me, that means getting outside and exploring any chance I get! Today, we took a little hike in the Forest of Nisene Marks in Aptos, California. It is so green and beautiful there, and it makes me feel peaceful and at one with the earth. My mom asked for… Continue reading
