Brown Sugar Lemonade {Recipe}
Mmmm, summertime is here again, even if our weather here on the central coast won’t have you believe it! Last weekend, my friends came to visit to escape the heat – they surely did, as we ate gelato on the wharf while it drizzled on us! However, many of the days ahead will be filled 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

Waste Less {Happy Earth}
Hi all! Recently, my love and I were watching BBC’s Blue Planet II, because we are both very fascinated in the ocean, marine biology, and oceanography. We’re quite fond of nature, and so my heart completely broke during their final episode (which, I suppose, was the point). In the episode titled “Our Blue Planet,” they Continue reading

Wine Train {Adventure}
Hello all! Last weekend, my best friend had her bridal shower aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, which was something neither of us had done before and it was so much fun. We woke up early, drove up to Napa, and made the train just in the nick of time! When we arrived in our Continue reading

Happy New Year! 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

Preschool Garden {Homegrown}
Oh, gardens, greenery, fruits, vegetables, the lazy days of summer…. you have my heart. There is something about sowing your seeds, taking careful care of them, and reaping the rewards in harvest. This is especially true for little ones – I see a calmness about them when they’re helping in the garden that is rare 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
