Fall Wedding {OOTD}
A few weeks ago, I was honored to attend my boyfriend’s brother’s wedding. He was the best man, and as you can see, he looks mighty dapper (if I do say so myself). It was an outdoor wedding in Napa in November, so my first thoughts were cuteness, comfortability, and warmth! I bought the black Continue reading

Happy Halloween!
Our (not-so) spooky pumpkins! My love and I carved pumpkins on Friday night with some friends! He went for a Stormtrooper from Star Wars and I decided to make the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland! We’re headed to Disneyland in less than two weeks and I suppose you could say we’re a teeny bit Continue reading

Pumpkin Farm {Adventures}
Oh, Autumn… My favorite time of the year is here! We meandered over to the cute little local pumpkin patch that I’ve been supporting since I moved to Santa Cruz. I love to support local business and this is the best time of year to do so! They do so much with their small space Continue reading

Happy September! The weather is starting to change here – the skies are grey, the wind is chilly, and late Summer/ early Autumn always calls for a good chili recipe.

Summer’s Sunday {OOTD}
Ciao everyone and happy Monday! This week is bittersweet – it is my last week with the majority of my preschool students before I send them off to Kindergarten next week. Since I work in a small school, and it was brand new when I started, most of the kids I am sending off have Continue reading

Intro to Art: Matisse {Teaching Tuesday}
Today, the kiddos and I did one of our last fun projects before they head off to kindergarten in a few weeks (tears…) – we took inspiration from an amazing artist to make our own artwork! I’m going to try to pick a new artist every month and have this become a continual thing, but Continue reading

Sonoma {Adventures}
This past weekend, my love and I headed up to Sonoma county to spend some time with my family and see the new family vacation home. It is in need of quite a bit of TLC, but it’s nestled in the beautiful redwoods close to the Russian River, so I’m excited to be able to Continue reading
