Have you been home bound and it’s time for a getaway? I feel you. I’ve been thinking about my goal I nearly completed in 2019 to take a trip each month in the year. I was on my way to achieving it in 2020 but, […]
Summertime is winding down and honestly, it’s always bittersweet for me. Although I’m not a huge fan of triple-digit heat, I adore the light nights and escaping to the beach often. Since we’ve moved to Ventura County, Mabel and I are commonly doing three-mile treks […]
A mighty heatwave is outside my door here in Los Angeles. Despite yesterday, April 25th, often deemed as the “perfect date,” temperatures of 95 and 101 are a bit high for now. Perhaps Mother Nature knew we needed some excitement amidst the quarantine? After the […]
Have I mentioned how much I love California’s Cambria? I’m pretty sure I have but I’ll gladly say it again. Having spent some years living along the Central Coast in spots like Solvang and Lompoc, Cambria was, surprisingly, never much on my radar. Since growing […]

It’s no secret that Carmel, California is one of my most favorite places to go. Nestled on the way to Big Sur and San Francisco, Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of those places that truly feel like you are away from it all as you watch the […]
A term I have noticed suddenly coming to the front burner is “Farm to Table” dining. This means that your meal is sourced from locally grown (usually organic) produce and locally raised meats. I find it especially exciting when your dish is from right outside […]
While I am a City Girl, I could easily see myself retiring (or just moving if the chance came) to Chico, California. A college town loaded with laid back vibes, warm summer nights and a strong community bond, Chico lays just under two hours out […]
My trip to Sacramento County, Chico and Mount Shasta County is in the record books! My visit was absolutely awesome, and reminded me just how important it is to get away from it all, unplug a bit and have some FUN adventures with great friends. […]
