I was thrilled when we were invited to once again return to the breathtakingly stunning Carmel by-the-Sea (& Carmel Valley, too!) for a weekend getaway. While SoCal was being throttled with El Nino, I was oblivious to the wet and windy weather. Instead, we were […]
My first trip with Michael was to Carmel-by-the-Sea. The city was not only breathtaking, but we were treated to such great hospitality at The Hofsas House with their ocean views, kitchenette & daily breakfast. We are thrilled to be returning in the new year & […]

Next month is The 10th Annual Los Angeles Travel & Adventure Show, & with yours truly covering more Travel on Along Comes Mary, I am super excited to be going. I will admit, I kind of don’t know what to expect! So, when I checked […]
I’ve been here, literally, for easily almost two hours, desperately trying to find the perfect word to award my own for the new year. Gilmore Girls streaming on Netflix, kitchen breaks for chocolate or wine, frantically searching the Saurus, my dog by my side, that’s […]
