Nothing signals the start of a great weekend away more than being greeted by rolling hills of wildflowers and a larger than life red sign welcoming you to your destination. A few weeks ago this is exactly how we were greeted for a 2 night stay at the iconic Cuyama Buckhorn located in New Cuyama, […]
I will be the first to admit that the idea of traveling during a global pandemic was not my idea of fun but sometimes life has some unexpected plans. In early July I found myself having to make a trip to Santa Barbara for a few days and immediately started researching. Over the course of […]
Picture an idyllic city full of white stucco buildings, red tile roofs, the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. There are palm trees and bougainvillea everywhere you turn and the ocean breeze keeps the Summer temps mild. Sounds like heaven, right? That is probably because for so many Santa Barbara IS heaven…a sanctuary from […]
Hello, hello!! It feels like it has been forever since I have had a moment to sit down and start writing about our recent road trip. As you may know from Instagram Chris and I took a 10 day road trip all the way to Atascadero and back. I have LOTS of photos, recommendations, and […]

Happy Monday!!! This past weekend was such a whirlwind in the best possible way. For anyone who doesn’t know, I am a huge fan of The Eagles and had never seen them live. A few months ago Chris came home from work and told me they were playing in LA for two nights so we […]
Spending Memorial Weekend in Lake Arrowhead is always something I look forward to. The feeling of escaping to the lake, Summer concerts, tacos on the patio, and the smell of the pines are instant “Summer” triggers for me. This year we knew the weather was going to be more Winter than Summer but we still […]
Last weekend Chris and I packed our bags, hoped in the car, and headed to Vegas for a few days of fun, sunshine, and fraternity memories. Chris’s UNLV fraternity chapter is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year and a group of alumni organized a full weekend of cocktail parties, cabanas, and a huge dinner for […]
It’s my favorite time of year here in Palm Springs which means one thing…Modernism Week is right around the corner! Each year Palm Springs hosts thousands of Modernists in October for Modernism Fall Preview and again in February for 10 days of tours, lectures, parties, and history. It’s a mid century modern dream! The first year […]
