While in Whistler I was able to take a little mom break and have some me time at the Scandinave Spa. I arrived about 30 minutes before the Scandinave Spa actually opened so that I could get the full tour of the property and get to take photos for this post. No cameras or phones are allowed in the baths area so no one can take pictures while you're at the spa or be tempted to check in when they should be checking out (unplugging), experiencing the spa and escaping from daily stress. Let me just say that this spa is so incredibly ... Read more...
Party Planning: Mason’s First Birthday Party
Guys, can you believe Mason is going to be turning one next month?! I can hardly believe it myself. This year has flown by so fast and at the same time these have been some of the longest days of my life. That saying, "the days are long, but the years are short" couldn't be more true right about now. My little baby has grown so much and watching him develop has been quite the treat.

Whole Foods Market Love Local Tasting Event
Last weekend I was invited to a tasting event at Whole Foods Market in Santa Clara where Top Chef Melissa King prepared an amazing tasting menu using local produce. I brought my friend and photographer Jess along with me. The meal was delicious, and the event was both fun and informative! It was very interesting to hear about how local vendors are selected to be in Whole Foods Market and what those vendors are doing to stay at the top of their category. I am a huge fan of Whole Foods and love all the local vendors they highlight ... Read more...
Beat the Heat with Dr Pepper
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Dr Pepper®. The opinions and text are all mine. Thank you for supporting the brands that help make this blog possible. Mom life doesn't really allow for many breaks. There's no such thing as down time either. Because when your little one is asleep there is a multitude of chores waiting to be done. But it's getting to be summertime and moms, like myself, want to have a little uninterrupted quality girl time! Thankfully where we live you ... Read more...
