Happy Wanderlust Wednesday! I'm super excited for today's post because I just had the most wonderful staycation with my mama friends this past weekend. We were celebrating one of my best friends who is moving back out of the country next month and so it was a very special weekend. The Dream Inn Santa Cruz was the perfect location for our staycation. We had amazing ocean view rooms, were provided the best customer service, and had a wonderful mom slumber party staying up WAY TOO LATE! Ever since The Dream Inn underwent a ... Read more...
Weekend in Yountville | Wine Tasting and Foodie Trip
Happy New Year! This is my first post of 2019!! I was originally planning this post for the end of 2018 but after I got sick on Christmas I decided to give myself a much needed break and some time off from the blog. But I couldn't not share about my last trip of 2018 because it was to one of my favorite places in wine country! I did already share all three outfits that I wore while in Yountville but if you missed them you can check them out here and here. If you and your girlfriends are looking for a fun wine tasting and foodie trip ... Read more...
Mansur Gavriel Cafe Flora
During my last trip to Los Angeles for a conference I carved away some time to meet up with some of my blogger friends. I tend to have a bucket list a mile long for each visit with too little time to do it all.

The boutique has a cafe integrated into it, called Cafe Flora, so not only was I able to ooh and aww over all the pretty things, I was able to enjoy an espresso outside in their garden. This spot is seriously so cute, ... Read more...
Kimpton Goodland Hotel Review
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Justin and I spent last weekend in Santa Barbara. We stayed at the Kimpton Goodland hotel in Goleta. When I'm booking a hotel in any destination I'm always drawn to unique decor. I love that Kimpton hotels are also unique to their location. The surfboard hanging in the hotel lobby, record shop sporting some major vinyl, wood detailing on the restaurant bar, and morning poolside yoga are all some of the reason why I loved staying at this hotel. Justin and I years ago took a trip to Huntington ... Read more...
Hotel Review: The Saguaro Scottsdale
Sometimes, those impromptu trips are the best trips! I've been wanting to travel more now that Mason is a little older. I'd like to be able to take him on short weekend trips more often than just a planned long week to two week family vacation. I've got a few trips planned already, sans Mason, or at least they're in the works for later this summer and beginning of fall. But, when Justin was able to go to his friends bachelor party in Scottsdale, AZ (we were waiting to see if he got called on a strike team before booking his flight) I ... Read more...
