Lake Tahoe Weekend Part 1

posted on : February 12, 2018posted by : April5 Comments

So excited to share with you our weekend getaway to Lake Tahoe. I am so glad Neil and I are on the same page with taking a little special time away, just the two of us. Of course, we love to spend time with the kids and take them on outings, however, we have really made a conscious effort to make sure we get time alone. Whether that is dinner and a movie or a night or two away from the kids, it has been amazing for us to unwind and reconnect especially when our lives sometimes seem so chaotic. For an early Valentine’s present and to celebrate Neil’s new position at work, we packed up our jackets and snow boots and headed to the gorgeous Lake Tahoe.Ā

My husband, Neil, and I took a much needed trip for the weekend down to Holiday House, Palm Springs. We had never been there before and it was a place I have always wanted to visit. So,Ā my amazing husband made itĀ happen when we found an awesomeĀ deal on Groupon for our hotel. I was a little nervous leaving the kiddos for 3 nights. Ā However, everything went smoothly and we were able to enjoy our vacation.

Castello Di Amorosa

A few weeks ago, my husband and I spent the day up in Napa Valley at Castello Di Amorosa. We are so incredibly luckily to live just a two hour drive away from such a beautiful place in California. The last time we visited Napa was actually 10 years ago and now we feel crazy for not exploring this place more! I guess having four children can do that to you. When I was in the hospital last year, with plenty of time on my hands one late night, I came across Castello Di Amorosa. IĀ knew right then and there, that once I was feeling well enough, I would make it out there to see this magical place.

A Day at Ghirardelli Square

posted on : June 19, 2017posted by : April20 Comments

This is a sponsored post for Ghirardelli Square. However, all opinions are my own.

Last weekend, my husband and I spent our first day and night away from the kids since my surgery last July. My surgery traumatized my four year old so badly that he had refused to spend anytime away from Neil or me. We have made several attempts over the last few months to leave for shortĀ periodsĀ of time with little success. This time, I bought the 400 count pack of water balloons from Costco and had a pep talk and sent him over to Grandma and Grandpa’s hoping it would go smoothly. Our destination of choice, Ghirardelli Square.
