Livermore Wine Festival
Every year since I was a child, we have gone to the wine festival in Livermore. When I was younger and my mother owned a dance studio, I used to dance on the makeshift stage they set up next to the wine booths. Over the years, this little festival has grown and it’s even more fun taking my own children now.
Featured Item:
Something I love to do at the festival is walk along the different booths looking for that special something I just need to have. I can literally shop anywhere. With the large assortment of shops, there is something for everyone and you can drink while strolling along the street. This year I opted for the piña colada in a pineapple and it was definitely worth the $10 bucks!
For the last 8 years, I have become accustomed to getting my palm read and let me tell you, for the most part, she is always very accurate. This is something I must do before we end our day at the festival. This year, it was not the same older lady I am used to sitting with and she was not nearly as good. However, it is always a fun thing to do if you happen to be in Livermore during the weekend fun.
We have quite a few shops here in town that design and make home items. I always love looking at what these companies can do with old wine barrels. They are some of the most unique and fun pieces I have seen and someday, I will find a place for one in my home. We came across a vendor called B Unique Designs. My husband fell in love with this wooden skyline picture of San Francisco. We did not get it, but I just may take a special trip into their store to buy it for Father’s Day. I also loved the EAT sign they had. You can see both below.
Lunch time came around and the kids chose to eat hotdogs and sweet potato fries, while my husband and I, waited in line for a shrimp po-boy and tri-tip sandwich. Many of the local eateries set up a booth, so it’s not the typical fair food you would normally think to see.
After a few hours and some sunburnt shoulders, we called it a day and headed home. I wore a blue gingham maxi dress that I bought last year before surgery. I was so afraid when I grew 3 1/2 inches that it wouldn’t be long enough but it surprisingly fit perfect and now shows off my sandals a bit more.This hat is a new purchase that I am so happy about. It was not only super affordable, but it goes with everything I love to wear in the Spring and Summer. I wore it last week on a picnic with my girls. You will see that up on the blog shortly as well! The basket bag is also a great accessory I stumbled upon online for a very good deal. Check them out below in my outfit details.
If you are ever out this way, you should definitely check out the wineries and little downtown Livermore has to offer. It really is a pretty place to visit.

Added #Maui to the wallâŠâŠ canât wait to add to the collection next trip đđ»đ€Ł
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I meanâŠ..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. đ€Ł
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui đ Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thingâs for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at WaiÊ»Änapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and weâre already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not đ€Ł).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. Iâm going to need another vacation after this vacation. đ Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next trip⊠đ€Ł
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo đ€ŁâŠ howâd he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of hereâŠ. #maui

Whatever your style may be, I think itâs really important to make your primary bedroom a sanctuary. The blue hues really cheer me up each day.

SAVE AND SHARE THIS DIY HACK! We turned an inexpensive wine fridge into a pricey CafĂ© Matte White appliance đđ» We have all CafĂ© appliances in our kitchen and I reeeaaalllly wanted a wine fridge. We took a look at the Cafe one and did a double take on the price! No way were we going to over $3k on whatâs essentially a mini fridge đ So, @theeneil and I brainstormed and decided to wing it with this #diy project. While Neil cut into the cabinets, I sanded and painted the door. We found that Sherwin Williams âRock Candyâ was an identical match. First, I actually used one coat of the Rustoleum appliance epoxy enamel and once that cured, I did a coat with a metal roller if the rock candy in satin (I chose satin because I didnât want a high gloss coat since the other appliances are matte). I got the handle off eBay and Neil drilled new holes. You will have to get creative on how you install the handle since they use something you canât even find at a hardware store. After a few trips to Home Depot, we got it figure out. Neil added some new trim to polish it off and it fits like a glove! All in all, we saved around $2500 with this DIY project and it looks AMAZING! #cafeappliances #winefridge
