If you have been following me on Instagram, you would see I have a slight obsession for all things gingham this season. Over the years, I have collected quite a few amazing pieces and every Spring, I happily take them all out as well as add to my growing collection. This year for Easter, I even had gingham salad plates! So today on CCG, I am sharing all my current favorite gingham pieces for Spring.

I love wearing bold colors and patterns in Spring. I have also been known to mix patterns together with a number of my looks. Spring, for me, is my favorite season and most of all feels like “me”. You could say I have a very feminine, almost vintage, style. I am never with out a pair of retro sunglasses in hand either.


I wore this blue gingham dress out on a coffee date with friends last week. It finally feels like Spring in California and I am so happy it’s here! The flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. I have a blue jay who comes to live on my porch year after year and he made his appearance yesterday! He sits on the bench and knocks on our window with his tiny beak. It’s definitely something I have grown fond of over the years. When my Grandpa died years ago, a blue jay came to live on my parents porch as I was growing up and he did the SAME thing as my little blue jay. I have always connected the two together and so whenever this little bird comes around, I think about my wonderful Grandpa and how much I miss him. Anyhoo……back to fashion…..

This week the kids are off for Spring break. That means tons of outdoor activities and projects to keep them busy! Counting down the days until Neil and I get a mini vacation weekend just the two of us to Mendocino, an area we both have never been before! Hopefully the rain that’s on the forecast eases up so we can enjoy a little sun on the beach! Until next time….xoxo

We ALL know how crazy over gingham I am. Well, another thing I love to …
Wishing my room actually looked like this right now. It’s currently filled will piles of laundry waiting to be folded after our trip....
Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣...
I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.
I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all. You can also make in batches and reheat for later! You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!
•preheat oven 400 (this will bake for 15-20 min)
•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes
•leftover Holiday ham for the win
•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)
•Dijon mustard
•egg brushes on the top
Make sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat...
