It’s been a while, guys. Neil and I took our FIRST weekend away from the kids since March 2020. Gasp! Our hotel of choice: The Palace Hotel San Francisco, of course! I’m sharing all the details with you, so read on!
Bye kids! We dropped off our four children with Grandma and Grandpa and headed to the city. I LOVE that first glimpse of San Francisco as you head over the Bay Bridge. Growing up so close, we used to frequent San Francisco quite often. Now as an adult, I appreciate how close we still live and try to make trips out here as a family or to spend some time with Neil. There are SO MANY activities, sights, food, you name it in San Francisco and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
About The Palace Hotel
A true San Francisco icon since 1875, the Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is a renowned historic landmark in one of the World’s most extraordinary cities. Nestled amongst the Financial District, the Palace Hotel is within walking distance to Union Square, a variety of shopping, delicious eateries and tourist attractions. Dripping with historic perfection, the Palace Hotel is the perfect place to stay while visiting San Francisco, not to mention their fabulous amenities and staff!
When entering The Palace Hotel, the first thing you’ll notice is the beautiful Garden Court. What I love about this iconic hotel is the gorgeous old woodwork, marble columns and exquisite chandeliers scattered throughout. You feel as though you’ve been transported in time. How dreamy!





Neil and I freshened up in our Deluxe Suite. Our room was fantastic. It included a lovely living and dining room along with one bedroom. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with an anniversary cake! Loved it! It was the perfect room and start to our weekend getaway!





We freshened up and made our way to the their on site Restaurant, Pied Piper. All I can say is…..YUMMMMMMM! The food is always amazing at the Pied Piper and there’s something for everyone. We ordered cocktails and appetizers to start. The charcuterie board is HUGE and delish! We also loved the Ricotta Hummus. I could have licked the bowl clean but that would have looked strange to the diners, ha! We couldn’t decide on what main course to order, so we chose 3. The Trout and Cheddar Grits were Ah-mazing, the Wagyu burger and steak were perfection and we left that dinner so full, we couldn’t move.







The next morning, we ate breakfast at their amazing Garden Court. I, of course, ordered Eggs Benedict! We also ordered the Pineapple French Toast. Oh my! This was easily the best French toast we’ve ever eaten! I recommend making reservations. People come from all over the area to experience the ambiance of the gorgeous Garden Court and their famous brunch! We took a walk down to the Ferry Building on the Pier to check out the Farmers Market. If you’ve never experienced this, it’s a must when spending time in the city!




We then drove into Sausalito for a few hours to walk along the boat harbor and eat some yummy seafood! I swear I could eat seafood and stare at the ocean every single day of my life! Hopefully, someday, we will make that happen! Ha ha!

Our last night at the Palace Hotel San Francisco, we decided to stay in, apply face masks, and drink champagne. You know……….what all the married couples do! Wink wink. It was fun to have a quite night all to ourselves. Neil and I really do enjoy each others company and it’s hard to connect and get that one on one time when you are surrounded by kids! This weekend was much needed and our time at the Palace Hotel San Francisco was perfection!
Thank you again, Palace Hotel, for hosting our wonderful stay. We love your staff, the hotel and all the in between! We can’t wait to visit again!

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...
Love me some #christmasplaid 🎄...
