Our Weekend Getaway to Mendocino Part One, Heritage House Resort

Neil and I recently took a much needed two day trip to Mendocino, Ca. It was the first time either of us had been there and boy, was it amazing. Months ago, I came across the most adorable resort in Little River, a town a few miles from Mendocino, called Heritage House Resort. I had begged Neil over and over if we could stay there at some point. What can I say, somehow, I was immediately drawn to it. So, we planned a weekend trip and dropped the kiddies off with my in-laws and made our way up the coast to Heritage House Resort.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Can you believe it’s almost May? Where on Earth did the time go? May is probably one of my favorite months. Not only do I get to celebrate Mother’s Day as a mom of four, but it’s my birthday! Well….. I used to be excited for birthdays and now it’s just a year closer to being “old as dirt” as my 5 year old son has mentioned. With that said, I never pass up on doing a blog on gift ideas. Whether you are looking for a gift for your Mom or even yourself, I have got you covered with some pretty awesome ideas for Mother’s Day.

Adorable Jackets for that transition into Spring

I am fortunate enough to have grown up and still live so close to wine country here in Livermore, Ca. There are so many fun outdoor activities and the rolling hills covered in vineyards are a sight to see. One thing I have grown fond of since recovering from my extensive surgeries is learning to bike ride again. It’s a little awkward at the start, but once I get going, there is no stopping me. Bike riding has definitely become a pastime I now enjoy since I can’t engage in other physical activities at this point. And riding with a basket full of fresh flowers can’t hurt either, right? Since the mornings are still a little cooler, I opted to wear an adorable gingham raincoat. It was the perfect addition to this look. Today on Champagne Colored Glasses, it’s all about finding that perfect Spring jacket that works well transitioning into Spring.
