Trench Coat Weather
Last week, my husband and I spent the day in San Francisco. I love that we live 45 minutes away and if you leave early enough, you miss any traffic! We ate chocolate croissants and lattes at a little French cafe’. Our 4 year old son, Will, came with us and while I had my hair done at the salon, Neil and Will explored the city. After I was done, we walked around Chinatown which still had the Chinese New Year’s decorations up. I love visiting San Francisco. There has always been a huge part of me that feels like a city girl inside even though I grew up in a town full of vineyards and cowboys. When I was a teenager, I spent three Summers in New York City, by myself in a Julliard dorm, dancing with School of American Ballet. Maybe that is where this longing to be in a big city stems from?
Since it was raining, like it has been for months here in California, I opted for my Burberry trench coat and scarf, my signature skinny jeans, a white top and over-the-knee boots. I’ve had this trench coat for years and it has held up amazingly. One of my favorite purchases EVER! They still have the same style available. I have linked to some other options below for a similar look without breaking the bank! Luckily, I am a pretty good bargain hunter when I set out to find a certain piece and will wait until they go on sale or clearance to purchase them. Another way to score these boots at half the price would be to wait until the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in July. They always have a pair of OTK Stuart Weitzman boots up for sale and almost always for 40-50% off.
We are off to the city again this weekend. This time we are bringing all the kids to the California Academy of Sciences and hopefully the botanical garden if the rain lets up! Have an awesome long weekend!

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #holidayappetizers is soooooo easy to make and so cute too! Take your Holiday party to the next level with this simple and fun brie recipe!
ā¢store bought frozen roll dough (thaw and let rise for 3 hours)
ā¢8 oz of brie
ā¢1/2 stick of melted butter
ā¢1 tsp minced garlic
ā¢1 tbsp Italian seasoning
ā¢fresh rosemary sprigs
ā¢fresh cranberries
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a piece to parchment paper and a cookie sheet, set your brie in the middle. Place the roll dough balls around your brie. Slather the rolls and Brie in the melted butter (mixed with the minced garlic). Sprinkle seasoning on top and bake for approx. 20 min. Add rose mark and cranberries as garnish once out to the oven. This is such a crowd pleaser and quick to make. Weāve also used fresh dough made by my hubby (heās the bread baker š¤£) and that works amazing too! Let me know how you like it! Enjoy! #recipereel #holidayrecipes
You guysā¦.it actually rained here today! And itās cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesnāt exasperate my #potssyndrome šš» Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didnāt run errands, I didnāt clean anything. Itās been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. š¤£ #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This oneās a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
ā¢one package store bought puff pastry
ā¢mini brie
ā¢pumpkin butter
ā¢egg for egg wash
ā¢cooking twine
ā¢cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel

Added #Maui to the wallā¦ā¦ canāt wait to add to the collection next trip šš»š¤£
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I meanā¦..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. š¤£
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 š Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thingās for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at WaiŹ»Änapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and weāre already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not š¤£).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. Iām going to need another vacation after this vacation. š Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next tripā¦ š¤£
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo š¤£ā¦ howād he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of hereā¦. #maui
#ad On my daily Target run, I grabbed some of my favorite @Ghirardelli Mint Cookie Milk Chocolate Squares! šš» These rich milk chocolate squares are filled with mint and crunchy chocolate cookie bits. And did I mention theyāre available all year long, not just during Holiday season. We LOVE all things #Ghirardelli and these are no exception. They make the best treat after a day of mom life! So pick up a bag or two @target
