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!

This past weekend it snowed here in the foothills and now today it’s going to be 80…. Today will be spent gardening. I’ve noticed that when I’m in the yard planting flowers in my flower box and spend time out there, it really makes me happy and relaxes me. What’s something you do that makes you happy?
SAVE AND SHARE THIS TIP! Want your fresh #hydrangeas to last longer? I have the perfect tip for you! You can repeat this tip multiple times on the same bouquet to get maximum use out of your fresh blooms! Simply, cut a small portion off the bottom of the stem, dip in ALUM (found in the spice section of the grocery store) and stick in cold water. I promise you, this trick works. If you are a hydrangea nut like me, and hate spending so much on flowers, then try this out and let me know! #hydrangea #homehack #hydrangealove

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #stpatricksday recipe is the perfect lunch/snack for everyone! Being the Irish gal that I am, I like to make fun recipes for the kids and this one is s favorite.
•puff pastry sheets
•corned beef (or you can use pastrami)
•Dijon mustard
•Swiss cheese
•clover cookie cutter
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Use your cookie cutter on the puff pastry. Add Dijon mustard, corned beef and Swiss cheese to half the clovers. Put the remaining puff pastry on top. Use a fork to put down the sides and seal the puff pastry. Then, brush egg wash over them. These will bake for approximately 20 min. Trust me…..these are super easy to make and soooo yummy! #puffpastry
I’ve always been a fan of wearing prints. This skirt is an oldie but a goodie. #jello #printedskirt
SAVE AND SHARE MY MOST VIEWED RECIPE ! This is one of my favorite and most watched recipes and for good reason! My Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake is SOOOO easy to make and perfect for brunch! This can also be frozen and eaten later! Don’t take my word for it….make it and let me know how fast it was devoured.
•4 large croissants
•12-16 oz of cubed ham
•6 oz of shredded gruyere cheese
•6 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
•1/2 cup chopped chives
•6 eggs
•1 cup half and half
•1 tsp. honey
•1 tsp. Dijon mustard
•salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 375. In a baking dish (spray with non stick spray) add in croissants, ham, cheese and chives. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, honey, mustard and salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the bake and press down with a fork. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 50 min. This is such a great family recipe and feeds a good amount of people. So before ya come for me with how much cheese is used 🤣 remember that! #easyrecipe #breakfastfordinner #recipereels

Gosh, I love tulip season. They’re in every vase right now 💐
Here’s to hoping this week is a less chaotic week than last 🙈 #mondaymood
Been a little MIA the last couple weeks. It’s been jam packed with root canals, kids with pneumonia and double ear infections 😑. Spent yesterday at the Drs and then hospital for chest x-rays. In between that, Neil and I got away for a weekend to Las Vegas (my first time) and it was so fun and MUCH needed. I also loved that Neil planned it all this time (usually it’s me). He had shows and restaurant reservations all taken care of. It was a nice treat! Now, I’m dealing with getting all the germs out of this house and cleaning from top to bottom. I started with our room first, love when it’s clean and pretty 🤣 #mainbedroom #primarybedroom #masterbedroom #blueandwhiteforever
