When I started dating Joseph, I knew I was going to be trying mountain biking at some point. Now that I’m over half a year into my mountain bike journey, I feel like I can share with you all my thoughts on the sport…

You guys, we just got the best news ever!! We have an amazing housing situation that came up, and we are going to take it! Currently Joseph and I, poor newlyweds that we are, have been bopping around from house sitting gig to house sitting gig, trying to figure out where we are going to eventually live…

I have to admit, Amazon is doing pretty well in the fashion side of things lately. There are a ton of options, in various price ranges but mostly affordable, on the site right now, and I am here for it…

After months of craziness, wedding planning, work, and everything in between, Joseph and I were looking forward to a quiet, relaxing honeymoon. A little getaway with just the two of us was exactly what we needed…

The day finally arrived! 3.12.22 has seemed forever on the horizon, but after months of patience, hard work, and excitement, March 12th became a reality. Joseph and I tied the knot at 1:30pm in the afternoon, under the oak trees in the small mountain town of Oak Glen, California…

Creating our registry was such a fun part of the wedding planning process! It took HEAPS longer than I thought it would…I’m talking DAYS of work, not just a few hours, which caught me a little off-guard…

One of my favorite things about living where I am in Southern California, is that I am only about an hour’s drive from Joshua Tree National Park. The area around the national park has a few small town gems I have discovered, and I recently took a day to explore them…

Hello from sunny California! It is strange coming back to the state of my childhood after all these years, knowing that it is now my home once again…

This gift guide is all about natural…stones, woods, cottons, leathers…and I am loving it! Enjoy shopping for the moms, daughters, grandmas, and girlfriends in your life…

So, some things have happened while I’ve been away…

It’s a little under a month until I head home to NH, and my feelings couldn’t be more mixed. I wish I had 3 more months here, but at the same time, the thought of being home in New England sounds wonderful…

As you rise above the desert of San Bernardino, and head up the curvy mountain road of Route 18, you start to feel as though you are ascending into another world. You rise above the SoCal smog and are greeted by pines and fir trees thick along the the mountainside…

I’ve been working on the farm up here in the mountains in Southern CA, and am starting to settle into my summer life here. I finally get my rental car next week, and will be mobile, at which point I think everything will feel official…

I’m starting my trip off with a bang doing California right: surfing. Surfers have always been so cool to me, and I always enjoyed watching them from afar…but I was very unsure about trying it myself. I might be an adventurous person, but all my life I have had a fear of the ocean…

Here in Southern California, my grandparents have the most romantic backyard. There are arbors full of star jasmine, a bird bath and humming bird feeders, Freddie the tortoise roams the backyard devouring rose petals, a kumquat tree sits on the patio, and a long swing hangs from the Chinese Elm just below the house. It’s a small oasis in the middle of the hot desert of San Bernardino County…

For those of you who don’t know, I am currently in California, where I will be living for the next 3 months. I am working a fun job at my friend’s farm for the summer, and plan on using my days off to explore and go on fun day trips around SoCal…

There is a beautiful place that is so dear to my heart, high in the mountains of Southern California - Oak Glen. I grew up going to Oak Glen frequently. Every fall we were up there, picking apples, picking pumpkins, having fun with friends…it is a magical place.

There is nothing more timeless than a good ballet flat, and Sarah Flint’s Natalie flats fit my bill perfectly…

Some of you might not know that I was actually born and raised in California. It is one of my favorite places to visit, and this most recent trip reminded me how much I love my old home state, and how much I am longing to go back again soon!
