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…

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…

There is no more magical place to enjoy the Holiday season than in a small town in New Hampshire. I recently spent three days exploring the countryside of the Monadnock Region to see all the Christmasy things the region had to offer…

One of my favorite cities in New Hampshire is the coastal town of Portsmouth. It’s brimming with historic charm, little shops, restaurants, and little cafes tucked into alleyways. And this time of year everything is trimmed with festive garland, and the tree has been decorated and places in the square…

At the start of fall my mom and I took a little 2 night trip up to Acadia National Park to visit the beautiful Terramor Outdoor Resort. If you like luxury while still getting into nature, this glamping spot is made for you…

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…

One of the most magnificent natural wonders of this world is Yosemite Valley in California. It is a hiker and climbers paradise, and attracts millions of people from around the world every year to take in all its glory…

I started off my summer adventure in California with a week long detour to the Pacific-Northwest where my parents and I visited with my brother Alexander, his wife India, and their lovable dog Shasta. We enjoyed fun activities such as going out on the lake in their boat and tubing, skate surfing along the ocean walk in Bellingham, getting baked goods all about town, and visiting the beautiful, nearby islands!

The other day I grabbed a basket bag, my camera, some butterscotch chocolate caramels, and headed into Boston with my mom for a lovely girl’s day out! Aside from an airport run, this has been the first time since the start of the pandemic that we have been in Boston…

It has been a dream of mine to stay at Edson Hill for several years now, and my dream finally came true this winter. My expectations were high going in, and were met above-and-beyond all the way through the stay…

Tucked away in northern-most Vermont is the small, Alpine-inspired town of Stowe. The Von Trapp Family built their lodge there, and the style took off. Cabins and motels were built with an alpine twist, and now the whole town is a blend of the New England countryside and quaint Austrian chalets. It’s a whimsical, little place…

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.

From York to Acadia National Park, everything about the Maine Coastline is special. Every few miles up Route 1 there is an adorable old town, filled with shops, cafes, antique stores, and beaches. One special spot is the Ogunquit…

It is undeniable that New England has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the U.S. I have been up and down the coast, and am breaking down some of the best/prettiest beaches in the New England region, and what makes them so special…

The lupines are very special here in New Hampshire. Every mid-June fields in the White Mountains turn purple and pink with blossoming lupines. The beautiful blossoms are the perfect backdrop to any photo, if you know where to find them…

There is a cozy room in a countryside inn in Vermont that I have been dreaming of for over a year now, and that dream came true for me this winter!…
