During my last trip to Los Angeles for a conference I carved away some time to meet up with some of my blogger friends. I tend to have a bucket list a mile long for each visit with too little time to do it all. But I was so happy when one of my meet ups led me right around the corner from Mansur Gavriel on Melrose Place. The boutique has a cafe integrated into it, called Cafe Flora, so not only was I able to ooh and aww over all the pretty things, I was able to enjoy an espresso outside in their garden. This spot is seriously so cute, ... Read more...
Kimpton Goodland Hotel Review
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Justin and I spent last weekend in Santa Barbara. We stayed at the Kimpton Goodland hotel in Goleta. When I'm booking a hotel in any destination I'm always drawn to unique decor. I love that Kimpton hotels are also unique to their location. The surfboard hanging in the hotel lobby, record shop sporting some major vinyl, wood detailing on the restaurant bar, and morning poolside yoga are all some of the reason why I loved staying at this hotel. Justin and I years ago took a trip to Huntington ... Read more...
Hotel Review: The Saguaro Scottsdale
Sometimes, those impromptu trips are the best trips! I've been wanting to travel more now that Mason is a little older.

But, when Justin was able to go to his friends bachelor party in Scottsdale, AZ (we were waiting to see if he got called on a strike team before booking his flight) I ... Read more...
Traveling with Kids
I'm excited that we've brought back the mom gang to have another mom chat. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm linking up with some fellow mom bloggers to discuss specific topics that effect moms. This months post is all about traveling with kids. Do you love it, hate it, scared to try it? Traveling with kids is very different than traveling with your spouse. It's not nearly as relaxing but there is something so special about experiencing new places with your LO and seeing it through their eyes. I like to say that ... Read more...
Ultra-Luxury Staycation at The Clement Hotel Palo Alto
Happy Tuesday friends!! I am so very excited about this post today. I have been wanting to stay at and review The Clement Hotel ever since it opened in 2016. Thank you to The Clement Hotel for hosting us this past weekend. As always, the opinions expressed in this post are my own and not that of the hotel. I absolutely love an all-inclusive resort and special guest-room personalization is a huge bonus. I mean there was note cards with my name embossed on them! The Clement Hotel feels more like staying at the posh home of a ... Read more...
