I found this dress at Target the other day and I quickly knew I needed it. I love the stirred, stretchy bodice and the ties at the shoulders. It’s super lightweight and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit or a grocery store run. Because I love this one so much (and it’s unsurprisingly…
I’ve lived in Southern California for nearly 5 years, on and off. I’ve traveled up and down the coast from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Honestly, I thought I had been to all of the beaches in LA, San Diego, and Orange County. But last week, I found my new favorite beach. One of the…
Apple pie is such a classic for summer and fall. It’s one of the few desserts that most people love. It’s nostalgic and delicious. But homemade pie crust can be kind of a pain to make. That’s why you need to try this semi-homemade apple slab pie crust recipe. It’s so much easier to make…
There are certain dresses that are so good you have to buy two. I literally got this white floral dress in two colors, including navy floral because it’s so good. Its the perfect summer dress, and priced right, so I got two. When I first saw this white floral off the shoulder dress, I especially…
A few weeks ago, I shared this nuts and seeds cookies recipe. I still had a lot of extra sunflower and sesame seeds leftover from that recipe, so I created this healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies recipe. Both recipes are similar in that they are crunchy and nutty. But they are quite different because this recipe…
I’m longing for a vacation. Badly. I know I’m super privileged that the worst part about COVID for me has been the fact that I had to cancel several trips. I’ve chosen not to travel (other than a road trip to San Diego a couple weeks ago) because public health demands it. The best thing…
This post about activities for kids during COVID is sponsored by AT&T. All opinions are my own. What are your biggest concerns related to COVID? Of course, I’m concerned for our health, but my bigger concerns are actually about my children’s development. I worry that they are not interacting with their friends. I’m concerned that…
I’m a lifestyle blogger, who over the last few years, has morphed into a travel-centric blogger. For my last two jobs, I had many opportunities to travel nationally (Seattle, Miami, New York) and internationally (like South Africa, Buenos Aires, Italy, Turks & Caicos, Puerto Vallarta). This spring, I was supposed to visit Montreal, Slovenia, and…
How are you celebrating the 4th of July this weekend? Since my family is still practicing social distancing as much as possible, we will definitely stay close to home. We’ll probably have a little bbq at our neighborhood park. I was hoping to take my kids to see fireworks this year, but all of the…
One of my all-time favorite low carb recipes is my cauliflower breadsticks. I make them at least a couple of times a month. Although I love them, I decided to try to swap out cauliflower for zucchini because I had a bunch of zucchini on hand. Let me tell you, this zucchini pizza crust recipe…
Who’s ready for the 4th of July? How are you going to celebrate this year? And most importantly, what are you wearing? I wanted to share some red and white outfit ideas with you that I think are perfect for the 4th of July! Unfortunately, we won’t be traveling this 4th of July, but I…
This Butterfinger Blondies recipe is sponsored by Ferrero. All opinions are my own. Have you ever tried baking with Butterfinger® candy bars? I’ve always wondered how it would be to bake with them, so I decided to try making Butterfinger blondies. To my delight, these turned out even better than I expected, so I wanted…
Back in March, I had the chance to go to Huntington Beach with the Travel Mom for her first-weekend getaway. She had many fun activities on her weekend itinerary, including fancy dinners, parties, and some amazing speakers. One thing I never expected, was that I would learn how to surf. My Experience When I Got…
One of my favorite summer trends is matching two piece sets. I recently ordered a few different matching sets from Shein. If you haven’t shopped at Shein, one of the reasons I love it is because you can try different trends without spending too much. That way, if you only wear it for a season…
