A little reel of the pretty @bernarduslodge in Carmel Valley. We try and get here at least twice a year for a little weekend retreat.

It’s in the perfect location as you can enjoy all the charms of Carmel -and soak up the sunshine while you’re at the resort just up the road from the coast. The rooms, pools, gorgeous gardens, and mountain views are soothing. It’s my happy place and if you are near Carmel, I can’t recommend it enough.

On the weekend blog I shared my favorite summer green salad. It’s the traditional with a few twists to make it have more flavor and crunch. A nice option for a Memorial Day barbecue if you’re having one today.. Link with details in bio.

We had houseguests and now a free day, but the weather has been dark and cool for this summer kick off.. 😕 Hoping you all get some time to enjoy this extra day off.

I am thinking today of all those who gave their lives for our nation and democracy. ❤️ Their families are especially on my mind.

This is a perfect time for a trip to Carmel-Monterey Bay as everything is blooming and the magic carpet in Pacific Grove is at its peak beauty!

The beautiful flowers in the charming towns and the on cottages make it such a treat to visit. We had a fun two days and I’ll do another little reel on our pretty hotel in Carmel Valley.

Have you been to Carmel in the springtime? It’s a bucket list item! 🌸

I splurged and bought myself this pretty planter for my favorite plant. This is from @beachwoodhome in Carmel which has beautiful things. It’s in the Carmel Plaza and I always love popping in there to see what’s new when I’m down there.

This plant is a peperomia plant which is so easy to keep alive! Yay. It loves to grow in cool shapes and needs just a few ice cubes here and there..

Hope you’re all having a good start to the week!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas and to all t

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas and to all those who mother and nuture! 💐I hope everyone is getting appreciated and spoiled today.. I spent some time at a lovely lunch with the family yesterday and am enjoying the garden today.. except for the hurricane winds!

I can’t wait until my youngest Griffin is back home for a bit from college. My favorite days are the ones when we are all together as a family again. I love being with Jackson and Griffin more than anything and they just make me laugh so much! I feel so lucky to have very kind sons …except they make me feel so short 🤣..and I couldn’t be prouder. 💛

On the blog today.. How to style white denim! I’m excited to partner with some lovely ladies today and we are all sharing our ways to wear the closet classic- white jeans!

I am showing what I’ve been wearing lately and some of my favorite pairs as well as a few cool options that have come on my radar! It’s all about finding what works for your body and choosing the right fabric etc..

Are you a white jean fan??

Do you love @rails beautiful California clothing?

Do you love @rails beautiful California clothing? I don’t know what your weekend plans are, but on Saturday the new Rails at Stanford is having a fun event with 20% off, light bites, and a little gift with purchase..

I’ll be there for a few hours to help you pull together looks for summer or shop for a Mother’s Day gift - maybe for yourself?

If you haven’t been to a Rails store, they are so inspiring and have the whole collection for women and men. It’s great to see the clothes up close and how gorgeous they are.

Please pop by if you are at Stanford Shopping Center and say hi! I would love to meet some of you. I’ll be there 11-12:30, but the event is on all day and the Rails team is so great!

Maybe a fun day out to shop with a friend or your mom and have lunch after at Stanford?

Looking forward to this and meeting some of you!
