Feels like spring is on the way today. 💛 All these bits of yellow things are brightening up my kitchen and it’s supposed to be in the 70’s today. I took a week off of Instagram and blogging and It has been nice. I hope you all are still out there. My son was off school and we also finished putting the last French door in the house. On the weekend I got down to Carmel for a couple of days. I caught up on reading and changed out a bunch of things in the house. Will blog more about it all this week. Did anyone else finish up Sanditon? I was not expecting that ending and I am not sure Jane Austen would have ended it that way, but it certainly was more realistic. Loved it though. ..Have a great week friends. Are you feeling the spring yet? #californiahousestyle #kitchenremodel #serenaandlily #yellow #february

Made this for the new front patio yesterday. So far I’m spending this break at home alone and it’s been great having time to myself listening to podcasts, reading, watching some Masterpiece, cleaning my closet out and spending time with my dear dad. Yesterday he and I enjoyed the day at a few garden centers and he gave me plant advice and I harassed him about Fox news- usual generational things. I treasure the time with him. Last pic is this time exactly one year ago and why I am not skiing with the boys up in Bend right now. I have slight fear of missing out, but this time so far has been super restorative with just myself at home and I highly recommend it. ..... #gardenlove #februaryincalifornia #winterbreaks

Enjoying the day with doors open wide with my sweet kitty girl. So happy we built this front patio and we went with French doors instead of windows! Unbelievably nice out today. ☀️ Hope you are all getting some sunshine wherever you are. #februaryincalifornia #californiahomedesign #northerncalifornia #mikemccloudconstruction

Happy Valentines! ❤️ A little post on the blog today about red- and some fashion discoveries I came across this week. It’s not just for Valentines and is a nice foil for the winter the wardrobe regulars. Tonight we made Valentine’s dinner for the guys and did our family tradition of chocolate fondue. So happy to be with all my guys tonight. 🥰 Hope you all have a beautiful weekend. #redfashion #redstyle #valentines

Guys it’s time for my annual Oscar Chat post so grab a coffee and head over to the blog - link in bio. A few of my favorites here and more chat about the show. What did you think? A bit slow without a host and not funny. Musical numbers were great and many beautiful dresses, but the Red Carpet show by ABC was terrible- fake and lame. I have to admit I’m sort of missing the old days of Joan Rivers and co. A bit boring. Everyone’s sharing comments on the blog and here. Tell me your favorites and feedback on the show. My favorite was Penelope Cruz and I loved Caitriona Balfe from Outlander and others. Brad was looking pretty good too..#oscars #oscars2020 #redcarpet #oscarredcarpet #redcarpetfashion #oscarstyle #caitrionabalfe #dianeandkeanu #dianekeaton #natalieportman #timotheechalamet #zaziebeetz #penelopecruz

Left this little throw outside to cover my succulents the other night and just seeing it out there with the plants makes me ready for spring. I’m loving these little footed planters I keep finding and Homegoods has a ton of these white pots right now. Yard has been weeded and I’m ready for the blossoms to come! Happy Friday guys. #californiastyle #northerncalifornia #homestyle #plantsofinstagram

I just had to post some pics of the best cat I’ve ever had. We had to say goodbye to Hobbes last weekend and it has broken my heart. Never was there a cat who loved his family more. I’m still getting over the shock of him not being here. I think our other cat is too. I know I should be happy we had him for almost 13 years, but I’ll never stop missing this guy. He was a supreme snuggler, a spooner and co-napper. I just hope he’s napping in a sunbeam somewhere in kitty heaven.
