Dreaming about summer travel today. My husband sna

Dreaming about summer travel today. My husband snapped this photo four years ago on a hot afternoon when we were traipsing through the winding paths of Positano. I was grumbly and hot and my feet hurt, but oh to go back to those lovely places... Someday I hope we can. I sure took all that freedom and covid free air for granted! Now I see all the packed trains and planes and wonder if we’ll ever get back to that? For sure it’ll be changed. Maybe things will be safer, cleaner..maybe we will wear masks as a regular thing? These are the things I ponder lately.

Hello a little meandering post today about those dog days of summer... plus isn’t this a great look? Sundress + mask 😷 it’s the Summer of 2020 look whether we like it or not, so why not try and make it chic? Some cute sale dresses, masks and outdoor rugs ( I know all over the place)- oh plus a good California road trip for you to take during this pandemic. Happy Saturday friends. Link in my bio.

My Tory Burch sandals from my weekend finds post came already and I just ordered on Saturday! They are very comfy- not stiff, and are still on sale if you like these. I think I’m going to wear them a lot. More about all the good finds on my last post - link in the bio. Hope you all have a beautiful day. ☀️

Had Griffin clean my windows yesterday and I feel so happy about it. ☀️ Paying family for labor has always been a win-win and I swear he’s better than a professional now. Also reminds me of my summers as a teen, doing odd jobs and things for a few bucks! 😎

Challenge accepted. Thank you @tracybilello @cindy

Challenge accepted. Thank you @tracybilello @cindyhattersley @classiccasualhome @kellyskittlesme @maisondecinq . I am fortunate to call you friends! ❤️ There are so many women here on Instagram who inspire me daily. The circle of support, kindness, and lifting up of each other here is amazing. I feel fortunate each day to be in the company of so many good people. Thank you to all of you for the kindness and caring you put out into the world every day! 🖤Please know as Rosemary @loveswitzerlandsnow has said so well below - this was begun as a way to draw attention to the plight of Turkish women who have been suffering. I just learned that sadly every day a photo of another woman who has been murdered is published in the newspaper. This is a way to bring awareness and help bring about change so if you can share that in your black and white photo it will help get more people aware of this if we all do so.

A short weekend blog post with a few goodies I’ve found this week -this @fahertybrand shirt dress I’m loving for late summer days, some great sandals on sale, the casual beach pants to live in, a body lotion for those bare legs and a few other fun things. Link in bio.

Today - my ‘California’ room on the blog. A visual timeline of this space-from old kitchen to extra unformed box and finally to something we can all enjoy and use! Stop on over to the blog to see the before and afters and the some of my inspirations for this little room and a few tricks that made it feel bigger than it really is. I’ve been calling it a den/media room, but I decided California room is cooler and kind of works! What do you think? Link in bio. 💙

Took my first ever watercolor class today via Zoom

Took my first ever watercolor class today via Zoom with the lovely @heidimichelle.artstudio ! My drawing skills are garbage, but it was fun learning how to shade and do color washes. Heidi is a great teacher and I can’t wait for next week’s class. It was my hour and a half of zen today. 😌.. Now back to the regular schedule of laundry and food production. Have any of you taken classes during this pandemic? I thought it would be a great time to try something new.

A quick trip to Santa Cruz for lunch and I also I found the prettiest plant and basket at @stripesantacruz - the cutest shop! I bought this dress a few months back at Target and finally wore it out somewhere.😃They still have it in stock if you need a white denim dress... Took my mask off for a quick photo with my plant 🌱 😎Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Summer bowls tonight with our own tomatoes and cucumbers. I’m sick of the same old dinners so I got a little creative. The whole dinner thing.. it just keeps happening you know? 😐

By the way this could go vegan if the chicken was removed - it’s there for my guys, but I don’t usually eat it.
