Weekend Round-Up

Weekend Roundup We are ecstatic with the little bits of rain we received this week. This week’s Weekend Round-Up will reflect that feeling with bits of early fall inspiration. It’s amazing how easy it is to be happy with a few raindrops outside. Let’s hope it keeps coming for us here in California. While travel […]

Custom Gifts | Lemonee on the Hills

Custom Gifts are one of my favorite ways to say thank you to someone.  They add the perfect touch to any thoughtful sentiments you have.  I discovered Lemonee on the Hills last spring and knew you all would love to know about her too.

It’s time to reconnect with friends and family we haven’t seen all summer.  I love to […]

The Simple Proof

Wunderlich County Park

Each year about this time with the kids back in school, our travel begins to settle down a bit. We spend more time exploring our local area and less time crossing the country.  Lucky for us, we get to live in a pretty amazing part of the world.  Northern California shines in the late summer […]
