Welcome, Autumn! My favorite season of the year is finally here – autumn. The air is beginning to get crisp as the days grow shorter. Soon we will be getting out our coziest sweaters and socks and sipping tea and cocoa while reading a book by the fire (or, in my case, faux fireplace). It…… Continue reading Autumn Strolls {September 2020}
The forest is a place of pure magic for me. It is where’s I find my calm, my inspiration, and it is home to so many amazing plants and animals. It is where I find that my soul is happiest. As John Muir, author and naturalist, once said, “Come to the woods, for here is…… Continue reading Forest + Funghi {January 2020}
Happy new year, everyone! It’s officially the first weekend of 2020, and I am so excited about it! We usually hike on the first of the year, but we had a much-needed restful day at home. So, with the first Saturday of the year, we packed a lunch and headed down to Big Sur with…… Continue reading Hike More, Worry Less {Big Sur 1/2020}
Hello all! How is it almost Halloween already?! This year really seems to have flown by, but this is just the beginning of my favorite time of year: there are pumpkins and costumes and candy to come so, so soon – then comes my birthday and Thanksgiving, and I do love to cook – followed…… Continue reading Pumpkin Farm {2019}
Hello friends! A few weekends ago, I set out for a hike with my husband and one of my lifelong friends. Our goal was to hike to Berry Creek Falls in Big Basin State Park, Boulder Creek, California. We were set to start out at Waddell Beach, just north of Davenport, and hike the 12…… Continue reading Skyline to the Sea Trail {Adventures}
Happy New Year! 2019 is here! I know I’m a day late posting about this, but I was soaking in my last full day with my fiancé before he had to go back to work. We had a wonderful last day of 2018 – we went for a 5 mile hike, got sushi for dinner,…… Continue reading Welcome, 2019!
Thanksgiving may be over this year (which I cannot believe I’m typing… where did 2018 go?! Like, seriously?!), but we do our best to practice thankfulness and gratefulness in our house year round. My fiancé and I do our best to always notice when the other is being particularly helpful and show our gratefulness. We…… Continue reading Giving Thanks
This Easter, we went for a hike in Armstrong Woods State Park in Guerneville, California. It’s quite a gem tucked away in a small woodsy town on the Russian River in Sonoma County, about 30 minutes west of Santa Rosa. It’s truly a magical place; right when you enter the park, it is green and…… Continue reading Spring in the Woods {Adventures}
Pumpkins, scarves, and falling leaves… oh my! Autumn is my favorite time of year, and for good reason – I am an Autumn baby, after all. My birthday isn’t until November, though, so we’re still focusing on Halloween festivities! This month, we’ve watched several Halloween movies, made pumpkin spice bread, drank Maple Pecan lattes, went…… Continue reading Welcoming Autumn
Last weekend, my love and I made the short trek up into San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park so we could go somewhere I hadn’t been since childhood: The Conservatory of Flowers. It was like stepping into a tropical greenhouse wonderland, and I am now even more obsessed with bringing more greenery into our little home.…… Continue reading Greenhouse Wonderland
