Happy Friday! I’m not sure about you- but this week seemed to DRAG!!! I am thrilled it is the weekend and the last weekend of January! My most amazing friend, Asya, is the world’s best gift-giver. She always has the best, most unique gifts and her creativity is beyond what I will ever possess. For … More TGIF- fun finds
Greg is an avid road rider and I am not-so-avid but enjoy it! We have talked since getting the RV years ago that we should drive it to semi-local places to use it as a home base and ride new roads. While talking about it has been great- getting out there and doing it was … More Day Trippin’ – Solvang Cycling
One of the things I love about our new house is the fact that there are multiple living areas. Our old (much smaller!) home had a singular living area and it just felt…tight. Our new house has both a living and family room downstairs and I love the expanse of it all. Walking into our … More New Home Tour- Living Room
Happy Inauguration Week! I sure felt a weight lifted off my shoulders on Wednesday and I loved every moment of the inauguration ceremony for President Biden and VP Harris. Did you guys see the total love that each of them had for their families? The tears, the smiles, the embraces…that is what I have missed … More TGIF – fun finds
Molly Yeh is a joy. That’s it- just a joy. I recently discovered her on the Food Network’s Girl Meets Farm and I love her Midwestern recipes and peppy attitude. She makes incredible, “real” food that honors where she lives as well as her Jewish and Chinese heritage. I was visiting her blog the other … More Chocolate and Sea Salt Rugelach

Winter is in full swing…except in Southern California where our weather can’t seem to make up its mind. Cloudy and in the 50’s one day- then pushing 80° the next…. just make up your mind! I’ve been inundated with pictures from my friends and family in central Texas of the snowstorm they’ve been having and … More TGIF- fun finds
Sky-high biscuits, to me, are a sign of a good meal. I mean, you know they are light and fluffy, probably full of buttery goodness, and they are waiting to be topped with some concoction of amazing-ness. They are a blank slate for happiness. I have made plenty of biscuits in my day, but the … More Buttermilk Biscuits
The start of Winter Break had us all a little stir crazy (working and living in the exact same place will do that to you!) so we were eager to hit the road and find a safe, socially distanced adventure. Feeling the same way we were, our RV savvy friends invited us to join them … More RV Adventures- Lost Dutchman
Happy Friday! And more importantly- happy 2021!! The start of a new year is always so exciting and as I am getting ready to finish up a semester and start fresh with some new students, I am so hopeful for all that 2021 has coming. This holiday season brought a lot of resting and relaxing … More TGIF- fun finds
