A few weeks ago I had the best day of work… EVER! I had the opportunity to chaperone a field trip out to Santa Cruz Island, which is one of the Channel Islands right off the coast of Ventura.

Now that Spring Break is officially over and school is back in session, I want to take a moment to reflect on the most laid-back, relaxing vacation we have had in a long time!

Last weekend we decided to getaway, and meet some friends in Oceanside, CA for an amazing, RELAXING pre-Spring Break adventure.

It’s been a long year… and it was finally time to get away! What could be better than a getaway full of delicious food, lots of wine, and the best of friends?!?!

After an exhausting start to the school year, a chance to stay inside, enjoy the copious amounts of Southern California rain, and just relax was a welcome break! The reason for it being so mellow…well, … More Christmas 2021 Recap
The kickoff to the holiday season (or was that Halloween- I forget!) is in the books- and it was good food, family, and much needed relaxation. We started the week off with some serious downtime; getting caught up on work, sleep, and the little things around the house. We did make it up to the … More Thanksgiving 2021
Well – it is finally here! The last day of school before Thanksgiving break!!! It has been a slow climb to get here and I am so excited that we made it. Here’s to a week of rest and relaxation! I came across this photo on my IG feed and immediately sent it to Greg. … More TGIF – fun finds
