Bloom Where You Are Planted

Posted on December 17, 2020December 17, 2020by Katie

It’s hard to believe that for three quarters of this year we have been in some sort of lockdown. And that after many months of what felt like baby steps towards progress and reopening, that here in California we are basically back to square one with our emergency stay at home orders. To say that […]

St. Nick Stockings + Getting Ready for Baby

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020by Katie

Saturday / Our days have felt especially blurred together these past few weeks and months. Partially I’m sure because of this new pandemic life where we mostly spend all of our time at home. And partially also with being pregnant, and finding my baby prep to-do list only increasing most days. There have been plenty […]

A Special Treat + the Small Things

Posted on September 5, 2020September 5, 2020by Katie

Probably similar to most all of us right now, the days still seem to blend into the weeks, and even into the months. Have we really been in this pandemic and this quarantine lifestyle for almost six months now? Sadly we have been. Life is definitely still very different. Our weeks are far quieter than […]

Life Is a Balancing Act

Posted on August 18, 2020August 18, 2020by Katie

My Mom always used to say to me that life is a balancing act. In fact, it is still something that I hear from her from time to time. And she’s spot on, because life really is a balancing act. And lately, I don’t want to say that life has been out of balance, but […]

Taking Some Time

Posted on February 11, 2020February 11, 2020by Katie

The truth is that I probably started out this New Year just like most of us do. . .guns blazing, big ideas, big dreams, big goals. . .you know the drill. And then probably like a good chunk of people out there, things sort of petered out before they ever really began. For whatever reason, […]

Chugging Along

Posted on December 1, 2016December 1, 2016by Katie

I’m almost 2 months into my 101 in 1001 (yikes! time flies by fast), and actually I am doing pretty well with my list.  The funny thing about creating this list of 101 goals, is that I actually forgot about a bunch of the things that I put on it.  Different family and friends have […]

Well if it wasn't 2020, then our view would look v Well if it wasn't 2020, then our view would look very different right now. . .think a snow covered forest, a crackling fire, and lots of family snuggles â˜šī¸ This year has definitely brought its fair share of challenges - and being away from our families has easily topped that list. . .but, we're just going to keep focusing our energy on all of our blessings + the gratitude in our hearts that a New Year and lots of new beautiful energy is just around the corner đŸĨ° And that is also my wish for you all as we approach Christmas and the New Year - an abundance of blessings, and a heart filled with gratitude!

I think that like a lot of you, this Christmas sea I think that like a lot of you, this Christmas season has felt really different, a little strange, and sadly a little less festive than usual.  Unfortunately we've been stuck at home again + are really missing getting to be with family and all of the joy that brings us (and snow!) 🎄 So we cranked up the Christmas tunes and decided to bake some sugar cookies this afternoon to get more into the spirit!  What have you been doing to spread that Christmas spirit lately?

After some of your great suggestions on things to After some of your great suggestions on things to do / enjoy before baby arrives, we decided to drive up the coast yesterday morning and hang around Encinitas.  We don't normally head that far North for the beach, but Lord knows we definitely won't once baby is here đŸ¤Ē We got some delicious coffee from @ironsmithcoffee, we tried the famous Leucadia Donut Shoppe donuts, and we walked all over town.  What kind of weekend did you enjoy?
