Depending on how you look at it, buying a new house without a finished backyard can either be a blessing or a curse. I have experienced a variety of feelings about this space; most of which were largely negative until we actually poured some concrete back there. Spending six months wiping dirt off our dogs paws every [...] Related posts:

TGIF. I know I can’t be the only one thinking that right now. Even though I am on hiatus from both work and blogging, it seems like my days are busier now than they have ever been. Even now as I peck at the keyboard with one hand, I am rocking a sleeping babe in [...] Related posts:

I have to admit that the obliteration of Cochella/Stage Coach Instagram pictures over the past few weeks definitely had me craving the dry sunshine of Palm Springs. Sure, the weather’s been pretty good in San Diego but you can’t beat april weather in Palm Springs. The city’s broad selection of unique boutique hotels is definitely one of [...] Related posts:
