This Solana Beach travel guide will help you plan the perfect day or two in this cute little SoCal town. Solana Beach is less than four square miles, but don’t let its size fool you. 😉 It’s a place you go to just be–to slow down, drink good coffee and craft beer, take a scenic…
Musings Summer is officially here, and June has been the best kind of busy. Things kicked off in Yosemite National Park at the beginning of the month and ended with my niece being born!!! I also squeezed in another quick trip to Chicago–there’s really nothing better than summer in the city. I love finding an…
Musings Each day since the school shooting in Uvalde, TX, feels so heavy, my movements slowed down like I’m wading through mud. What should take two minutes takes twenty.

Last year I went to the Caribbean for the first time, and this year I went back to experience another country. I spent 4 nights in the Bahamas with one of my very best friends. My 2nd Annual Caribbean Escape was a huge success, and I’m convinced I need to continue the tradition next year….
