For over 100 years, since President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday in 1914, Americans have been celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. It’s fitting that a special day be set aside to honor and extol some of the most important people in our lives - our mothers, grandmothers, aunt, and sisters. In my family, our favorite way to celebrate is to gather together around the table for a simple, yet delicious Mother’s Day brunch. Taking the time to reconnect with each ... continue reading...

Eclectic Home Tour {part one}
Less than a year ago, my life looked completely different. It was wonderful in its own way, but it was filled with certainty, rhythms and the ocean breeze. One moment, however, profoundly shifted things in my world, and I uprooted from California to become an active participant in this ongoing whimsical moment.
