What’s the most beautiful place you’ve seen in the world? Out of all the places we’ve adventured so far in this world, we think this place is the most spatular. We drove here, Banff Canada, at the end of a month long road trip almost from coast to coast in the US and then into Canada. It was a bonding experience for us. Lake Louise and Lake Moraine in Banff was the highlight of the trip. We only spent a couple days there and we often talk about plans to go back again. We

“You shouldn’t represent God, having those ear piercings and wearing shorts,” he said to me. Let me explain... A blind man was asking if he could be helped across the street. To be honest, I walked by him and got part way down the block before the burning in my heart spurred me to turn around and help. My initial thought was, I have a busy day and errands to run, but God cares more about people than errands I remembered. As I helped the blind man across the street, I asked

Little mermaid 🧜‍♀️ was one of my favorite movies growing up, and swimming with seals/sea lions in the coves of La Jolla is one of my very favorite things to do. I love looking at all the fish below me, and watching the sea lions swim right under me. I was on the swim team from the time I was 6 through High School. I taught swim lessons, was a swim coach, and lifeguard for years. Growing up I think I might have been in the water more than out of the water in the summers.

My favorite date for the fall is the apple farm. Its the best getaway from busy Los Angeles to a beautiful place in the mountains. I’d been looking at their website for when they’d open and asking Caleb about it everyday. This Sunday he took me on a sweet picnic at the apple farm after a hike at Griffith park and Church. We ate candy apples and walked around the trails. I felt so comfy and cute in my new outfit from @shopreddress. It’s my favorite fall outfit so far! I can’t

There’s nothing like feeling fresh and clean... am I right?! Living in Southern California, we have so many different opportunities right at our fingertips. We have the beach, mountains, Hollywood, the Desert, Disneyland, San Diego. Its crazy how many things we have the opportunity to take part in. We always are on the go, finding something else to do and somewhere else to go. And feeling clean and fresh is a must after an adventure day. That is why it has been amazing to p

Relationships have the capacity to add so much joy and value to life or steal energy and happiness. Our relationship is SO far from perfect, but wow is it better than I could have been. To be honest, I used to be absolutely horrible at relationships. So much so that I go dumped on Valentines Day by my ex-fiancé & the wedding was already planned and paid for. I made it my mission after that to become a relationship expert. So I could be a better wife in the future (and even ha

Sometimes trying on clothes can be frustrating. You find nothing that fits, or the style really is not something that suits your personality or style. I know that I can feel this way. But honestly, I had the best time trying on some of my new favorite outfits from @shopreddress.  If you missed it, I put it under my style highlights. Red Dress is one of my favorite stores. We first found Red Dress while watching one of our favorite shows, Shark Tank. We fell in love with the

Have you ever thrown something away too hastily? In an effort to keep things clean around our place I’ve done this my fair share. The time I put clothes I wanted have in storage (seasonal clothes) right next to the donation bag and Caleb took both to be donated. He so lovingly dug threw piles of donated clothes hours later to find the seasonal clothes I wanted to keep. The times I’ve had to dig through my trash because I threw out a nice fork while cleaning up a plate. Or whe

There is something magical about the sunrise that always makes us go back for more. Aside from he obvious benefits of getting your day started, no traffic, and basically the whole world to yourself at that hour, sunrise is one of the most beautiful parts of the day. We love traveling to new places, and in Southern California, you have to be willing to get up early if you want any chance of truly experiencing something on your own or with little amounts of people around. Our

He looked at me funny after I got on the scale. I knew the numbers showing were considerably more than 3 years ago when I had visited the doctors office, he was the same nurse that saw me then and had my records in his hands.  I consciously filled my mind with the truth I’ve been practicing for years to take out the old thoughts that used to so quickly fill my mind. Replacing toxic thoughts “you’re body isn’t good enough” “you’re only worthy if you’re under X amount of pounds
