Since we recently moved to Orange County, I’ve been wanting to find local high tea places since high tea is my thing! A friend recommended Whip which recently opened within the past year so I went to check it out. … Continue reading Whip Dessert & Cafe
Originally we weren’t going to do a babymoon because we went to Hawaii last year which was kind of a babymoon in that it was a time to celebrating just being together the two of us. But a friend recommended using Chase points to stay “locally” at that Alila Ventana in Big Sur – we could drive there, it is all inclusive AND adults only so if we were going to go, now is the time! Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne because we were also celebrating our 6 year dating anniversary so the husband and daddy to be … Continue reading Babymoon

I’m playing massive catch up on my blog because to be real honest, last year was hard. So now that I’m in a much better place mentally, I can sit down and write about all the things 🙂 let’s rewind to last October, it’s autumn and like I mentioned, I was definitely in a funk. Our dear friends L and J, were trying to keep our spirits up and took us to the cutest pumpkin patch in Orange County. There were quite a few families around picking out the perfect pumpkin for craving. They had some food and a train … Continue reading Pumpkin Patch
This past weekend was my friend’s bachelorette and it was a weekend of relaxation – we had a soundbath, yoga and pool time with lots of yummy eats! We started the weekend with massages in house – strongly recommend and they come to you! They also offer facials, but I got my first prenatal massage and Genie was a miracle worker. I’m midway through my pregnancy and my lower back has been hurting with the new weight gain and just organs shifting around. We had 3 masseuses and 1 facialists as we had 8 girls getting massages and 2 girls … Continue reading Angie’s Bachelorette
In July, we got to visit Boston where my brother and sister in law moved to. I was excited to see their new life and visit as a tourist (I used to go once a year to work a baby … Continue reading Boston 2022
I always said my blog would be about things that made me happy like high tea and places I’ve traveled, but overtime it became random musings like about diaper bags and thoughts I have on the airplane with MOST of them being in the tone of joy. However since pandemic, my blogs have been a little more…somber? And maybe that comes with getting older and more life coming at me so just want to say thank you for continually supporting me as we do this life thing – good and bad. When the miscarriage happened and even the few months … Continue reading Life after Miscarriage
