I have made no secret of my love of the month of November. It is by far our best month in the Bay Area, and there are so many things to enjoy. But I must admit, there are times when it’s already 11/30 and I don’t feel like I got as much out of November as I could have. So this year, I’m being intentional about enjoying this wonderful month.
Kate came for a visit recently, and I took the opportunity to book a terrific tour of Heath Ceramics in Sausalito. Dear Husband had grudgingly agreed to go with me when I suggested it. So he was happy to have my much more enthusiastic sister take his place 🙂
We are discovering new things all the time with our move to the Santa Ynez Valley. Â One great example of this is the farm stand at Finley Farms.
Kate and I did so many fun things during my recent trip to visit her and Steve. And a lot of them involved movement and health (the rest involved ice cream!) There was lots of walking, hiking and swimming, but my favorite might have been the outdoor yoga at Olde Oak Meadow Yoga.
We did some fun things during my recent visit to see Kate and Steve- some new things, which I really enjoy doing. So when Kate asked if I was interested in checking out nearby Los Alamos, I jumped at the chance.
I am not a fan of August, as you can tell from the title of this post! And I am not alone in this sentiment; many others can’t stand the worst month of the year either. But alas, it’s not going anywhere, so I’ve thought of some tips for surviving August. Maybe even love it? No way in hell. (Because August feels like hell, let’s be honest.)
We are entering the peak farmers’ market season in Northern California. And one of the first signs is the arrival of the cherries at the Moraga Farmers’ Market. I like to stop by the local farmers’ markets at least every few weeks. But in the summer, I try to make it a weekly stop- especially the Sunday Moraga Farmers’ Market.
Note to readers: Kate and I are about to hit our three year anniversary of our blog- and this is our 401st blog post! Who knew we had so much to write about 🙂 I’m renewing my subscription with Blue Host for another three years (yikes!) so I guess we’ll keep going until we don’t have anything else to say. I hope you guys are enjoying hearing what we are up to. It’s been fun to have something new during and post pandemic. Here’s to three more years! 🙂
One year ago today, Kate and I published our first blog post- all about my efforts to create our at-home gym after our local gym closed due to the pandemic. And here we are a year later- the one year anniversary of our blog! It’s been a really fun journey, and I hope we are just getting started.
Dear Husband and I recently spent three wonderful days in Tomales Bay. And one of the highlights was staying at Nick’s Cove in Marshall, CA. It’s a great hotel in Tomales Bay, plus they take dogs! So we packed up the car with our gear, as well as Cheddar’s, and headed out for three days.
I’ve written about our Marin day trips over the past few years, but this is the first time I’ve ever spent three days in Tomales Bay. And it was terrific! I’ve got some tips for things to do and where to eat- and I’ll follow up with a post on the great hotel where we stayed for two nights.
