Walnut Festival

The Walnut Festival is a tradition that I grew up with as a child. To me the Walnut Festival marked the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year, as I child I would go with my family as a teenager I would go with friends and now as a mother I take my child. Here we are years later and the Walnut Festival still marks the end of the summer and the beginning to a new school year, but I experience it in a new light. I watch through my child's eyes as he marvels at the carnival lights and watch the joy of him tasting the sweetness of the cotton candy or candy apple.

Girls Weekend

Calostoga, Ca. here we come!
What a relaxing weekend with my girls. We packed our bag with just the essentials, pj's, a nice dress and lots of wine! We all enjoyed a mud bath, massage and a facial, basically two hours of bliss. One of the many thing that I love about these girls, is that not only do they know how to relax and have a good time but they also know good food. The photos of the flowers are from the restaurant where we had brunch. The restaurant grew a majority of there own food or bought from local farms. It was a fabulous weekend.
