Baby Clinton is 4 months old and my husband and I decided to take some time for ourselves.

My labor was 2 and a ½ days! If you’ve been there you know what that feels like. And for those of you who have not, it’s a total adrenaline rush mixed with pain mixed with pure joy and then after that all wears off its exhaustion. And I mean the type of exhaustion that you don’t get a break from for weeks and months. If you haven't gone through birth yet I don’t mean to scare you, it’s totally worth it. P…

This week we come together as a Nation to celebrate Thanksgiving. To me this time of the year is magical.  We begin the month with honoring our veterans and then we come together and celebrate thanks, and this is the introduction to the holiday season. Depending on where you reside in the country for some you are getting your first snowfall, and for others, it is the first breath of fresh air from the summer heat, regardless the seasons have changed. I love seeing the holiday lights being hung o…

I am completely in love with this OTS “off the shoulder” crop top by Kendall + Kylie. The OTS look has been in trend for the last couple of seasons and it continues to pull through for Fall and Holiday 2016. In case you are worried about the girls, I did not need to wear a bra but the choice is yours.

There is always good news.

I have to be honest when I first heard this comment; I was thinking okay great, whatever and thanks for the support but I don't really see the good news. A very important man in my life lives by these words. Bill is my lover, my best friend and a very positive influence on me and my life. Bill is always smiling and has the best day ever... every day. So now I have grown to understand what he means when he says, “there is always good news.” You see, even when there is …

Turquoise, Pink Bougainvillea, and The White Assali Dress

As you know, I love the desert. Yes, it is hot but as a woman to be able to wear summer clothes and not be cold does not happen often. Living in San Diego, we have the perfect weather but as soon as the sun goes down or if we are in the shade, and a little breeze picks up we need something to cover our shoulders. Now I realize this is a champagne problem, and I hope you understand I am not complaining at all. My point is in San Diego we …

I am the good fat!!!

  I have a love affair with avocados. Living in San Diego, we are so lucky to be adjacent to the avocado capital, Fallbrook so that we can buy them year round for about $5.00 a bag. I love their creamy, nutty taste that goes with just about anything from a good sandwich to garnish on a bowl of chili. Besides the yummy taste did you know they are incredibly nutritious and have some surprising benefits like making you look good and even improving your sex life? Yep that is co…
