summer night party inspired by The Rolling Stones 'Paint it Black'I'm SO ready for summer!!  I mean, we really didn't have a winter this year but still.  Don't long, warm days sound fantastic?  There is something about a warm, sunny day that makes me immediately turn on classic rock.  I think I grew up in the wrong time period.    Gah, the music and fashion?!  LOVE!  So as I was sitting on the computer the other day, as close to a window as I could without actually being outside so I could still see the computer screen, The Rolling Stones ‘Paint it Black' came on.  Boom.  Such a good song (is that a sitar?  One of my kids is probably going to have to learn how to play that).  A little dark maybe but perfect for outdoor entertaining at dusk.  All you need is a rustic wood table, some great vintage glassware, simple flowers and candles and pretty girls in hippie clothes.  I think my summer entertaining is going to be all about ease and going with the flow.  No stress.  Last minute invites to keep myself from over thinking everything.  Maybe trying out new cocktails or recipes but not getting worked up if they don't work out.  Anyone think I can pull that off?  Maybe with a lot of rose…

I feel like we won Christmas this year. This is the earliest we've gotten our tree and now our house is full of holiday magic.🎄 ⠀ @chevrolet loaned us a Silverado for the week so we could go have a Christmas family adventure. We visited our first cut-your-own tree farm and I'm sharing where you can visit in LA and OC!🎄 Plus, find my tips for how to get your Christmas tree home. Whether you cut your own or get one from a lot, there are a few things you need to do!🎄 We truly loved getting to know the 2019 Silverado. Head to the blog to find out why, grab the list of tree farms and find out how to safely bring that tree home! Use the link in my bio! 🎄

I didn’t know I was a truck girl. But I’m totally a truck girl. @chevrolet loaned us a 2019 Silverado for the week and my whole family is in love. It takes forever to get anywhere though. Every time we park the boys take a few minutes to exert their dominance over the parking lot (see my stories). The Silverado is going on all of our Christmas lists. 🙌🏻🎄🙏 #Silverado #chevrolet #chevroletsilverado

Need a family activity to do while you wait for the turkey? Interview your family! sponsored ⠀ A few months ago I headed to the @gpneighborhoods to interview my best friend with @storiesfromtheoc and @storycorps. The conversation is archived in the Library of Congress. And now you can record interviews with the Story Corps app from your own home! It's the perfect Thanksgiving activity! You can talk about any topic you want but I love the idea of talking about how family traditions got started. Use the links in my bio to find the Story Corps app and hear my recording! #StoriesFromtheOC #StoryCorps
