We have 2 beautiful little girls!
Kate is 3 and one of the sweetest little girls I know!

I am a California girl, born & raised!
I love coffee, photography, pedicures & wine.
I stay up WAY too late every night.
I am a procrastinator...we are moving in 3 days & instead of packing, I am blogging!
My family & friends mean the world to me.
I love to cook & I post some of my favorite recipes here on my blog!
Most of all I love Jesus & I am thankful for the life he has blessed me with.
