{sonoma | mother + daughter weekend}

Posted in Adventure, California, Cool spots, Decor, foodie, mom & me, travel, weekend, Wine, Wine Tasting by

When most people think of Sonoma County, they think of wine. I used to, too. But there are things to do in this part of Northern California beyond the vineyards, and Bay and I spent 36 hours here and discovered a lot of them.

An hour and 5 minute driver from our house to Sonoma Square.  Basically Napa’s little sister.  Wayyy more laid-back and local.  After our Paris trip, I’ve realized, I’m obsessed with the Parisian style.  Who knew Sonoma gave all those vibes I was missing.

Before I get started on ALL THE THINGS we LOVED over our 36 hour stay.  Let me share an easy “printable” Top 3’s Sonoma

You guys, I stumbled on a Cup of Joe blog post titled: What’s The Most Beautiful Place You’ve Ever Seen?

I don’t want to admit how much time of my day I spent reading the comments on this post. It’s hands down one of the most dreamy threads I’ve ever been stuck on. Day dreaming. Wanderlust. All the new places I MUST go and MUST see. They way people describe these destinations is unreal.

If you have a lot of time to kill – Read it here: Comment Section

It got me thinking…..

Where is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been?

It’s a toss up. Other than Mexico, I have never left the country. Sad, right? But I have seen some places right here in the US that blew my damn mind.

I left my heart in San Francisco 🎶
A day in the Bay with my Baes ❤️

Ocean Beach. Sutro Baths. Union Square. Chinatown and the Marina. We hit all our favorite spots in the city. It was a fun weekend.

Somehow I woke up pumped to start the week. Here’s to making a new routine.

Intentions for the Week:

  • Finalize Holiday Cards (last year I didn’t send any out)
  • Figure out the new Weight Watchers plans
  • Try a new air fryer recipe
  • Deck the halls
  • Have Bay Bake something fun + festive for the blog
  • Pick up everything for my Christmas Table (velvet ribbon is hard to find)
  • Grab a coffee and walk the arboretum on a lunch break
  • Delete old photos from my phone
  • Find a fun Christmas pillow for my bed (I’m decorating my room too…lol)

This week on the blog: I’ll be sharing some sale finds. Dedicating a whole post to Bay’s new GreeLight debit card, because it’s that good. I have an Old Navy Try-On, because I keep popping in and finding new + cute things. I have a green jacket styled 4 ways that will be coming too!

Highlights from the weekend…..
