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

Print it, Pin it, Save in your photos.  It’s the perfect little reference for the next time you find yourself in the beautiful Sonoma Valley.

And just like that, it’s SPRING! CHEERS! Well, officially this Saturday. To say I am excited for the season change is an understatement.  I’m sure you’re sick of hearing me talk about it…HA!!  Spring always seems to be the season we wait the longest for. 

The shift from Winter to Spring always leaves me feeling super inspired too.  Always craving to create + explore after the Winter/Covid blues (which is a legit real thing).  I think we all, mentally NEED Spring..lol.  Everything seems to suddenly come to life!!! Including myself.
