Spring Break Pismo Beach | May 10 on 10

Last month during spring break, we rented a beach house near Pismo Beach.  It was our first time staying in this area and it was lovely.  We picked Pismo because we wanted to tour Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (our daughter is a Junior) and check out a new beach area.  We love vacationing on the coast and we are so lucky to have a wonderful array of beaches to choose from.

If you have never been to Pismo Beach it is worth the trip but there are a few things to keep in mind.  First off, it is one of the few beaches in California where cars can drive on the beach.  ATV’s and dune buggies are very popular in this area because of the large dunes just south of Pismo and that seems to be the main reason people flock to this area.  So it is not uncommon to see trucks and RV’s pulling these toys down the beach.  At first, I found that aspect a bit bothersome but then we got used to it.  Thankfully, there are regulations and cars can’t drive near the beach houses but it was weird to seeing so many vehicles on these otherwise lovely beaches.

The other thing to note about this area, is it is super windy.  I noticed many of the homes had windbreaks or shields along their patios to keep the sand from blowing in but the wind did seem to die down in the afternoon.

Anyway, we had a great time.  My parents joined us for the trip and we all enjoyed relaxing on the beach.   Our week was filled with college tours, trips to the farmer’s market,  ATVing, wine tasting, flying kites and enjoying the gorgeous view.  After you’ve had a chance to scroll through these images, please continue through our blog circle starting with the always gorgeous photos from Kim Bajorek.

Change is hard… but it’s also really good.

After years in Silicon Valley, we made the move to wine country—and it already feels like exactly where we are meant to be. Slower mornings, more space, and a chance to breathe a little deeper.

One thing that pushed us to make the leap was the unexpected loss of a dear friend. Her passing was a heartbreaking reminder that life is short. We don’t always get “someday.”

So here’s your nudge from me: whatever’s on your heart, just do it. Don’t wait. Life is meant to be lived. 💕

Cheers to new chapters, more beauty, and saying yes. 🍷🍇🍷

I should be packing for our move…

But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!

Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?

Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……

We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅

But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇

I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.

My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”

So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷
