Because it was just time for something pretty. These California Poppies are our state flower, and now is the time they cover hillsides, fields and freeway dividers the entire length of the state. Growing up, I would walk in the hills near our house and lay down in fields of poppies, just listening to the birds and the wind. We caught these sweet blooms in Sonoma the other day, and they are as brilliant as ever. Happy Spring!

Bloodies at the beach. Need we say more? Well, this college tour with Ava requires some level of fortification. 😁

Bright and early on the 18th green at Pebble Beach

Bright and early on the 18th green at Pebble Beach Golf Links. And it’s chiiiiillllly out here! Before you ask, no I’m not a golfer. Actually I’m the kind of golfer that breaks windows and sends people running for cover. I can hit the ball, and I can hit it far, but with zero control over where it goes. Actually I was here last week producing a TV spot for @seemonterey and wow is Monterey County gorgeous. We caught some amazing footage in Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Cannery Row and of course the iconic Pebble Beach. If you’re up for a visit, they are ready to welcome you safely. And you don’t even have to get up at 5:30am to enjoy its beauty!

Spring is sprunging! The weather is warmer, birds

Spring is sprunging! The weather is warmer, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and love is in the air even after nearly 24 years together. Heading up the California Coast to tour colleges with our youngest and stopped for the night at the gorgeous @langhampasadena. Last time I was here it was crowded with bloggers for a conference and right now the hotel is just beginning to welcome guests again. Good thing because this place is just stunning.

I created this recipe for Monte Cristo with a Twis

I created this recipe for Monte Cristo with a Twist-O because sometimes our family is just extra. #ad No classic Monte Cristo for us – we’ve got to take it up a notch. We’re huge fans of @kingshawaiian Original Sweet Sliced Bread and buy it regularly on our weekly trips to Target. This sandwich just tastes better made with a loaf of this delicious, soft sliced bread. This melted sandwich itself is a little decadent –bacon, Gruyere cheese, pickled jalapeños and more, soaked in egg batter and then fried to a crispy golden outside. Inside, the cheese gets all melty and the egg mixture turns all custardy. Mmmmmmmmm yum – perfect for a chilly day or night at home. You’ve got to run over to Target for some King's Hawaiian Bread and try this recipe on the blog! #KingsHawaiian #IC #KingsHawaiianMelts #TheBreadtoMeltOver

Putting two kids through college at the same time

Putting two kids through college at the same time is a daunting process, and frankly the financial considerations are very real. I mean, we saved for their college tuition but wow do those costs add up! #ad We were so blown away when we found out about Raise.Me because this site is designed to help high school students earn scholarships from colleges for their achievements starting in 9th grade! 9TH GRADE! I sat down with Ava as she signed up and started filling out some of her information on the RaiseMe website, and no joke the website calculator showed us she had earned more than $6,000 in potential scholarship money in less than 15 minutes. Why did we not know about this sooner?!?!?

RaiseMe works with colleges to reward students with scholarships for their achievements. Things like grades, leadership positions, extra-curricular activities, even work experience all add up to real dollars from colleges all across the country. I sat there with her and watched the dollars grow on the @raise.me real-time scholarship calculator, and it was amazing to see how much merit scholarship dollars she could receive. Yes, RaiseMe sponsored us to talk about this but I would honestly sing their praises regardless of showing us it might be possible for Ava to attend schools we worried we might not afford. That is such a huge deal for students and families from any walk of life! #RaiseMe #RaiseMeScholarships #RaiseForCollege
