Unlocking the Secret of Tarantula Sightings: Tips for a Successful Encounter in California’s Scenic Parks

We recently embarked on a unique family adventure, taking the kids up to Henry Coe State Park to witness a fascinating natural phenomenon—tarantula mating season. Yes, tarantulas—the big, hairy spiders…

Greece definitely needs no trending audio. I was just thinking that six months ago today I was laying on the beaches of Naxos. Take me back!
I’m currently trying to figure out where we are going this summer. I’m also starting to realize that Greece might be hard to beat. Have you started thinking about summer travels yet?
I have our full 12-day Greece itinerary up on the blog now if you want to check it out. #greece #greecesummer #naxos #santorini #athens #travelgreece #familytravel #europeansummer #wanderlust

My ❤️ is with Los Angeles. LA was my home for nearly a decade, and I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t try to convince my husband to move back down there.

I’m absolutely heartbroken to see what the fires have done and are still doing to these communities. For the last few days I’ve been glued to the tv and social media watching these events unfold. I’ve also been trying to figure out ways to help in any way that I can. Here are just a couple of places that I found to donate to help victims, both big and small. I just thought I’d share just in case anyone else is wondering how they can help. I also put the direct links in my bio. ❤️ #losangeles

Just popping on to say hi. 👋 It’s been pretty uneventful around here and I really don’t have anything exciting to post about. So I just wanted to say hello and see how your first week of 2025 has been? #hello

Happy 2025! We decided to start the year off with a New Year’s Day hike. I don’t know about you, but I was more than ready to say goodbye to 2024; it was a challenging year to say the least. May 2025 bring us all good health, joy and prosperity! #happynewyear

The holidays don’t have to be perfect. Everything doesn’t have to be exactly how it was the year before. It’s ok to cut corners. It’s ok if everything doesn’t fall exactly into place how you imagined it would.
These are all the things I keep telling myself repeatedly this Christmas season. Most years I can get it all done, this year I can’t. And it is ok. Accepting that everything is not going to be how I expected it to be is helping me get through this next week or so without wearing myself out. For me, it started with cookie dough. Of course I love making homemade cookies, but this year I needed a little help from Pillsbury. And guess what?! The kids appreciated and loved them just the same. This is just a little reminder to take some time for you and give yourself a little grace this Christmas season. It will all be ok. 🎄#momlife #momlifebelike #momlifebestlife #christmastime #christmascrazy @pillsburybaking

Just a few of our favorite places we ate on Oahu. Each of these places were reasonably priced, and the food was delicious.

I had always wanted to visit the Hawaii during the Christmas season. I was pleasantly surprised to find holiday decorations up, and festivities in full swing while we were there in late November. 🥰🎄🌴 #melekalikimaka #hawaiichristmas #hawaii #oahu #waikiki #waikikibeach #christmasinhawaii #merrychristmas

These holiday arches are an easy and inexpensive diy to add some extra cheer to the holiday season.
They are made with PVC pipes and rebar. We use these same arches to build our Halloween tunnel. We keep them up and festive throughout the holiday season with Christmas lights. I have the full supply list and instructions on Staying Blonde. Link in bio. #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmasdecorating #christmasarches #diychristmasdecor #diychristmasdecorations
