Dear readers, I am so sorry for my absence but things have been a little crazy in our world. But I did want to pop on here and say HOLA from New Mexico!!!!
Every morning we take a nice chilly walk with our boys where we now have a residence in Santa Fe!!!!
We look out at the horizon to the mountains— a view that’s always made us feel deeply calm. Last summer, we took the plunge of having a house here in New Mexico, and it’s been exciting and so super stressful, super messy and blissful.

Lighter, brighter, and the place I want to spend all my time.
We’re all drawn to novelty—it’s human nature. The shiny and new all present opportunities for innovation, growth, and progress along the path forward. Of course, change doesn’t come without challenge. And this little Santa Fe home of ours was quite the challenge to fix up. Sometimes I think a full demo is easier than fixing something up! LOL.
Ricardo Legorreta love!
And Lin discovered a little sandy arroyo literally in our backyard at our Santa Fe house!
Getting SOOOO much closer !
Excited to be on a Sober Curious journey this year and possibly indefinitely!
Sober curious simply means that you’ve chosen to avoid alcohol for personal or wellness reasons. It involves curiosity about the reasons fueling your desire to drink and the way alcohol affects your life.

New Orleans holds a special place in my heart! It quickly became one of my favorite destinations after spending quite a bit of time in Louisiana traveling there for work when I was an Account Executive for Aveda.
The Crescent City is truly a magical place.
I really want to visit next year during Mardi Gras!
Why not think “outside the box” for Valentines?!! It doesn’t always have to be chocolate covered strawberries and champagne ! Plus the cocoa orange and cocoa mint mixed nuts from Isadore Nut Co. are so irresistible and taste even better than chocolates !! The cocoa mint taste just like thin mint cookies .. not even kidding!
In October, I gave you guys a little info on the Santa Fe home we purchased. The fact that it’s already so very special to us makes this renovation project that much more fun and we truly can’t wait to bring its full potential to life. So today, I’m going to share an overview of what exactly it is that we’re doing over at the new place.
Take a look here for what it looks like now when we purchased it…..
Bangs. The boldest fringe option on Le Menu after seeing the new season of Emily In Paris, no?!!
Once you go for the choppity chop-there’s no pinning or tucking that can hide it. It’s a very serious commitment. And it feels like everywhere I look, people are making it – or at least thinking about it!!
The last few years, I’ve come up with words that define my goals for the coming year rather than resolutions which I never seem to keep anyway.
Though the tradition has served me well, this year I’ve been challenging myself to delve a little deeper and really think about how I want to grow in 2023.
I just started rereading The Happiness Project. Have y’all read it?
Soooooo very good and incredibly apropos for this month of fresh starts.
Oh my sweet precious niece Riley Rose is even cuter in person !!!
Aunts provide stability and an escape from the day-to-day. Research refers to the aunt-niece relationship as “quasi-parenthood,” in that an aunt isn't the mother, but she does play a role in raising and shaping the life of her niece. Aunts serve as a safety net, a comforter, protector and supporter.
If you follow me on Instagram -you know I dropped news on quite a BIG secret I have been keeping! And if you have no clue what I am talking about…well, we did it !
We decided to purchase property in Santa Fe as a summer and holiday home for us for now. So say hola to our new little cozy high desert casa designed by Ricardo Legorreta! Legorreta was known for his cubic structures with stucco walls, usually painted in striking combinations of rich, earthy reds, sun-baked coppers and oranges, bright yellows, purples, and pinks.
The Bob Dylan Center here in Tulsa opens today and I am just over the moon!

These include handwritten lyric manuscripts to some of the world’s most treasured songs, previously unreleased recordings, never-before-seen film performances, rare and unseen photographs, visual art and other priceless items spanning Dylan’s unparalleled career as one of the world’s most important cultural figures.
Sundays are for long, lazy Sunday brunches. And Easter is no exception even if you are still not gathering with family and friends as we are still in a pandemic even though the world is blowing it off! While I will never ever tire of my beloved Overnight Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp and Stacked Breakfast Enchiladas, the ultimate Easter brunch called for something a little more elevated and French this year! But still keeping with the usual traditions and every Easter I make a carrot cake!!!

Take a closer look at your personal style. Chances are, an element or two in whatever ensemble you have now has been influenced by a social media personality. You might not want to admit it, but, as humans, we tend to be inspired by the content we consume—and there really shouldn’t be any shame in that!
So excited to be a guest on the @thebadassladiesclub pod and I hope you will give it a listen! 🎧
Sharing so much on this episode..
-Leaving an industry I was super established and successful in to pursue something new… the creation of Go French Yourself.
There is no truer love than that between human and pizza. And dearest beloved Pizzeria Delfina - Napoleon has perfectly written my feelings for you! I think of you every single day!!!! And wish you a very happy National Pizza Day ( of all the many pizzas I have had-you are by far the one that has my ❤️ )
Valentine’s Day is arguably one of my favorite holidays of the year, and if you agree, it probably has little to do with a significant other, and more to do with a love of love in general — for your partner and your besties-even your sweet kitties and pups!!! If you think of February 14th as a day to celebrate all of that, it’s pretty hard to resist its charms, which is precisely why I look forward to hosting a little Galentine’s Day luncheon with plenty of dessert for my Francophile bestie Brooke.
Relocating to Santa Fe, New Mexico, wasn’t just a change of scenery—it was a step into a vibrant world of history, art, and culture. From the moment I arrived, I knew I wanted to immerse myself in everything this city had to offer. One of the first steps I took was joining the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. It was a decision that has enriched my life in countless ways.
