Berkeley, California is a city known for its innovative food, love of upsetting the status quo, and of course outstanding academics. I still can’t believe that it took me so long to visit Berkeley, but when I finally did, what a perfect day trip it ended up being. Here is my idea of the perfect [...]
Pin ItIf You Could Live Anywhere
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? This is a question that’s been floating around my house lately. Thanks to two restless parents and a curious nature I can’t seem to avoid, I’ve lived in a lot of places, but 10 years ago, I made the decision to settle in Sacramento, California. Why? [...]
Earth Day: Respect for all creatures
I wish I could tell you that I drive an electric car, have solar panels on my home, and eat only organic, locally-grown produce. I can’t, but I can talk about how we have made some choices to raise our children to be sustainable citizens. On this very busy Earth Day, I would love to [...]

It’s a small section of California coast north of San Francisco. It is wild, the kind of nature and beauty where you feel more like an intruder than [...]

The Colors of Travel
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that one of the things I love most about the world is its colors. In the midst of this drizzly, windy weather here in Northern California, I couldn’t miss the theme “colorful” for this week’s #FriFotos, the weekly photo series on Twitter. Because the world is such a [...]
