The horrific fires of 2017 will be forever talked about, years down the road. But as we Sonoma natives go on about our lives, whether we lost our homes, were displaced, or were spared we go on about our lives with the constant reminder from the smell of burnt wood and metal and the devastation that we see along the 101 and in neighborhoods that once were occupied by many, many families and…

I am so thrilled by how this program works! In just 20 days I lost ​over five total inches and 10 pounds.

I recently started the Beach Body program 21 Day Fix and I LOVE it! I love the Shakeology{I use the vegan chocolate} and I love the workouts.

Mexican-style Chicken Salad

Whole30 Approved

I love taco salads and could eat them all day long, everyday!

5 Sonoma Breweries Wine Lovers Should Visit

For as long as people have been drinking beer and wine, beer has been regarded the inferior beverage. Wine is “classy,” it takes time to craft and age, a refined palate to appreciate, and is often paired with fine food. Beer is less expensive, often comes in a can, and you can find it anywhere.
