Living on the Central Coast boasts many benefits. One of the best benefits is that it’s a short, beautiful road trip to Big Sur, CA. If you’ve ever been to Big Sur, coming from the North or the South, you know the drive is part of the journey and some of the best finds are stopping for photo ops or beach explorations.

Little Christmas Details
Hello Darlings! Last time I wrote was post-Thanksgiving…Oopsy. Since then I have come and gone to Tulum, Mexico, which was perfect and I will post about it soon. But since Christmas is RIGHT around the corner, I thought I would share some Christmas touches around my house as well as my cards I decided to do this year. Continue reading
Fair Fun
Nothing says summer like a trip to your State or local County fair! This past weekend, the California Mid-State Fair wrapped up it’s 69th year running. Although I’ve only attended it the past 4 years, this fair is always a wide-spread, event filled, bag o’ fun! I have tried to make it a point to go every year that I have lived on the Central Coast. Aside from getting a fill of country, boot-wearing fun, it always provides good laughs, plenty of people watching, and special memories. Continue reading

Easter
Happy Easter friends and family! Growing up, Easter always yielded fond memories from sneaking first peaks of any visible eggs I could see out the windows to hopefully one-up my brother in the much-anticipated hunt to wearing pretty, pink, flowery outfits put together by my mother. I always loved our day of traditional breakfast, Easter egg hunts, Easter basket goodness, and being together enjoying Spring. Continue reading
String Art
String Art is becoming more and more prevalent in décor. From coffee shops, consignment stores and Free People storefronts, the string art trend is growing. Actually, one of my very first posts here on Bloom and Birch was a DIY String Art project – one of my faves to this day. My friend recently had a baby and they wanted to wait until birth for the gender reveal. Since I wasn’t able to give them an entirely (gender) personal baby shower gift, after they birthed their angel boy, Levi – I went to work to create this string art nameplate for the little man! String art is actually quite easy if you have the necessary tools, time and patience!
Get Green
Please don’t judge that this is my first post of the New Year…(Insert shocked emoji face). I know, horrible of me. Time seems to be flying by already this year – can you believe it is mid-March!? Speaking of March – it is officially National Nutrition Month! I guess it makes sense, seeing that March is probably when the New Year resolutions of working out and clean eating start to diminish. Enter – National Nutrition Month – where people have another reason for motivation to take their bodies and health into thoughtful consideration. Continue reading

Have you guys heard of Hautelook.com? Well, it depletes my bank account like every other week. It’s dangerous, but it’s oh so glorious…in the, “It’s the Holidays and all I’ve been doing is buying myself stuff” (oops) kind-of-way. Continue reading
Cauliflower Soup
The storms have infiltrated our city the past couple weeks, putting me in a hot tea, cozy blankets, craving soup kinda mood. I love soups during this time of year as they are healthy, filling and light before the wave of all the Holiday meals and treats make their way into our bellies. One of my favorite soups is one my mom made years ago, it has had us all in awe since. It was SO. GOOD. Putting a slight twist on this delicious cauliflower soup, here is one of our families favorite soups… Continue reading
