I’m still feeling the effects of all the delicio

I’m still feeling the effects of all the delicious food my boys and I ate yesterday. Leftovers FTW! As much as I enjoy the delectable food of Thanksgiving, I’m ever mindful of the importance of taking care of my health. As a mom, I strive to impart that to my boys, also. With kids, though, I’ve learned I have to get them to exercise without making it feel like “exercise.” A great way for us as a Cali family to do that is with surfing!

Surfing has so many great health benefits. It strengthens and tones muscles, boosts the immune system, increases heart health through “water cardio,” and actually helps burn a ton of calories. And, we get our daily dose of Vitamin D while enjoying the sun! On top of that, surfing always helps us sleep better, relieve tension and improve our confidence. Above all, it’s just fun! How are you going to work off yesterday’s feasting calories? (And no, shopping doesn’t count! LOL!) Let me know in the comments!

It's finally TURKEY DAY! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope your day is full of rest, relaxation and good EATING! One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is enjoying the delicious smells coming from the heart of the home: the kitchen. Kitchens are perhaps one of my favorite places to create as an interior designer. There’s so much to consider in that space, including choosing the right kitchen appliances. The options and combinations are endless, but I think I found a winning pair in a recent kitchen project for a noted chef here in California. Read in today’s blog why I chose @THORKitchen and @CaesarstoneUS for that and other recent projects, as well as things YOU should think about for your kitchen appliances!

Moms, how are you helping your little ones expend

Moms, how are you helping your little ones expend all their excess energy these days?

To say this has been a difficult time would be a huge understatement, but I think many kids are having an especially hard time with all the changes that came on so suddenly. My boys and I are privileged to live by the beach, and on any normal year, we spend a lot of time by the ocean. This year with all the social distancing guidelines, we have been “sand and sea’ing” it up even more, and my boys have loved every moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re like me, you’ve probably realized that your kids don’t actually require much at all to be entertained. My kids have a ton of fun just making up dances and games all on their own. All they need is the space to do it. I realize everyone isn’t just a short walk away from the ocean, but I would encourage all parents to find a wide open space for the kids to play, if possible. A park, a greenway, a vacant parking lot or even just a yard will do for the purpose of having a space to run, jump and play. The beach is our playground, and I feel blessed to be able to have a place appropriately distanced from others to allow these wiggly bears to wear themselves out with fun.

Tell me where you go when your kids need the freedom to play without the limits of the home.

When was the last time you tried something new?
Surfing is something I grew up doing, but I never quite mastered it. It isn’t an easy sport. You have to learn to command both your body and the waves, but it’s an amazing feeling to be out there. Here on the Pacific coast, the waves and water are more suitable for surfing in the winter. I have always loved surfing, but I gave up on it because, as you can imagine, it was cold and uncomfortable at times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In these days where so much feels foreign due to all our obvious circumstances, I’m reminded that to master something you love, you often have to weather the cold and the uncomfortable. Everything in life will be new – at least for the first time. If we stop at the beginning, there won’t be a successful ending. Our greatest victories will only be realized if we’re willing to jump in and try. Sometimes, we have to repeat that process a few times before it feels right. Sometimes, we will fail. But jump in anyway we must.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m excited to be surfing again. Yes, it may be chilly. Yes, it may be difficult. But it’s always fun when I’m on a wave. What are you willing to try today?

“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” –W.T. Purkiser
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve had a reflective and pensive start to Thanksgiving week. Beyond the food and downtime later on this week, I realize this year has been so very different for practically everyone. Life dealt us all a different hand, and many goals may not have come to fruition. Nevertheless, if you are still here, and if you are reading this, you have a reason to take every moment this week to be grateful for all that you are still able to have and to do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you find yourself feeling blue in a moment, I’d encourage you to look into the eyes of the ones you care for, if even virtually, to consider the love you have in all its forms, and to remember that we’re all in this together. If nothing else, that’s something to be thankful for. And really, aren’t we all so happy that’s true? On Thanksgiving day, know that my heart will swell because of all my blessings, many of which include each of you. Happy Sunday, everyone!
