The Carneros Inn

When Jon and I were thinking about where we wanted to go for our belated second anniversary trip, we initially thought of somewhere tropical.  We honeymooned in St. Thomas and absolutely love any place with a beautiful beach.  However, after several people recommended Napa, I decided to do a little research and see what it had to offer.  I wasn't too keen on the idea at first, but then I found The Carneros Inn.  Right away, I could tell is was a picturesque place perfect for relaxation.  And while Jon and I do love the beach, we also live right next to one so trying something new sounded like a good idea.

The Carneros Inn is made of up of little cottages placed right next to a vineyard and breathtaking views.

We'll be staying in one of the Harvest Cottages, which features its own private patio complete with a firepit (for roasting s'mores!) and an outdoor tub.  What could be more relaxing?

There are a couple of restaurants on the property including FARM and Boon Fly Cafe.

I will be partaking in Boon Fly's famous donuts.

They also have a market at the resort where you can stock up on s'more kits and sandwiches before you head off on a picnic via one of their adorable bikes.

And we'll obviously be enjoying lots of vino and relaxing by their stunning pool.

Oh my goodness.  I can hardly wait!

New Coffee Table

After more than a year of debate, I've finally decided on and ordered us a new coffee table! As mentioned here , there were several styles I was considering.  However, in the end the tufted ottoman came out on top.  Not only was it versatile, so it can be used for years to come, but it also will be good for when we have kiddos down the road.  I can't tell you how many people I know who have had to either remove their coffee tables for the safety of their kids' noggins or have had to add those tacky corner protectors.  I did not want to invest in a new piece only to have to stow it away down the road.  So this seemed to be the perfect solution.  And thanks to my Joss & Main membership, it turned out to be the perfect price too. I was all set to order a tufted ottoman from Ballard Designs.  I had already received a swatch sample of the fabric I selected and everything.  But a few days later, I got a notification from Joss & Main of a sale event called The Tufted C

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the office sans the Fr

A Heart

Lately, baby prep has been on the forefront of my mind.  Getting the nursery ready, packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, setting up a pediatrician and the list goes on.  Sometimes I have to step away from it all (literally and mentally) so as not to get overwhelmed.  I put this pressure on myself to get it all done and done right.  I tell myself that all of these things are so necessary for her to be a good place upon her entrance to the world. Sure cute, clean outfits and a nice room are nice things for your child to have, but how lost I can get in the worldly things.  More than anything else, I know that the best thing I can give my daughter is a great example of a good heart.  A heart that empathizes and serves.  A heart that loves the Lord and longs for his relationship. A heart that is thankful and joyful even on the worst days. It's a frightening thing to ask myself "Will she learn this from you?  Will you be able to be that example?"  That carr
