The Holidays at Roger’s Gardens in Corona Del Mar, CA

Traditions have taken on a new meaning for me, now that I have babies of my own and have started our own holiday traditions. One of my favorite Christmas traditions growing up was to visit Roger’s Gardens in Corona Del Mar, California. This amazing garden boutique transforms for the holidays and turns into a winter wonderland that is the stuff dreams are made of! Each room in the boutique is filled with Christmas trees each with it’s own theme or color scheme and completely decked out in ornaments. Every space in the boutique is decorated with holiday decor, gifts, and trinkets in every theme for the holidays you would want. Outside in their expansive garden, they have their own fresh Christmas tree lot that is so dreamy to walk around and smell the pine scent of the holidays. As a kid, we used to love getting to stroll around at night looking at all of the beautiful ornaments, twinkling lights on the trees, and visit with Santa while enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate. It truly is such a fun and magical place to visit to get into the spirit of the holidays, and I am so thankful I get to show my little ones one of my favorite places during Christmastime! 🙂

Autumn Glow Bowl

The autumn winds have been blustery this week, and I’m adoring being able to bundle up in all my fluffy robes, sweaters, and scarves! When the weather is chilly outside, I love to kick on my oven and cook something that will fill the whole house with the delicious scents of autumn’s seasonal goodies. I’ve been craving a nice big, healthy bowl filled with fresh veggies and vitamins to fill me up while keeping my energy up on these cold fall days. My Autumn Glow Bowl is a beautiful combination of gorgeous ruby red beets, roasted brussels sprouts, golden butternut squash, feta cheese, spicy arugula, heart-healthy walnuts, and nutrient-filled quinoa all tossed in a maple-balsamic vinaigrette. This is a soul-satisfying meal that will keep you feeling that autumn glow all season!

Revitalizing Mint, Honey, and Lemon Infused Green Tea

As a mom, my days start early and end late. Mid-afternoon always calls for a pick-me-up and lately I’ve been craving a cold, refreshing iced tea. Our garden has been blooming with herbs recently, and the basil and mint plants are looking beautiful! I decided to try combining some of that vibrant mint into my afternoon tea and it really was a refreshing combination. I always like things a little sweet, so I added some honey and a bit of cleansing lemon juice for a delicious glass full of antioxidants and lively flavors! My Revitalizing Mint, Honey, and Lemon Infused Green Tea will give you a much needed energy boost to your day and cleanse your system to feel your best while hustling through your day!

What I’m Loving

My Sweet Little Wildflowers

The sun has been shining bright and bringing the last of the summer heat, but a familiar breeze has appeared. We are still enjoying our fun in the sun with pool days, playground trips, and a visit to the aquarium this week, but we are also totally excited to get ready for fall! We’ve enjoyed some fall treats and started picking out new autumn decor for our home, and I am ready to bundle up in a cozy sweater once the weather starts to get blustery. And speaking of some cooler weather, I have a few things I’m loving this week that will start to bring some fall fun into your home too. 🙂
