A Midsummer White Dream
I am wearing more white this summer than the one prior to my wedding.
Freedom of Beach
Our time in Monterey is coming to an end and we are making the most of our last three weeks on the peninsula. We are looking forward to next cross country road trip and our subsequent relocation to Washington DC.

Baked Trout with Herbs de Provence Summer Vegetables // @2souschefs

Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 161/204
last... I am nearly packed up for the move. There is certain stress that comes with a move from one coast to another. Our initial move out to the west coast did not go as smoothly as I would have liked. Consequently, I am taking advantage of the fact that I am not working up [...]
