This fall, San Francisco’s newest Island destination comes alive. Starting Saturday, September 13, Off the Grid will transform the soon-to-open Cityside Park on Treasure Island into a weekly Mediterranean escape featuring artisanal food trucks, aperitif culture, and some of the most stunning views you’ll find anywhere in the Bay.

Bowlero at Westfield Valley Fair
Bowlero is now open at Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara! We had the chance to attend their Grand Opening party and can’t wait to visit again. It’s the perfect place to visit with groups of all ages. We brought our kiddos along, but it would also be fantastic with a group of friends or a date!
A German Getaway
This fall we managed to escape for a whirlwind trip to Frankfurt, the famous Rhine River, the most charming Old World wine region and more. We saw a bit of everything; Old towns, castles, the steepest vineyards in the world, Christmas heaven, and sipped on the most delicious Riesling. Though our trip was short, the…
Springtime in Vancouver & Victoria
For spring break this year we decided to take a family trip to Canada. We were looking for a destination that would have fair weather and where we could do a mix of outdoor and city activities. The flight from SFO to Vancouver is just under 2.5 hours making it an easy destination to travel to with our kiddos, plus it’s in the same time zone. We began our trip in Vancouver where we stayed for a few nights. After that we made our way to Victoria for 2 nights. Traveling with 2 little ones (3 & 5 years old) we tried to keep the itinerary flexible with plenty of wiggle room for rest and play. Since the weather was a little rainy we found some indoor activities to enjoy that we had not planned for and hope to go back again to enjoy some outdoor things that we missed.
Bodega Bay Getaway
When it heats up in the Bay we love to head up North. Bodega Bay is the perfect getaway to recharge for a few days. The beaches are usually cool and the town is full of delicious eats and beautiful sights. Although it is a small town (less than 1,000 residents!) there is plenty to…
Traveling to Disneyland with Young Children

Morgan Winery: Organic & Sustainable Wines
A glass of Morgan Winery wine never disappoints. Morgan Winery is located in Carmel’s Santa Lucia Highlands and focuses on organic and sustainable farming while at the same time staying innovative in the wine making process. We love their pinots, they are extremely well balanced and are superb to open right away or save for a special occasion. Their bottles are perfect for enjoying with a summer meal, al fresco!

It’s time for our annual gift guide! We always love keeping it local as possible when shopping for gifts for our loved ones. The Bay Area has so many incredibly talented makers and businesses that we had a hard time choosing which gifts to showcase this year.
Tumbling Waste into Compost
This year we’ve been enjoying our backyard and getting more and more into gardening. We’ve also been making changes in our home to become more eco friendly. At home composting just seemed like the next logical step to take. Not only does it provide healthy, nutrient rich and balanced compost for the garden, but it is also good for the environment. Although you might think that plant matter and food waste would decompose in the landfill, it is not properly aerated to decompose scraps properly. Instead they generate Methane, which can hold 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide!

PinkBlush Clothing Review
These past couple of years I haven’t invested in many new clothes at all. Being pregnant the twice kind of puts a damper on the whole shopping experience. It’s difficult enough finding flattering maternity wear, but also just as difficult to find comfortable postpartum wear that doesn’t involve sweat pants. Like many other expectant mothers I’ve talked to, I was hesitant to spend money on maternity wear that I knew I would only wear for a few months of my life.
