2020 has certainly been a strange year and I'm a little sad that I won't be able to celebrate Christmas with my family and friends. Sending out Christmas cards was really important to me given the distance I've felt from everyone close to me this year! We had some fresh photos taken of us for our anniversary so I picked out my favorite and partnered up with @minted to create beautiful cards. 🎄🎁
⠀
I love how easy Minted makes it to create Christmas cards, all the way down to the customized envelopes! There's still time to create your own holiday cards and send them out before the end of the month! You'll get 15% off and FREE priority shipping on your order if you use this link: https://bit.ly/3qrH8LS⠀

Join me in sending out some holiday cheer this year! #MintedHoliday #ShareMyMinted #Ad #christmascards #holidayseason #christmascardphoto #holidayhome

While many vineyards in Napa and Sonoma were not directly hit by fires this year, many of their crops sustained terrible damage from the smoke. So many grapes were left hanging on the vines, shriveling up in the sun like raisins waiting for the birds to swoop in for a feast! 🍇 #napavalley #sonomacounty #winecountry #cafires #grapevine #winelover #napavalleywine #sonomawine #sonomastrong

Spent the day tasting around Napa and finally had the chance to visit @opusonewinery. This is a beautiful winery, and collaboration between California and French winemakers. Such a gorgeous property and an amazing selection of wine! Special thanks to the team at Opus One for having us in today! 🍷 #napavalley #opusone #napavalleywine #californialiving #winetasting #napawine #opusonewinery #californiawine

Since France was out of the question for our anniversary celebration, we decided to pack our bags and drive down the coast of California for a long weekend. First stop today was this gorgeous lighthouse in Pescadero to soak up the sun and salty sea air. 🌊☀️ #californiadreaming #pescaderocalifornia #lighthousesofinstagram #anniversarycelebration #roadtrip #route1 #driveclassics #pacificcoasthighway

Has anyone else been totally craving comfort food

Has anyone else been totally craving comfort food lately? It's still pretty steamy in California but the fact that we're halfway through October has my brain thinking cozy foods - like macaroni and cheese! 🧀 This Skillet Mac is the perfect fall and winter food and is like a hug in a bowl. Search 'Skillet Macaroni and Cheese' on the blog for the recipe! #comfortfood #cheeselover #macaroniandcheese #itsthecheesiest #fallfood #skilletmeals

Cake baking is typically not my thing but I couldn't be happier with how this beauty turned out! Pumpkin spice cake, cream cheese frosting and a layer of caramel buttercream between the layers - Yes, it tasted just as amazing as it sounds! I found that with a little patience, a few measuring spoons and time, creating beautiful cakes it not as difficult as you'd think! 🍰 🎃 #pumpkincake #pumpkinspice #cakedecorating #cakesofinstagram #bakersofinstagram
