The Crosstown Trail is a wonderful volunteer-assembled walking/biking trail that extends from the southeast to the northwest corners of San Francisco. They recently just celebrated the 5-year anniversary of the trail and added a “Double Cross Trail” to complete the X from the southwest to northeast corners of the city. It took us and the…

It’s time for our March recap! A month in which we had our second cookbook club; a camping trip in Pinnacles; and a surprise getaway to Stinson Beach. But it all began with a rainy day trek to the Oakland Museum of California’s White Elephant Sale. I picked up this set of four candlestick holders….

On a beautifully sunny day, in the middle of the city that Fima and Noah called home, they formalized their vows, signing their San Francisco marriage license as well as their Jewish marriage license, the ketubah, as their family members contributed their blessings to the couple. They had managed to meet at the onset of…
Behold! The start of a whole new year! I set a goal for the entire year, which is a minimum of 15 minutes of movement every day. So we started it off with a January 1st run! Followed up by tacos in the Mission, as inspired by our return from Mexico City just the day…

It was a year filled with travels, including Arizona and Texas for three more ballparks; Jackson, Wyoming for Alex’s…
Each year, I collect small gifts along my travels and compile them into a holiday gift set for my wedding clients. It’s my way of sharing a small part of my year with my couples when they’ve shared such an important part of theirs with me. Here’s a little peek at what I sent out…
