After saying goodbye to family in Oregon, we packed up and headed just a bit further South, just over the border into Northern California. Last Christmas we purchased a lot near Crescent City and were eager to see it in the summer. Continue reading Giggling in the Trees of Northern California
We have rented a super cute little one bedroom house situated on a large organic farm in the mountains of Heredia in San Jose, Costa Rica. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy, and wait for the baby to come. Here Luna leads a tour of the trails around the house.
This may not sound like an exciting blog post to you, but let me tell you, it’s super exciting for me!

It’s exciting to see the roof go on and know that pouring the concrete floor is next. After that, it’s time to decorate with paint and tile and all the fun things like kitchen counters, etc.
