When we moved up here to Lake Arrowhead (just over four years ago now), I finally felt “at home”… but it took me a few years to actually settle in. I knew I was finally in the right place, I just couldn’t get the LA mindset out of my brain… and didn’t really even realize …
The New Skypark at Santa’s Village // Lake Arrowhead
After nearly four years of living in Lake Arrowhead, I think you guys all know how much I LOVE this magical mountain town… and it’s getting better by the day!

Road Trip // The Cutest Shop in Lake Arrowhead
I do apologize to all the other cute little shops here in Lake Arrowhead, but Road Trip is the best in show. It’s possible I’m a teensy bit biased though, not only because I met the owners last weekend and had the most fun with them Saturday night BUT, I’ve been DYING to get into …

My Favorite Winter Sunsets in Lake Arrowhead, California
As much as I love summer and the beautiful summer sunsets, there’s just something about the sky in the winter… The cloudy, yet vibrant and colorful sunsets over the lake reflect a little bit differently when there’s snow around… I can only liken it to a white board/bounce reflector I used as a photographer’s assistant …
Happy Memorial Day!
I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday weekend and a nice Memorial Day! May we remember all those who fought and lost their lives while serving our country today… and always. “Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.” ~James Bryce

Heart Rock Trail in Crestline // The Valley of Enchantment
One of Crestline’s natural wonders, Heart Rock in the Valley of Enchantment, is just about a twenty minute drive from where we live in Lake Arrowhead. I’ve been dying to see it since we moved here and last Monday we finally decided it was a good day to do so. The pretty hike is a …
Lake Arrowhead Eats | Stone Creek Bistro in Blue Jay
This was a few months ago, when it was still very much winter here, but for some reason, this post got lost and I forgot to publish it! Until now… & though all photos were taken with my iPhone, I think you get the point. If you’re in the area or live up here, you …
Mountain Life | Lou Eddie’s Pizza in Skyforest
Last week the husband and I did a little exploring and found an amazingly quaint pizza place in Skyforest called Lou Eddie’s {just on the rim of the mountain, above where we live in Lake Arrowhead about 10 minutes away} and even though we must have passed it numerous times, hadn’t notice it until this …
Our First Run-in with Mountain Wildlife AND IT WAS A BEAR
If you follow me on Instagram… or even Twitter or facebook, you may have seen the photos I posted on Saturday night after a little run-in with A HUGE BROWN BEAR right in our driveway, dining in our trash like he had a reservation. The night’s special: Fish Pasta. But let me start from the …
Our First 4th of July on the Lake {& I may have cried a little}
After experiencing our first fun and snowy white Winter, I’ve been admittedly looking forward to our first Summer on the lake, and so far, it hasn’t disappointed. Everyone says it’s a Summer town rather than a Winter one, but we weren’t really sure what they meant until our lake, which is normally nice and quiet …

Decor Inspiration // Woodsy Chic Boutique // Jeannine’s Home Furnishings
I have found a few really amazing home decor/design boutiques up here and while they all lean a little on the woodsy side, each has its own distinctive style and this is one of my favorites. Many offer interior design services as well. Just as you enter the Lake Arrowhead Village, there’s a gorgeous little …
