When Michelle called me a few weeks ago to tell me she got us tickets for The DiscOasis I was ecstatic. Like giddy with excitement! Not only had I been watching the entire oasis unfold on Instagram via all my favorite roller skaters, on this particular night, THEY WERE ALL GOING TO BE THERE hosting …
Oh Summer, Please Stick Around a Little Longer this Year
I’m just going to start by saying that I do NOT want summer to end this year! I am not even close to being ready for freezing temps and twenty layers of clothes and boots and snow… as beautiful as it is, and as much as I do love winters up here in Lake Arrowhead, …

A Little Mountain Brunch at The Modern Lodge
I’m a few days late and a week behind but I thought I’d share this wonderful little mountain brunch I attended last Wednesday, hosted by Summer Bellessa at her super fabulous, newly renovated, mountain home, The Modern Lodge, here in Lake Arrowhead. I met Summer at Emily Henderson’s Mountain House Reveal party, which I was …

Falling Down is an Accident. Staying Down is a Choice
A few nights ago I fell on my skates. It wasn’t the first time, but it was the hardest fall by far and it SHOOK me to my core. Falling on skates is inevitable, but for some reason it’s never when you’re doing a cool dance move or trick, actually, that’s not entirely true, my …
There’s Nowhere you Can be That isn’t Where you’re Meant to Be
What I’m Wearing… * English Factory pink tied up sweatshirt… I took the ribbons out because they were too long and annoying for this… although would have looked really cool in the videos I shot – you can see it here… and why I didn’t originally want brightly colored skates because I’m already trying to …
Roller Skating! The Skates I Bought & Everything You Need To Know
Since I’ve been sharing about igniting my old passion for roller skating lately, and the obsession that has taken over my headspace in the most exciting way in the last few weeks, I’ve been spending A LOT of my free time researching skates and wheels… and well, buying way too many pairs of skates to …
I Roller Skated to Your Door at Daylight
Since I’m not on TikTok I feel a little behind on this roller skating trend that has tons of young girls learning to skate… and I am 100% here for it! Back in my day, it was our mom (or another family member) who taught us how to roller skate because skating was IT when …
Merry Christmas!! 2020 Edition
Merry Christmas Lovecats! We’ve made it through the holiday season and here we find ourselves on Christmas day fortunate to be alive and well and though we may not have thrived in 2020, we have definitely survived 2020. This Christmas is a quiet one for us, as it probably is for you and your family …
Give Yourself Permission to Be Creative
True to form, as soon as I made such an outrageously bold statement, declaring that I AM going to continue creating art, as if to somehow speak it into existence, I haven’t touched a pencil or paintbrush since. (insert eye roll emoji here) I know myself so well in this capacity that I often hold …
I think that I am kinda done, Can we just get to 2021? PLEASE
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
Consistency is A Struggle with A Screaming Baby
I get a lot of questions about running Dogwood Tavern and what the business is like and I often have a difficult time finding the words to express it and share. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, I’ll tell you that much, and I don’t want to come off as negative or ungrateful but I …
Valentine’s Day Pajama Party at Dogwood Tavern
We threw a Valentine’s Day pajama party at Dogwood Tavern because well, why not?! We LOVE throwing themed parties because A. there’s not a LOT to do on this mountain and B. it gives people something to look forward to and DRESS UP FOR… even though dressing up is not mandatory, it makes it way …
