Hey lovelies! Happy Monday from Santa Monica! I hope this post finds you happy and well and I hope each of you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for a new week! How about the Super Bowl?! For those of you like my husband Brody that man crushes on Tom Brady so hard, I am sure you are extra happy after that game! It was a such a great game and even though I don’t really have a passion towards either team, I was happy to watch such an incredible game and I am happy for Tom Brady and for Brod haha!

Any how, it’s the beginning of a new week and we are here in lovely Santa Monica, California! I love this part of California, it has such a cool vibe to it and makes you want to go outside and just do stuff and explore and enjoy the moment! We are here for a bit of work and play, which I will share more with you in upcoming posts, but today was all about exploring and getting a know the city a bit better. We drove over to a street named Abbot Kinney Boulevard in the Venice area and did some exploring! The shops and building spaces on that street are so unique and the boys and I had a great time wandering in and out of the shops and checking out the awesome architecture design that goes into each building in that area. One of my favorite parts of traveling is finding spots/neighborhoods/streets that sort of define an area and Abbot Kinney is one of those places that will sort of define Santa Monica and Venice area for me. For those of you that are California natives (in particular, Santa Monica natives) what are some of your favorite spots to visit here? Eateries? hangouts? Let me know here on the blog or leave a comment on IG or whatever, we would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks for following! I love you all!
