Staycation

For the first post of year I am confessing my new obsession with Sunset magazine...

www.sunset.com

First of all they are all about living here in the west which is great because we do love living here, right???

They have everything from traveling to Utah for a canyoning excursion to exploring the apple orchards of Oak Glen, California...day trip anyone???

Then comes the design stuff..need I say more. Things like gardening, creating the perfect outdoor space as your escape from the world to making your house a home inside out.

Lastly comes the food. Some good stuff for any occasion that definitely makes me hungry.

For a closing thought...they are all about local beauty...where you live in the most beautiful place in the world you just have to get out there and find it (they give you all the info you need you just have to go do it) and it might just be your own backyard. Even though it is a little late considering it is already February! but here is to a new year of celebrating where you live and supporting local sellers, artists, and cities. And to being at home and loving it... with a few vacations here and there to places you have been dying to go to forever even though they may just be a weekend trip away.

Happy New Year and have fun being home!
