Palm Springs Oasis

Mom's deserve to relax on Mother's Day and in our family the best way to relax is by the pool on a warm day. Naps, food, cold drinks and pool rafts are a must, plus a lot of family silliness.

For the perfect Mother's Day adventure, we drove out to Palm Springs to spend the day by our own private pool in one of the most stylish houses I have been to in a long time.


This house, located in Palm Springs' Old Movie Colony, was built in 1934, and was once owned by Bill Crosby. It has been restored into a charming villa with everything you need for a relaxing weekend away.

This house kind of has it all. You can feel the history as soon as you walk in the giant wood doors.  It is an old adobe style Spanish villa with white wash walls and exposed wood beams and ceiling. The courtyard and the wood doors under a hall like trellis remind me of a Spanish Mission.

Right away you are taken in by the open, yet cozy feeling of the house. The entry leads to a mass of french doors in the dinning area, that over look the large courtyard and pool deck. There is a retro vibe in a lot of the details, like the bright color walls, an old jute box, bright white and yellow patio furniture, and a neon sign labeling the cantina in the back of the courtyard.

Palm Springs, Ca

Two weekends ago Jimi and I went on my company trip to Palm Springs, Ca. It was cold and rainy with only a little bit of sun one morning, so we spent most of our time lounging in the hotel room, eating and drinking. Not quite as resorty as we were hoping, but relaxing none the less!

Here are the details:

Hotel - Riviera Resort and Spa - style: contemporary and kinda late 50's mod with bold pattern and bright colors, food: Awesome, pool: Nice with real sand and fire pits!

The Drive - Cabazon and Desert Hills Outlet Malls, A&W Rootbeer floats, and Jack Rabbit Pass (60 HWY), snow on the mountains and suddenly hitting rows of palm tress, knowing you have arrived.

Breakfast and a Movie - The Rum Diaries (gets a big thumbs up!) On Demand and Room Service (our first time) consisting of omelets, orange juice, coffee, potatoes, and bread (Jimi had the best Huevos Rancheros of his life!)

Poolside - AM sun, a late lunch (best grilled cheese sandwich ever), a really good drink called the Sharon (Bacardi peach red rum, peach puree, fresh orange juice & lime blended with ice), and the jacuzzi once it started to rain.

Downtown - It was Saturday night and St. Patrick's Day, so it was busy, but we got ourselves into an authentic little French restaurant called Pomme Frite. It was amazing!! Who knew in the middle of Palm Springs!?

Sleeping in, napping and going to bed early = a whole lota rest!

I am obsessed with rootbeer so this was Ahhmazzing!
