Sometimes all a girl needs is time with her mother to get things back on track. I spent the last few days with my mom in the city and in Napa. Time with her is the best, and I'm so fortunate that we live so close to each other. Here's to a sunny week ahead!

View from the Marine Memorial. It just never gets old.

Halloween has never been a holiday I've really gotten into. When I find myself in the scenario where I need to dress up, I typically look to Ziggy to steal the show in terms of costumes, whereas I'm more of an accessory. Everyone just loves that sweet dog!

However since moving to San Francisco, Halloween has quickly become one of my favorite days to celebrate, mostly in part due to my friends. They just know how to have fun and are so true to the core, it inspires me to think outside the box just a little bit more.

1. First Halloween celebration with S = Too. Much. Fun.

2. Necessary pit stop on the way to Napa. Nomnom.

3. Gorgeous Fall day at Cuvaison.

Delicious dinners, outdoor summer concert, and wine tasting under Napa blue skies - that's what good weekends are made of.

1. Sushi dinner at C U Sushi

2. Postal Service at the Greek Theater

3. A beautiful Sunday with S, my mom and good friends

A weekend full of great food in even better company. What more could a girl need? The only bummer was falling asleep before the season premier of Mad Men ended and completely sleeping through Melissa McCarthy on Saturday Night Live (missing this and so much more). I'm old.

1. Attending Curls, Curves and Cocktails with good friend Juvella walking away truly inspired. I learned just how much your voice can be heard and change be made because of it.

2. Wine tasting at Cuvaison on a beautiful sunny day with my mom, favorite and his brother. So. Much. Fun.

3. This happened during Sunday brunch at Café de la Presse and I'm a better person because of it (I tell myself).

After another busy weekend, life's adventures are proving to be more than I could have ever imagined; I couldn't be more thrilled about the direction life is taking. And I'm grateful for those family and friends, old and new, for making things all that much sweeter.

1. Escaping the city noise to Club Cuvaison.

2. Sweet things.
