ShareLiving the local life in Santa Barbara while I house-sit definitely has it’s perks.  But the fact that I once again was present in town for the celebrated sidewalk chalk drawings of the I Madonnari exhibition in Santa Barbara was no coincidence, as it always falls on the weekend nearest this same friend’s birthday.

ShareBeing a Southern California native, I’ve cruised up the California coast many times in my life.  But I’ve never driven north of Santa Barbara on my own. Never.  Until this last week when I was enticed to venture farther north in my trusty little Prius to attend a wine-tasting ocean view tweetup at the lovely […]

ShareI grew up in west L.A. Good, bad and ugly, one of the good-est aspects of this childhood locale was it’s proximity to Santa Barbara. It’s hard to know how many people have heard of this gem of Southern California. I mean, I believe it’s fairly well known;  If for no other reason than the […]
