  1. These are stunning pictures, Lisa! It’s always so hard to get good ones without tourists in them – good job ;)! And you look stunning, dahlink!!! xo

  2. Beautiful Big Sur! Although it will always remind me of when my son was about 5, and got really carsick on that curvy ride back down south.

    Also, you need to visit some more waterfalls, stat!! Spring is a great time to visit Yosemite, and the walks to visit lower Yosemite and Bridal Veil falls are easy for your family to tackle. GO!! 🙂

  3. Hello Lisa~

    I received my beautiful sunburst ring today…it gives me hope when I look at it! I have a chronic illness which has made wearing my wedding rings impossible due to joint swelling. Your ring fits my finger and now I can wear a ring finally. It will give me inspiration when it feels hopeless and it makes me feel like a normal woman who can once again wear a ring..Thank you and bless you…
