If we have an occasion to celebrate and some $ in our pocket, we love returning to Rancho La Puerta in Mexico for a tune-up to our wellness routine.

Thanksgiving at home
Our home overflowed with friends, family, gratitude, generosity and love this week as we hosted Regina, Ben & Russell, Howie & Barby and seven Osmanis for Thanksgiving. So much delicious food. So many good feels. Great way to kick off the winter holiday season!

Devil's Slide Trail
Working our way uphill towards Taquitz Peak on Devil's Slide Trail. Still a long way to go to cover some distance, but the first few miles are definitely postcard-photo-worthy. Elevation 6800 feet.
