This is our second winter in San Diego! This one feels colder than our first, but we are totally loving it! It’s cold enough to bundle up in sweaters, scarves, boots and beanies on some days. And on others, you don’t need any of it! Either way, we still get plenty of sunshine and spend a…

Winter Weather Favorites + Our Winter Bucket List
Winter weather in southern California is in the low 50’s. It’s a pretty mild winter, but our internal thermostats have adjusted and even the chillier mornings and evenings feel really, really cold. Basically, we’ve truned into a bunch of wimps and should never live near the mountains/snow ever again 😉 Even still, I have to force/beg…
