Hey there, friends! How was your weekend? I hope it felt long, and was full of laughs and good food. Mr. SP and I ended up taking a last-minute trip to California on Saturday, and are actually flying home today. I’ve alluded to some personal crappola brewing in my life lately, and the time finally came that I had to deal with it. I’m not trying to be coy, it’s just a little raw to talk about yet. Let’s just say it involves forgiveness, and making peace. Life is a toughie sometimes, right? But God didn’t promise us it would be easy, just that it would be good. I’ve been leaning on that one lately.
We were able to squeeze in some fun time while in LA, too…like a walk on the beach, hiking through the hills, and a quiet dinner….basically soaking up some of the laid-back California living. I could certainly picture myself moving into Amber Valletta’s colorful and cool Santa Monica villa.

I love that her master bedroom is pink…and that her husband is okay with it! Would your significant other go for hot pink on the bedroom walls? You know mine was fine with pale pink in the Dining Room, and even dark pink on the Pool Bath doors, but in the bedroom might be pushing it. What’s your favorite thing about her home?
First of all, I'm praying for your crapola and second of all, my hubby doesn't care what color I paint something…and I'm totally digging that pink! XOXO
I hope your weekend trip helped give you some personal time to deal with life stuff! praying it gets better soon. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
I hope your trip went well and you were able to get done what needed to get done. Love ya friend!
Praying all goes well:)
Isn't that the pink room they did on Million Dollar Decorators? I know I've seen that before…
Hope you're okay! Glad you were able to get away for a little while.
What a gorgeous house! Glad that you got to get away for a little – California is so gorgeous, I miss it!
Praying for you Cassie. We all go through rough periods from time to time. Good for you for recognizing you needed to deal with it! And yes, sometimes those very struggles make us stronger and other times we learn we need to move on and change direction. Glad you were able to getaway for a bit.
You're in a tough position, I feel for you, friend. Hoping this trip was healing & that you found closure. And that you're stronger for it. Much love to you, xoxo.
When can I move into Amber's house?!?!
Hoping things get easier for you. But whats not to love in her house?? Possibly the bath is my fav!
Hang in there! Praying for you!
Hope all is well and the trip refreshed you 🙂 xoxo
Well crap about the crapola 🙁 Hope everything is ok, and I'll be praying for you.
It is always good to get away from everything! Hope you're enjoying your time in Cali 🙂
That house is amazing! Hope your trip was productive and things are getting worked out!
Hope you're able to find some healing. I don't know your story but the road to forgiveness with my father was a long and broken one. It helped me to know that forgiveness doesn't mean that what he did or said was okay… But rather that I made a choice to let it go.
I mean I think I could see myself living in her amazing house…I might get used to it rather quickly! hah Your instagram pics have looked beautiful! Glad you were able to enjoy bits of Cali while there. Hope things are going well for you!
Been thinking about you the entire time. Love you. xoxo
Hope your trip is going well!
xo, Taylor
Hope your weekend went well Cassie. Walking through tough stuff is never easy. I applaud you for doing it. Thinking of you.
I'm sorry your trip to a beautiful place had to be for no-so-beautiful reasons, but I pray that it brought some healing and peace to you all!
I put pink accents in our bedroom and my husband still hasn't noticed! What a beautiful home she has. Thanks for sharing and I hope things get better soon!
