Every home has a story…
We love our kids, our pets, people, travel, food, wine, and GOD! We started this blog to share all the things that inspire us throughout our life. Andee is a life long Napkin. This means she has spent her entire life living in a place most of us only dream about visiting. She is a foodie and avid photographer and a Napa Valley expert.

There is nothing better than jumping in the car with no agenda and exploring the vastness that makes up Norther California.
I (Don) was born and raised in Los Angeles and I spent the first half of my life on the radio and working in the record industry. I have lots of interesting stories… Currently I work in real estate (Puts food on the table) which allows us to do all the wonderful things we love.

the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
Inspire means to excite, encourage, or breathe life into. Inspire comes from the Latin word that means to inflame or to blow in to.

Lack of Time is a Common Stressor
‘Time is money’ has been drilled into us. We feel that we do not have enough time to get everything done and many of us tend to panic
Everything you are after…
Have you ever thought about who you are? What you stand for?
I’m not talking about your life roles or your social identity. You can be a friend, brother/sister, employee, boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife, father/mother, and son/daughter all at the same time, but these are just an aspect of you.
