From beach walks to cooking classes, there is so much more to experience than just the traditional Valentine's Day activities. We are not suggesting you forgo the flowers and candy or that hotel stay but here are some other ideas to create fun memories.

Young Naya Patterson created her company, Make Believe Photography, in 2014. She got the idea for the name from her previous competition horse, "Make Believe," as the equestrian world is full of photographers who are constantly needed for sales, competitions and barn photos.

These are the best drinking syrups you have ever tasted, and there are many reasons why, but mostly this one: these are homegrown. Each ingredient is sourced hyper-locall...

A sneak peek: be on the look out for our story on our south of the boarder secret escape. We feel this resort is the gem of Cabo. Not only because of its location but also, because their employees make you feel as if you are coming home the moment you walk in the door. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CLfIlJlAYOU/?igshid=7vhrv9ca9fwj. note: this photo was taken prior to COVID-19

Dreaming of sunny skies, boats in the water and stocking up on everything Conservatory Coastal Home! Until then be on the lookout for staycation trips as well as finding sunshine with family & friends safely south of the boarder.

As the Chief Exploration Officer at The Content Scout, I am constantly in search of a spot to find that perfect gift and never tire of seeking out design inspiration for either my home or The Content Scout studios. And one of my favorite locations to do both is Conservatory Coastal Home.

Young Entrepreneur: Turning Passion into a Business.
Even as a young child, Abby Fischer loved watching baking shows and The Food Network instead of cartoons. "The creations they made blew me away." The 16-year old says. "The things they created were not just food but art. Being able to have a creative outlet like baking that I can share with friends and family is what really sparked my love for baking."
Along came COVID-19, and after dropping off resumes and trying to get a job with no luck, she had a request from The Content Scout to create something for a photo shoot. The agency suggested that Abby turn her passion into a business.
She went to work getting a business license and creating her own website and social media profiles -- and her business, Cakedd (cakedd.com), became a reality. Specialty orders are coming in weekly and Cakked has not only proven to be a viable business but a creative way to help manage the difficulties and pressures the pandemic has caused.
For Abby, bringing beautiful and delicious treats to people and seeing the smiles and happiness is proof that her passion is not only her joy but one that she can share with others.
Since our first collaboration with Cakedd, we at The Content Scout have had the opportunity to try everything from her amazing carrot cake to her delicious tarts. We asked her what her three favorite things to make are and she pointed to hand pies, cakes and tarts.
"I think that especially right now, it is important to try different things and find your passion." Abby says. "With the extra time COVID-19 has given me and so many other people, it is a great time to really work at things you love and try to improve and push yourself to get better. "During COVID, my love of baking has been positive for me because I can use it as an outlet to escape and use the extra time I now have on my hands. It's also positive because I can create treats for friends and family to cheer them up. Baking is also a way to connect with people -- even if you can't be with them in person, you'll have something that you can share with them and make them happy."
Be sure to check out Abby's beautiful website showcasing all her delicious creations. Order some for yourself, or bring a friend or loved one some "happiness".

All from this one article; https://wshgc.net/the-garden/2020-09-21/good-plant-hunting/

As we moved into our home two years ago, the gardens that were once pristine were covered in cedar tree droppings, debris, pine branches, blackberries and a menagerie of who knows what.
