Good evening!
It was the picture perfect day today! I got to hug trees and fuzzy stuffed llamas…what could be better?!
After lunch, my mom and I headed into the town of Sonoma, which is totally picturesque and cute. Lots of fun shops and cafes and a really big pretty park. I tasted the best fudge ever at this old fashioned candy store—
And also snacked on my favorite flavor of larabar while we strolled—
For dinner, we ate at one of my favorite spots in Healdsburg—Scopa!
I had a glass of prosecco:
And we ordered the grilled calamari (my FAVORITE thing on the menu!):
A bowl of the soup of the day (not sure exactly what it was called but it had huge beans in it as well as chilies and green) topped with grilled bread:
And we split a margharita pizza. I love Scopa’s pizzas—they are suuuuper thin and very light on the cheese. Very authentic!
I was a happy girl! 
Time for BED! Going to wake up early, do some yoga and then head into the city with my mom for lunch and to pick up my dad from the airport!
Goooooodnight!

Do you take a ‘break’ from writing now over the holidays??
Any writers out there?! Give me some advice haha
That fudge looks heavenly!
haha love the tree hugging picture!!! Glad you guys had a great day…any day that involves fudge is a good day in my book!
Wow you had the best of both world’s! Homemade fudge and grilled calamari. It is funny because my husband never had calamari till he met me. He loves it!! However he normally gets it fried
The tree hugging picture is fabulous! Love the shot of the bubbles in the prosecco glass too.
I just LOVE your outfit in that picture!!
You are so adorable!
I love your coat! So casual yet feminine. Also, Margharita pizza is my absolute favorite style.
Looks like you had a beautiful day! Keep em’ coming!
fudge looks great and so does your dinner!
Glad you get to see your dad today
Jenna
That tree picture is SO cute.
Scopa sounds really cool! That pizza looks delicious!
Oh you seem in the happiest mood, this post totally lifted my spirits. Thanks Jenna!
I had a neighbor who actually had llamas and the worst thing ever was when I saw the llamas walking down my driveway in the middle of the day when my neighbors were at work. I had to round them up and get them into their pin again…….note to self, they bite and spit.
Sounds like a lovely day.
I am jealous of the fudge… I LOVE fudge!
You look so lovely and happy!!! That fudge looks heavenly!
Drool…that fudge looks so good!!
Enjoy the holidays and Happy New Year!!

I love your boots! Where did you get them?
Jessica,
Thanks–Steve Madden!
PB&J Larabars are my favorite, too.
That pic of you with the lama is too dear!!
i think it’s great that your mom and yourself (is this grammatically correct?) have the same attitude towards exercise, wine, and eats. It’s refreshing. Have a great Christmas with your family.
all your pictures make me instantly hungry (that pizza and fudge for example)
Glad you’re having fun!
Love the boots Jenna

What a fun day! I love your jacket too!
I love this post!! You look so cute in all of your pictures. Glad you’re having a great time!
ps. I was drooling over the watermelon sweet tea in one of your earlier posts.
I love prosecco! It’s highly underrated. I prefer it over champagne.
What an eclectic mix of flavors.
I love fudge, but only in teeny amounts—more than that, and it’s sugar overload for me. The PB&J Larabar is pretty darn tasty, too. I’m glad you had an amazing night of eats, as always!
Great pics! That’s the best flavor Lara, hands down. I love reading your blog even more now that you’re in NorCal!! Have fun in the city today (where I will be too, cool!) and I hope your parents’ visit will be filled with joy and love.
Your coat is adorable!!!
Jenna…you are gorgeous! Merry Christmas!!
Wow dinner looks incredible. I’ve always wanted to try prosecco, hopefully I’ll get to very soon!
haha, I just finished eating a pb&j larabar as I read this post! That fudge looks divine…mouth is watering. Every time I read your blog, I miss California. have fun with your mom, and merry christmas!
oh my that fudge looks amazing! I love it so much – shame about the (lack) of nutrional value
i have those boots too! have fun!
You always look so adorable…love the outfit!
Thanks for all of the blog updates but I am done now.
Have to agree that nothing could be better than hugging trees and any kind of stuffed animals. Well maybe not the stuffed animals but the trees are fun to hug.
That raspberry dream fudge looks YUMMY.
mmm I’ve never seen that larabar flavor! I just had peanutbutter cookie yesterday and was in heaaaven. now, clearly I will be on the hunt for a little pb&j lovin
