It is an amazing place to live. I would move there in a heartbeat given the opportunity. VISITING A GREAT CITY A visit to San Francisco is not complete without a stop at Lombard Street. The most crooked street, and a fun drive when in town. It’s a fun memory for young and older alike. I will always remember my visit with my fellow decor blogger and friend, Laurel Bern. I was super windy and our hair was all over, so no pictures of us. The Design Influencers Conference 2020 I’m Back From The DI 2020 Conference and here is what happened.
