I love living in California. The outdoor lifestyle, farmer’s markets galore, the weather and of course my boyfriend. But unfortunately to enjoy all that northern Cali has to offer I have to live very far away from my family. I am lucky enough that they are able to travel to visit me often, but sometimes I just want to be home and thankfully this Thanksgiving I was able to be here in New Jersey with my family.

My favorite best friend happens to be my sister and while we try to talk every day in between my work day and her college class schedule, it’s not the same as being together in person. So this year is extra special because not only am I home but I am home with my little sis!

Do you live far away from your family? How often do you get to see them?
