Betsy’s Mother’s Day Musts

Before you add the same, old faithful bathrobe to your cart, why not get the mom in your life something that she actually wants (and probably really needs) for Mother’s Day? Whether it’s a sweet treat, relaxing spa service, or new restaurant outing, here are some ideas to help make Mother’s Day truly special. From sleepless nights to temperature checks to never-ending-clean-up duty, the clock never stops for mothers, so make sure that they have 24-hours of love and celebration. Bonus points if you already have some childcare time booked too. Cheers to all the moms out there who make even the smallest moments seem magical!

Kinda chic to be a cowgirl (sorry, I had to) 🤠 W Kinda chic to be a cowgirl (sorry, I had to) 🤠 

What a beautiful visit to @visitsyv - dining at @nellakitchenbar, shopping at @wildflowerwomenboutique and @globaleyeshop, and an epic ride and wine tasting at @buttonwoodwinery 🍷 

Buttonwood’s property is gorgeous. What a treat to ride through the vineyards and end with a crisp, chilled wine. Also, shout out to Willy - we’re buds now. 🐎 

That barn too. Absolutely stunning. Do you love a visit to The Valley too? 🍇

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @wanderm NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @wandermentfarms 🎙️ 

Episode 70: Growing a Better Future: Margo Redfern on Regenerative Farming & Reinvention 🌱 

Is a return to regenerative farming the answer that we need for climate change? How are we able to learn from the past to help the future of farming? 🤔 

On this podcast episode, I’m joined by Margo Redfern, founder of Wanderment Farms, a 56-acre regenerative farm in Santa Barbara County. After witnessing the devastating California wildfires and feeling called to make a difference, Margo and her husband left the Bay Area behind in search of land. They had one goal in mind: restore the land while helping to create a healthier future for generations to come. ☀️ 

Margo breaks down what regenerative farming actually means, why our soil and food nutrition are in crisis, and how simple shifts in the way we farm could have an enormous impact on helping our environment. We also talk about starting an entirely new chapter later in life, the challenges that farmers continue to face, and why “tuck-in time” is Margo’s favorite.🦙 

Plus, we dive into all the farm animals (hint: there are never enough livestock guardian dogs), cheese making, farm-to-table dinners, and the surprising realities of modern farming. 👩‍🌾 

Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, love learning about where your food comes from, or simply enjoy hearing inspiring stories of people creating meaningful change, this conversation is full of hope, education, and practical takeaways. 👏🏻
