Inspirational Mom :: Tara McCallan of the Happy Soul Project
Last year I came across a picture of the sweetest little girl I could imagine and had to find out more about her.

The Rancho Bernardo Inn Provides a Unique Experience
We had a chance to check out the Rancho Bernardo Inn last weekend as part of their INNfluencer program and was delighted to spend my (forever 28) birthday weekend there! Located in San Diego in a rather quaint neighborhood (you drive through several neighborhoods to get to the serene resort), you are immediately put at ease by the warm and welcoming vibe of the resort. I had visited Rancho Bernardo Inn for the first time last November for a work-related event and vowed to come back as I truly fell in love with the place!
