Seven years ago, my side of the family started a tradition. Instead of exchanging gifts at the holiday – we’d do a weekend getaway together. For the past six years, we’ve done Leavenworth. This year, we dared to be different and tried out Suncadia in Roslyn, WA. Let me just say we LOVED it!!!! The […]

What a family…. My husband knew them in high school……but just re-connected in September when my crazy son decided BMX racing could be part of his heart!!! I’m SO glad to have met them…… This family is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!!! And kind, and fun and loving and totally connected. This gorgeous little 6 year old is a […]

Yes…..big exhale. That’s what we do here…..cabin weekend for us. Perfect for after Thanksgiving!!!

Tonight, I slowly cleaned the house up, prepped for tomorrow, played with the kids (sort of), got them tucked into their respective dreamworlds, and FINALLY sat down to watch last night’s episode of Parenthood. Do you think I could find the […]

So this adorable 8 year old has found something she LOVES!!!! Something that she does twice a week and literally smiles the whole way through! Who knew a few years back that the little girl who HATED getting her face wet would be crawl stroking, backstroking, breaststroking and diving like its nobody’s business. She has […]

AND, it’s no secret that he is pretty much a reincarnation of his dad in many ways (well, most ways minus the fact that Todd is the introvert and Nate is the extrovert of all extroverts). SO, after us ignoring his […]

We have had a very very fun summer.  I felt inspired tonight to post some highlights.  As we move toward 9/1/12 (which is secretly the day I internally transition to Fall),  I cherish the unstructured, lazy, free days of summer.  Reading stories by headlamp….  Playing with friends…. Gorgeous friend Kate (wink wink)  The various sides […]
