One thing we have learned is that when you go to church in the Seattle metro, coffee matters. At the church we've started attending regularly, the big kiddos are in a different building with their own Steamer Café. They earn coins to buy snacks but sometimes you get a gold coin which means you can get a steamer. Enter Hudson. Seriously, the kid loooooves his steamers. He also was the toddler I ...

PUMPKIN BREAD WITH BROWN SUGAR SAUCE
I love September even though it's crazy busy. September brings school and new schedules. It makes me enjoy every last drop of the weekend once it rolls around. There is something about the sapphire sky and the leaves in all their autumn glory that brings such a peace to my heart. I love summer for all its craziness and family togetherness and days spent at the beach. But fall, oh sweet fall. It ...
OCEAN SHORES // WA
We headed to Ocean Shores, WA this weekend. We wanted to get to the ocean before it got too cold so we bought ourselves some rainboots and off we went. I brought extra pants for the boys because I figured they might get a little bit wet, even with rain boots. I thought we could do some tidepool exploring and walk in the waves a little. Wrong. My kids were basically waist deep in the ocean in the ...

Literally two. On the same street. It's a small town and with summer coming to an end, rentals were scarce. One house was small and one house was big. The small house had better finishes but it wouldn't have ...
MT. RAINIER NATIONAL PARK // WA
It’s my birthday! Well, technically yesterday was my birthday but we decided to go out and have a little adventure. We decided we’d head to Mt. Rainer with the boys. We had seen it from the metro area several times on clear days (which by the way were much more plentiful than we were led to believe before we moved here). It was awesome to see from afar so we were excited to get a little ...
