Saying this is a heartbreaking admission doesn’t come close in explaining the pain we’ve felt.

Oh. My. Goodness. I swear I’m still alive. I took a much-needed hiatus this summer, which was literally and figuratively filled with soaking in the sun and playing in the sand while taking breaks from the surf (and chaos). If you took a peek at my Instagram feed (I hope you did!!), you saw the summer kicked off with the annual ladies trip to Vegas; a week […]

This event recap is sponsored by Minted. All opinions are of my own. While I was at Alt Summit, I attended a dinner hosted by Minted on the first night. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and let us know they were eager to work alongside us on any upcoming projects and events. Fast forward to a few weeks after the […]

Just rounding up my favorite things this week: Clockwise, from the top right: 1) I first saw Three Bad Seeds‘ pillows at Urban Craft Uprising over the holidays. They are soft and each design has the perfect PNW touch in each one. (BTW: if the Etsy shop is still on holiday, and if you happen to live in […]

With Spring Break in mind, here are this week’s five favorite things. Clockwise, from the top right: 1) I love London Tierney’s tote bags. Every single one is made with a lot of love; London designs and hand paints pattern, which is then screen-printed with an eco-friendly water based inks on duck canvas. Incredibly sturdy and perfect for carting around the family’s goods in style […]

I mentioned last month I’m trying hard to decorate for holidays for my boys. I deeply appreciate their schools helping explain the holidays and I feel my part is to offer something at home to help further the conversations and learning experience. Our Easter decor is fairly tame. Just fresh flowers on the table and in the kitchen to welcome spring, along with […]

This week’s five favorite things. Clockwise, from the top right: 1) While Easter baskets are usually filled with candy, this year I’ll ask the Easter Bunny to skip the sweets and bring this ultra-cool Make Map Art: Creatively Illustrate Your World book for the Older instead. 2) I bought this black and white cocoon dress during a special promotion at Seattle’s University Village. It’s […]

I’ve been trying hard to bring more of the assorted holiday spirit into our home. The Older learns about them at school (which is great!), and while pulling projects and homework out of his bag after coming home, he’ll ask if we celebrate an upcoming holiday. Sometimes I explain the day is to remember someone […]

I’m so excited to share this Favorite Find with you today! Jessica Angel, owner of Oh So Antsy, and I first met in Salt Lake City during this past January’s Alt Summit Conference – only to find out we live less than 20 minutes away from one another in Seattle. How’s that for a small world? Jessica […]

  I was unsure if I was going to finish this before the deadline for the Cricut Design Space Challenge – but it appears I just might make it in time (whoa!). I mentioned yesterday, my team’s theme for this round is “Dreamy White Holiday,” and for me, it means time with friends and family (and snow!). The holidays weren’t […]
