At the end of my row, with a full bucket, I looked over, not expecting to see what happened next. Big sister gave little sister a strong push on the swings and right there, in the middle of the blueberry farm, my three year old started pumping on the swing for […]
This girl. I have a story I’ve got to share with you guys about her. I met her for the first time at a MOPS regional conference (any other MOPS Moms out there???). When she walked in the room, I knew she looked familiar. Instagram! Haha! I poked my sister and […]
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t particularly excited about the round-up of this weekend’s events. There’s just some REALLY good stuff happening around the area. Can’t wait to hear what everyone is planning on doing to celebrate this first weekend of SUMMER! Here are a few healthy and […]
Summer is here! It’s such a good feeling to shed the puffy vests, don the shorts and get outside. Do you already have your adventure agenda lined up for the summer? I hope NW Healthy Mama is inspiring you to take the kids out and explore new hikes, go kayaking, […]
Summer is here and we’re warming welcoming it. Up past our normal bedtimes, we chase the sunlight, enjoying these longer days that we craved for so long. Coming inside when the day cools, we sometimes bathe and sometimes we go to bed smelling a little like dirt and sunshine. Slipping off […]
You might know her as @themintgardener on Instagram, she might be your friend or even your neighbor. Or maybe you’ve never met her before. Trust me, you’re in for a treat. After reading Sarah’s post, you’re going to want to be her new best friend. This Mama is beautiful inside and […]
Last week my hubby and I got away for our first overnight trip in 4 years. After dropping the kids at my sister’s house, we headed to the Skagit Coop and the Woolley Market to load up on yummy snacks. Then after a stop at Woods Coffee, we were on […]
Have you ever wondered how to capture authentic moments of your kids without them running toward you with a handful of dirt, or holding still for two seconds? Do you feel guilty for taking too many photos because in the back of your mind are all the dang Facebook news […]
Every spring when the weather starts to warm and the berries start to ripen, the kids and I head out for the fields. Sometimes we go with the intent of getting enough to make jam and other times, it’s just for the experience. There’s something so relaxing about being outside, filling […]
A few months ago, I found myself wandering the isles of the Woolley Market after winning one of those Cascade Loop Scavenger hunt giveaways. It was a rainy day, my husband was working late and the kids and I thought “what the heck, we’ll just go out and try to […]
Honestly, don’t you feel like we live in the best place ever? There are a LOT of fabulous things going on this weekend! This list is just a taste of all the fun to be had in the PNW so, if you know of something that’s not mentioned it here, please share […]
When I started NW Healthy Mama almost a year ago, it became quickly apparent that this area is FULL of talented women. Today I want to share an opportunity with you, that’s too good to pass up. If you’re a local grower, maker or creator, come in close and pay attention. […]
Wow! We did it! We had our first NW Healthy Mama meetup and oh my word, it was fun. No matter how you garden, or what you believe to be the “best way”, there’s nothing like spending a sunny afternoon around a group of people who are positive and excited to […]
Last Saturday, as one of our baseball coaches recognized each player, he started talking about our guy. “This kid….he started the season out with some struggle, but he did everything we told him too and he worked really, really, hard. Now he’s a solid hitter. He’s come so far. We’re so […]
