Happy Friday, friends! As we’ve been packing, having final inspections at the house and getting ready to move, 100% homemade cooking hasn’t really been in the cards for me lately. It’s given me so much insight for friends of mine who keep chicken nuggets in the freezer for crazy days […]
If you’ve ever hiked off of the Mountain Loop highway, chances are you’ve wished there was an awesome coffee shop in Granite Falls for a post-adventure warm drink and treat. I can’t even count the times I’ve been in a car with friends or family, wondering where we should stop […]

Come with me to Fir Island for a moment, will you? First, do you even know where Fir Island is? It’s about an hour north of Seattle and if you’re headed out to Anacortes or LaConner, depending on the way you go, you’ll likely drive through it. For my family, […]
I don’t know if you do this too…but I’m kind of assuming we all do this when we go to Costco. We have let’s say for example, 10 items on our list, but since the inventory is always changing, we feel the need to walk up and down each and […]

Yesterday was awesome. It rained hard and t-ball was canceled so after a really busy day full of field trips and life, we had a much needed family evening. I handed my husband the remote and had him and the kids put together a list of Family Movies currently on Netflix, that […]
