Before I was married and before I became a Mom, I basically ate the same thing most days and I’m actually getting emotional thinking about how GREAT I felt. It was simple, easy, planned. I ate the same thing most mornings for breakfast, brought the same snacks and lunches with […]
Wow, what a fabulous week it’s been. The sun is starting to come out more often and we’ve been having the best time getting our garden ready for the season ahead! This weekend I’m headed out to take a break and go hiking with some wonderful ladies. It’s hard for […]
Happy New Year, friends! If you’re like me you’re more than ready for a bit of a reset. December is great, but don’t you ever wish we could celebrate without getting wrapped up in all the sugar? Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing with you a […]
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 […]
As I sit to write this, it’s 45 degrees outside. My kiddos are still asleep and a fun Friday is ahead of us. What are you up to today? We (I mean my hubby and bro-in-law) will be installing flooring at our house today, I’ll be helping at the kids […]
I tucked a few things into some drawers today for our new home. Towels, pot holders—new and so cute, with the tags still on. We’ll be moving probably in 2 months or less from now! Things on the house have been going so well over the last few months and […]
Happy, happy, happy September friends. As many of you know, fall is undeniably my favorite time of year and I can get a little over zealous with my love for it. But no apologies. Pumpkin spice is life. Layers are flattering. School is cool after a long summer and hey […]

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 […]
Any ladies out there with young kids? Yeah, I thought so! How about any ladies with young kids, who are wanting to garden more? Yep! This post is for you! Please join me in warmly welcoming Megan, creator of Seed and Sprout to NW Healthy Mama. This lady is such […]
I read something recently that said kids grow more in the spring. Do you believe it? In our house, it’s certainly true. I don’t know about you guys, but for our family, spring means ACTIVE, growing and hungry (all the time!) kids. In preparation for summer, I’ve been trying to […]
We live in a very, very cool area you guys. Soak up all it has to offer….. the goodness of the people and the food. This guest post from Elizabeth at River Run Farm is simply stunning. When a bunch of (relatively) young farmers, work together towards a more just and ecological […]
