It's no secret that I love farmer's markets. I love finding local brands that I love and can support, and I love meeting the people whose products I swear by. Such was the case when I visited a Oregon farmer's market while visiting family and I happened upon a Wild Roots booth. Vodka samples? Count me in, right?

Why you should visit Great Wolf Lodge during the off-season
It’s officially been raining *forever* in the Pacific Northwest. Honestly, this is only a slight exaggeration. This year, we had the rainiest winter in decades, and it’s unfortunately leading right into one of the rainiest springs I can remember. I think at this point we’re all very over the grey and drizzle, and I, for one, cannot wait for summer weather to emerge. But sadly, we’re still waiting and the drizzle shows no signs of stopping.So, while we were waiting, we escaped the rain for a bit for a little warm water fun. We didn’t need to fly south or utilize our passports, we just needed to drive a few towns over to visit the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA {in between Portland and Seattle}. These kids didn't know where we were headed until we pulled into the lot at Great Wolf Lodge, and there was a whole lot of screaming once they put together where we were staying.
PNW Bloggers Are Awesome: AKA the Portland PNW Meetup
Sometimes it's not appropriate to brag about who you know. Thank goodness this is not one of those times, because then I would miss out on telling you about the a-mazing event Chelsey, AKA The Paper Mama, threw this weekend that had me in a room with 50 of my most favorite PNW bloggers.
Like, Mandy {Harper's Happenings}, Heather {Joy of all Crafts}, Gretchen {That Mama Gretchen}, etc etc etc…
