This little car-loving guy spied something fun on the counter and asked me to get it down "so he could hug it". Clearly, he's got me all figured out. And then he noticed a second Motorworks customizable wooden toy car on the counter and of course he wanted that one, too. Because, you know, "they … Read more
For Mother’s Day last year my husband surprised my daughter and I with a day at the salon to go get pedicures and manicures together. Since she was only 3 years old at the time, I called ahead and asked if there was a fume- and chemical-free place to bring her and then asked about … Read more
I'm a Step2 Test Drive Blogger and I chose these awesome new Step2 sand toys to review this spring. My kids could sit on a beach all day long. Even when the water is freezing cold and there’s no way they will swim, they still like to sit on the beach and play in the … Read more
It’s finally springtime and with it comes sunshine, warmer weather, and… allergies. Like most everyone else, I have plans to sneak in some deep cleaning over the next few days, open up some windows, and get my house and yard ready for summer. Is anyone else worried about me and my allergies? Really, you should … Read more

We try and go biking, hiking, and exploring whenever possible, but when we’re not able to do that, we simply walk everywhere. With spring weather slowly arriving in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve … Read more
My daughter is constantly picking up crocheted and knit items she finds and asking me if I could possibly “yarn this” for her myself. As much as I agree that whatever knit scarf/hat/owl/monkey that she holds up is cute, what she doesn’t understand is that I have never created anything out of yarn that I … Read more
I constantly have my camera out, so I love my kids to wear coordinating outfits most days so they don’t clash with each. For this reason, I’m a huge fan of Gymboree’s mix and match collections that come out each season. I love visiting one of the many Gymboree stores near me and grabbing a few things … Read more
Were you following along on Twitter and Facebook a few weeks ago as I hosted the #SeattleBaby shower for new and expecting mom bloggers in the Seattle area? I was so grateful so many local bloggers turned out at the event to welcome all the new little babies and thrilled that so many of you … Read more
I honestly thought all bread was pretty much the same until I went to Europe the first time. One bite into those preservative-free made-fresh-daily baguettes and I realized I was very, very wrong about bread. It turns out good bread can make a gourmet meal faster than just about anything else in the pantry. Whenever … Read more
