25+ things to do in Seattle in the spring
Fall and summer in Seattle may get all the glory, but spring around the Seattle area is something quite spectacular, too. With flowers, greenery, and gorgeous light, babies animals to visit, enjoyable beaches, and road trips galore, there’s so much to see and do during a Seattle spring.
It’s tulip time, Washington
It’s time for tulips, Washington State! It’s one of my favorite spring traditions and this year we got lucky and somehow missed all the crowds and almost had the field to ourselves.
Lunchbox love: origami paper towels
The new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels with perforated quarter-size sheets makes it easy to add to lunches and fold into all sorts of shapes – use the full sheet, a half sheet, or a quarter sheet. I may never be able to pull off the themed lunches that circulate the internet, but I can make any lunch *seem* themed by the simple addition of Brawny® origami.
The perfect first gift with Corolle dolls
We’re so excited to celebrate Corolle’s 40th birthday this year, especially since many of those years I’ve personally shared in the Corolle love. We’re officially a second-generation Corolle family, sharing the sweet vanilla scented love of their adorable baby dolls and fun accessories for all ages and stages.
Here comes the Easter bunny with the Steiff Candy Rabbit
We fell in love with Steiff while expecting our first, and the first thing we bought for her was a special Steiff bear. That special bear has now been joined by dozens of friends on her shelf, and it’s one of our favorite things to collect as a family. I love that each animal or piece is representative of a certain season or specific time, and the newest Candy Rabbit from Steiff is sure to become a beloved friend as well.

Power whenever and wherever you need it with myCharge
I met with myCharge at CES and was so excited about what I saw – they literally have a portable and convenient way to charge anything with a cord. Lipstick sized, cell phone sized, or book sized, they have it all and it can keep just about any electronic charged and ready to go. You never realize how dependent you are on electricity until the power flickers and you experience that moment of sheer panic.

MAXIMUS Smart Security Light: all-in-one light and camera
The newly released MAXIMUS Smart Security Light is so much more than an outdoor lighting fixture that happens to have a camera. Their Smart Security Light is beautiful in its own right, with 4 different models to choose from that can match just about any house exterior {Coach, Contemporary, Craftsman and Traditional}. The Smart Security Light also has two-way talk so you can engage in live conversation or play a message every time someone is detected. Add in the fact that it’s easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician or damage the exterior of your house, and it’s not hard to see why we love it so.
Monster Jam back in Seattle again
I was super excited when the opportunity arose to take my own kids to see Monster Jam’s return to Seattle after a 20 year absence. I had really wanted to take them to see Monster Jam in neighboring towns, but we never were able to make it happen. After seeing the show live this weekend, all I can say is that we should have gone sooner.
