Day 1: Admit it, we all loved that day in computer class when you were finally allowed to play Oregon Trail, even though your oxen drowned in the river, Indians raided your food supply and your family died of horrible diseases and you had to leave them behind. Our trek through the Columbia River Gorge began after a scenic drive down from Seattle. My friend Jordan … Continue reading the oregon trail
Day 1: Charlene flew in to join us for the second half of the great PNW adventure, and it really made up for leaving the treehouse. Even though she was suffering from jet lag, we immediately forced her to set out on sightseeing in the Emerald City. We tried to go up in the Space Needle, but per usual on our trip it closed early. It … Continue reading sights of seattle
If you’ve ever seen Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters, you know Pete Nelson is a bonified genius. The man connects with the trees (seriously, angelic music plays when he walks in the forest) and builds amazing fortresses that defy gravity and suburbia. In planning our great adventure, his unique treehouse hotel, Treehouse Point, was definitely on our list. Treehouse Point is only about 30 minutes outside … Continue reading treehouse on point

Ah springtime…budding flowers, warmer weather, and bridal shower after bridal shower. My wedding will not be anytime soon because I require the $15,000 Tiffany Soleste Halo engagement ring, but I do have a lot of slightly less high-maintenance friends getting married this year, so I live vicariously through them. Banner: When my friend Jill told me the banner she wanted to order for her cousin’s … Continue reading april showers
I love cooking with fresh herbs, but they can be so expensive at the grocery store and even the local farmer’s market. Plus isn’t it a pain when you just need a few leaves of sage, but have to buy the whole package? I’ve tried to keep indoor herb gardens in the past with no luck– even though I appreciate gardening, I have a black … Continue reading call for a good thyme
Easter is the hot mess of all the holidays, with bunnies carrying eggs, a menu of ham and chocolate and the constantly changing date (seriously…can it just be in April all the time?!?) If you aren’t Catholic, or don’t have kids, chances are Easter is just another Sunday. But for ME, the Holiday Queen, Easter is the perfect opportunity to hard boil a few dozen eggs … Continue reading hip hop
Yes, I am one of those freaks that celebrates her dogs’ birthdays, and IDGAF. I recently read an article on 5 ways to spoil your dog and was proud to say I am guilty of all of them. Our pets give us so much unconditional love that the least we can do is spoil them a little bit (or a lot) once in a while! … Continue reading every dog has his day
