You see, I am one half of the team behind the BoneBat… Read the rest →
With nice weather just around the corner (fingers crossed), it’s time to get outside! As a new mom my hobby is now finding parks that are stroller friendly and offer fun things to see and do. I have a very curious little one, who not only loves to feel the grass on her tiny toes, but she loves to… Read the rest →
Just weeks ago Puxatawny Phil saw his shadow and, much to the nation’s disappointment, we were thus assured six more weeks of winter.

My daughters and I are festival fanatics and staycation experts. So this year, at the last minute, we decided that our July 2009 “staycation” would coincide with Redmond’s Derby Days, a festival we’ve made it a point to hit for the last five years in a row. Redmond calls itself the bicycle capital of the NW and if the turnout… Read the rest →

Is that the Sun? A Pacific Northwest morning arrives crisp and clean with brilliant blue skies overhead and the promises of spring underfoot. The sun is a welcome sight after four months of snow, snow, rain, snow, wind, snow and more snow. I find myself already making plans to take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather ahead.
