The flowers that come from spring rains are many people’s favorite part of the season, when everything that was old and withered is new once again. April is a magical month in Washington state. The sun stays up longer everyday and happiness levels go up, supplying us with more Vitamin D and opportunities to enjoy [...]
You guys! Spring is finally here! There's no better feeling then coming out of a long cold (rainy) winter and into beautiful spring. Living in Seattle for over 10 years, I have yet to visit the University of Washington's Cherry Blossoms...crazy huh! So when I heard that the Yoshino cherry trees will reach their gorgeous, [...]
Rain, wind, and more rain is the best way to describe winter days in the Pacific Northwest. Our day trip to Deception Pass was just that...a typical Pacific Northwest winter day with a bit of sunshine! We started our adventure in Mukiteo (about 30 minutes north of Seattle) and caught the short ferry across the [...]
I’m celebrating another birthday this weekend. More specifically, I’m celebrating my 35th birthday this weekend. When I turned 30, I hit what I thought was my scary age.

We drove out to JP Landscape Tree Farm in Duvall, Washington which offers 10-acre of locally grown u-cut, fresh cut, and live Christmas trees! We got there early Saturday morning, it was sprinkling out so we managed to get the whole [...]

Today is Labor Day and my friend and I decided to go hiking! We wanted something easy and rewarding and what we stumbled upon was Franklin Falls! It's 1.2 miles each way and there's only about 400 feet elevation gain, so it's great for beginners or those with pets or children. The trail is well [...]
I’m a city girl through and through, but ever since my first camping trip about six years ago - I can’t get enough of packing up the tent, hitting the road and heading off to a beautiful destination. For this trip, we ended up going to Lost Lake in Cle Elum which is about a [...]
This is a beautiful hike! Great for families, kids, and puppies! The trail starts out fairly flat, with a bit of an incline toward the end. The trail is very shaded until you get to the very end, where you spill out into an open, rocky area with a view of the Big Four Ice [...]
