We celebrated NYE at Daniel's Broiler in Bellevue. It was such a fun evening being surrounded by dear friends and love ones! Avery had a little too much fun playing with his cousins and the first time we actually let him stay up wayyyy past his bedtime! It was totally worth the hug and kisses [...]
For two whole months, Avery has been asking for a kitchen! Every time we looked at the Target toy catalog, he always points to the kitchen or some kind of kitchen supplies. We go on Amazon to look at kitchen designs as well as watch videos of kids playing kitchen on YouTube! We keep saying [...]
Another successful year of visiting Santa Claus with no tears! So glad that Avery and Santa got to chat a bit and walked away with a big Santa hug!

Another gorgeous day of exploring Portugal! Belém Tower is synonymous with Lisbon and Portugal. If you have browsed pictures of Lisbon you would have no doubt seen this 15th Century tower that sits on the bank of the Tagus River. Attractions, museums, monasteries and defensive towers adorn the Lisbon neighborhood of Belém. Belém in Portuguese [...]
Perched high above Alfama is the breathtaking Castelo de São Jorge, located on top of the tallest of Lisbon's seven hills in the historic centre of the Alfama's old Moorish quarter. With breathtaking views and plenty of historical charm, Castelo de São Jorge was a must stop for us while in Lisbon. Dating back to [...]
I have never been to West Point Lighthouse until recently and immediately fell in love with the picturesque scene! Currently part of the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, the West Point Lighthouse at Discovery Park is close to home, has amazing hiking trails, great views of Seattle, and of course the lighthouse itself. We [...]
This years costume theme is "Let Love Bloom"! I dressed up Andre as a farmer; scored his farmers overalls at Carhartt and purchased some gardening tools over at Goodwill. For Avery, I dressed him up as a gnome and purchased his costume off Amazon. He wouldn't keep the beard on, but who cold blame him [...]
Trunk-or-treat is pretty new to me, but it’s been around for about 15 years now. Many suburban and rural areas opt for these events for safety reasons, or because of a lack of close neighbors to do actual trick-or-treating. Trunk-or-treat events can be large, almost like a school fun fair, with lots of games and [...]
Avery is an train fanatic and when I came across the Mt. Rainier Railroad & Logging Museum’s Great Pumpkin Patch Express, I knew that this was the Fall activity of the century!!! I purchased the First Class ticket so that we can all be a bit more comfortable. We boarded the mid-century 1940s Olympian Hiawatha [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that a trip to Sacramento was never really on the top of my bucket list. My main reason to go to Sacramento was that Andre had an work event to go to. I went into my stay thinking there would be no way I’d write a blog post on [...]
A trip to San Francisco isn't complete without riding a cable car. We caught the cable car at the Fisherman’s Wharf and took the Powell-Hyde line which according to most San Franciscans is the most exciting trip to take and we wholeheartedly agree!
