This is a gorgeous building and my favorite part was EVERYTHING inside was made of wood…the dining room table, the coffee tables, and even the bunk beds !!! The entire home was comfy cozy. It was 25 degrees [...]

HALLOWEENTOWN!
As I was scrolling through Facebook, I came across a Buzzfeed article where the lovely Oregon town of St. Helens transforms into the classic 1998 Disney film “Halloweentown”! In honor of the movie, the town holds an October month-long ‘Spirit of Halloweentown’ celebration . Ecstatic, I immediately made plans to St. Helens to re-live one [...]
THIS SCHOOL-HOUSE ROCKS!
While visiting Halloweentown in St. Helens, we found this 100 year old schoolhouse to be right up our alley for accommodations! Thanks Airbnb! Our wonderful hosts, Jason and Diane have turned a historic 2-room schoolhouse into a charming and unique B&B. The entire house has high ceilings, good natural ventilation, and excellent natural lighting. The [...]

My amazing 4th of July weekend consisted of…a beautiful beach house, fishing, BBQ, fireworks, drinking games, sun bathing, and a dirty 30 birthday celebration.

THE PERFECT LIL POOL HOUSE
This Fourth of July weekend was one of the best I’ve had so far! I can clearly remember last year pretty well because it was during the time I had my first surgery. So being well off than last year, I wanted to make the best of this holiday. Luckily a friend had a pool [...]

I took a mini getaway to San Francisco to attend Leila’s 3rd birthday party. With the sun out, the bouncy castle up, the arrival of the magical unicorn, and the musician playing all the party hits, it was a perfect day for a princess party. Later that evening, we headed to Marin Brewery. This was [...]

There was not as much snow as last year, but we still had a awesome time at the cabin. homemade chocolate chip cookies...delish! .foosball.video [...]

After several visits to my sister and her family in New Mexico, I was determined to finally make a trip out to Santa Fe. I heard so many great things about the town I was not about to leave without visiting this historic city. First stop was New Mexico’s History Museum. The rich history of [...]
