So maybe I’m writing this a year later, but alas, it’s documented! We started a new annual back to school tradition of going on an apple picking date together at the local “short orchard” about 15 min from us. (You can view the 2nd Annual Apple Picking Date here.) They grow our favorite Honey Crisp […]

It was our second annual “Back to school apple picking adventure date” prior to school actually starting (Labor Day weekend). We have a favorite cute little “short orchard” (Bells Orchard) about 15 min from us that we pick our very favorite Honey Crisp apples (b/c if it’s not honey crisp, is it even an apple?!) […]

Yep.. my second son is now days away from turning TWO and I’m just now writing his birth story.  No judging, please.  When we were originally told his estimated due date, (7/7/17) my husband was really holding out for a 4th of July baby. I just laughed, because our first son was born 2 weeks […]

Doing your own kid’s newborn portraits is quite far from “easy”.  What you don’t see is the bucket of sweat from me, and the thousands of breaks we took to soothe baby Noah, who was a literal angel until it was time to do these portraits and he was not a happy camper at the […]

The summer we first moved up to Oregon (and I turned 30) we rented this adorable “small home” in a gorgeous hidden gem neighborhood in Lincoln City for a couple nights. It was the perfect size. Then, we grew (added a busy baby who was on the move crawling + our once small toddler was […]

Last night we had our first Little League practice of the season. Brady has been SO excited for the season to start. This was the first year we didn’t do a Fall sport, but it was so nice since he was starting Kindergarten to allow for that adjustment/transition instead of cramming out schedule FULL of […]

The excitement I have for the upcoming Spring/Summer hiking season is massive! It seems the last few summers we’ve always had “something” holding us back a bit like injuries, pregnancy, newborn, etc… It seems like this is our first Summer that we’re really ready to just plow through a huge list of hikes/outdoor adventures. We’ve […]

It’s become an annual tradition that when we visit the Oregon Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival I break out my shorts for the first time since the previous Summer. For some reason it’s worked out perfectly and been incredibly beautiful weather whenever we visit in March!!! You wouldn’t know it, but it was super windy last […]
