My husband pulled off an epic surprise Christmas present to me this year: a 2 night getaway to a mountain cabin near Mt. hood.  He even arranged for my mom and her twin to come up from Texas and take care of the boys while we were gone. The “cabin” (which I totally imagined a […]

This is the second year in a row that when my mom was visiting from Texas we got incredible weather at the coast IN FEBRUARY. It was a fun little day trip with just the boys, myself and my mom. I even got a chance to drone a bit! Of course it was MY kid […]

It’s that time of year… when your little petri dish kids bring all the germs home & so generously share them with you. Here are some of my current favorite immune boosters and goodies we use during the cold & flu season & how to get your hands on them. (There’s a couple suggestions that […]

It was gorgeous full sun warm weather when I took the boys up to Plumper Pumpkin to pick out a pumpkin (of course Brady chose the LARGEST one he could barely pick up). We met some friends up there and ventured around for a bit. We snacked on freshly made pumpkin cinnamon donuts and cider. […]

Summer to me is about filling our time with visiting as many local farms to pick our own produce & adventure in the gorgeous Oregon outdoors. As a Texas girl living in Oregon, it’s not lost on me that we can adventure at all times of the day and (mostly) not worry about having a […]

Let me start by saying I got to ride in a golf cart for an hour so it was an AWESOME day. We started Zane’s Senior portrait session at the Tualatin Country Club, where he works and plays frequently, when he’s not captaining the Tigard High School Golf team.  I photographed his brother a couple […]

How is it already almost Fall?  This Summer flew by in lighting speed for me… anyone else? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Fall in the PNW a lot, but I also LIVE for the Summer up here, so to see it go is a little sad for me.   Anyway, I’m excited to announce the […]
