May 19, 2025I recently went to my first Seattle Mariners game of the year with friends and the day had started out so cloudy and rainy we were more than excited when the sky cleared up and we had an open roof for the game. I’m not the biggest baseball fan but I do love going to […]

May 17, 2025If you are new to the blogging/instagram space you might wonder if we can actually pay our bills with income from work in this realm. And yes, it is definitely possible but it’s a lot of work and sometimes uncertainty too. I’ve been working as a blogger/influencer/creator for over 15 years part-time and it’s been […]

Six the Musical with Broadway in Seattle and why you should see it when it heads to your town
May 13, 2025The first time I saw Six the Musical I didn’t give it a fair chance. It was on the same night Taylor Swift was in the city and I did not have tickets to Taylor Swift. And nothing else should be playing in any city on a night Taylor Swift is in town. Fast forward […]

Maybe the most peaceful oasis in Seattle Center is the Bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass
May 8, 2025I often forget to tell people to go to the Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle Center. It’s a really gorgeous museum but it’s also a little spendy (and it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to visit) so it’s hard to put on a must see list. But it really should be. Dale […]

April 23, 2025Since having kids, months seem to fly by and please don’t ask me what the actual day is today, I only know it’s a soccer day, or a late pickup day or a one of the teens is driving so we are down one car today kind of day. But also it is April and […]

Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle and beyond
April 18, 2025I don’t know why I thought that Life of Pi would be a one person play. And I really meant to re-read the novel before I went to the media night for Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle this past week. But of course, life gets in the way of things like this, and […]

All about perfect Seattle mornings walking the Overlook Walk to Waterfront Park from Pike Place Market
March 27, 2025It’s the end of March, and I feel like Seattleites have been more than lucky to have the Overlook Walk and Waterfront Park pretty much to ourselves this winter.

The Last 5 years and going to a play at the ACT theatre in Seattle
February 14, 2025Theatre has such an interesting unspoken contract that we don’t seem to have anywhere else anymore. Without explicit instructions, we know to find our seats and tuck ourselves carefully into place without jostling the chairs around us all the while clutching jackets, handbags, and programs quietly into our laps. When the lights darken we grow […]

February 12, 2025I was not expecting a pool to be the reason I want to go back to Chicago and stay at this exact hotel again one day. And I never realized that as a grownup that pools would be so important to my hotel stays-it was so important when our kids were small. But there is […]

Broadway in Seattle 2025/2026 season musical list (and who else is so excited about the Notebook?)
February 2, 2025I still remember when the Notebook was the opening night movie for SIFF at a fancy theatre downtown and I had no idea I would cry my eyes out and neither did the group of mascara stained ladies I met in the bathroom at intermission either. So I practically squealed when I saw that the […]
