Sounders Style

October 6, 2011

A couple weeks ago we went to our last Sounders game of the year-it’s been a lot of fun going to the games and it’s so awesome seeing all the bright green gear around town on game days. Our last game was quite cold, but the guys were thrilled because the stadium was giving out […]

Make your own Uncrustables

October 5, 2011

My toddlers love the Smuckers Uncrustables and they’re really great for when we eat on the go. I keep them in the freezer for days when I don’t have a lot of time. But when I do, I prefer using my own bread, so I was really thrilled when my sister found me this panda […]

A dare

October 3, 2011

A couple months ago, I came upon this picture and shared it. Then someone, (you know who you are) gave me an idea: Here you are S. It isn’t quite as cute without newborns, and my heart looks a little lopsided. But sometimes things are all about the journey: admin

Best Bagels in America! (Eltana Bagel, Capitol Hill, WA)

October 2, 2011

Looks like the Bean was right about this place, it is definitely drool-worthy. The food world thinks Eltana Bagels is pretty amazing too, apparently they are the best bagels in America! My favorite is the salt bagel. The boys love the plain. And we all love the honey-almond cream cheese. We stopped in this morning […]

Great Airplane Books for Toddlers

August 9, 2011

Right now, the boys are definitely in love with airplane books, and here are a few we have been reading to prep for some upcoming getaways: Airplane Flight has lift-up flaps and a catchy-rhyme-y story. The boys love the part where the plane flies around a storm. The Bean was awake when we went through […]

Tigh-na-Mara (Parksville, Vancouver Island)

January 30, 2011

When I booked this trip, I never imagined how much of an impact it was going to make on our lives-the above pic is now hanging in our living room! My friend S had just gone to the Tigh-Na-Mara resort with her husband and raved about a fabulous spa dining experience and I found a […]

first time cutting a christmas tree near north bend

U-Cut Trees at Christmas Creek(North Bend, WA)

November 28, 2010

Early Saturday morning we headed up to North Bend Washington to try cutting down a Christmas tree for the very first time. We didn’t do much research for this endeavor, so when we saw “Christmas Creek” had a working website, was 3o minutes from Seattle and had a decent “Yelp“(albeit from 3 years ago!) we […]

High Five Fish (Seattle Aquarium, Seattle, WA)

November 19, 2010

You never know where you’re going to see something truly remarkable. Here’s the High Five Fish at the Seattle Aquarium. I should have looked at what it’s really called, but you can find it in the back area with the Sea Horses. We visited him last week and every time the guys put their thumbs […]
