When you spend the day at SEA (Seatac airport) and don’t even go anywhere and it’s awesome
February 20, 2025I am often invited to SEA (our airport formerly known as SeaTac and still kind of known as SeaTac but it’s moving towards SEA now) for events because of the blog and instagram and the other day my son and I went for the opening of the last new N concourse shops and restaurants but […]
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 […]
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 […]
Behind the scenes with Cirque Du Soleil Kooza Seattle (at Marymoor Park)
January 26, 2025Just an FYI before you go, Cirque De Soleil Kooza Seattle is not totally in Seattle but in Redmond about 30-ish minutes away (or more) depending on traffic. Also, know before you go that there is a $25 parking fee that can be paid by card or cash and really no other place to park […]
Clockwork Nails at Fairview Market Hall: Robot Nails in Seattle in South Lake Union
January 2, 2025If you’ve been following along with my blog for a while, you know I love robot made things in Seattle. Robot Cotton Candy. Robot Coffee. Even Robot Pizza (I will post this soon, I can’t believe I forgot to post this!). So I’m very excited we now have Robot Nails in Seattle with Clockwork Nails […]
Last minute gifts in Seattle just in case you need some ideas
December 18, 2024Kenmore Air Flight training in Seattle I saw “introductory flight lessons” pop up in my instagram feed and it felt like something my guys might like as a gift and the more I thought about it the more I thought it might be something I would like too. Who wouldn’t want to fly a plane […]
The Back to the Future Musical at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle
December 12, 2024Did you love the Back to the Future movie in the 80’s as a kid? And then of course there was the Back to the Future sequel and maybe there were even more but I’m not too sure-everything in that era ended up with at least a Part 2. But we first saw signs for […]
Wicked the Musical in Seattle

Wicked the Musical is in Seattle until December 1st at the Paramount Theatre and it’s here for multiple […]
If you go to Japan in August you might need waterproof hiking shoes
September 20, 2024Sometimes there are things you don’t always think about needing on a trip when you go to a place with weather vastly different from where you are coming from. On a recent trip to Japan in August my family found out about the typhoon season and how summer rain there can literally come out of […]
Transformers One: an Interview with Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry
September 16, 2024Childhood me who just-a-million-times-more-than-a-teeny-bit wanted to be a reporter one day would have screamed a little if I told her I interviewed Optimus Prime and Megatron this afternoon. And I even got to chat with the two of them in the same room not trying to kill each other. It feels like so many of […]
An interview with Hannah Shankman who is Fanny Brice in the Funny Girl musical coming to Seattle and then all across America
September 12, 2024*just an update* I went to the opening night in Seattle (September 24th) and Hannah’s Fanny Brice was incredible! She literally becomes Fanny Brice: her vocal range is phenomenal, she is hilarious and endearing, the costumes are sensational and this Funny Girl is the type of musical you want to see if you love musicals […]
Poutine is on the menu at Seattle Kraken hockey games this year
September 6, 2024I was invited to Climate Pledge Arena for the media preview of the food scene for this year’s Seattle Kraken season. It’s year four for the Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena and of course my family is very excited about hockey-the first game we ever went to was in December of 2021. Coming from Canada, […]
Why childhood vaccinations are so important for my family (and yours too)
August 30, 2024this is sponsored post about vaccinations on behalf of the Washington State Department of Health. All opinions are my own. I don’t think anybody ever thinks they’re going to get really sick. But about a year and a half ago, I got a diagnosis that ultimately changed my life forever and last year vaccinations became […]
All about the new Museum of Illusions in Seattle
July 18, 2024A few weeks ago I was invited to work with the new Museum of Illusions with my Instagram and I ended up having such a great time I thought I’d share here too. The Museum of Illusions in Seattle is a franchise of a chain of museums that now has around 50 branches around the […]
Have you heard of Del Corazón from Seattle, a meal solution for busy families?
July 2, 2024This is a sponsored post featuring easy meals and sides for Del Corazón. All opinions are my own. I was recently introduced to Del Corazón, a new brand of Latin-inspired frozen entrees and sides from Seattle-based InnovAsian. Because this is a Seattle company, I was instantly intrigued and wanted to try these products with my family. I think they are a […]
All the Strawberry fields near Seattle I was recommended on Threads
June 21, 2024My friend and I took our boys berry picking together maybe 10 years ago and wanted to recreate the day before our giant teens can drive together without us. I thought we would go to Duris Farm, a farm that feels the closest to where we live in Seattle. Unfortunately it wasn’t open the day […]
Books and puzzles for mom for Mother’s Day
May 6, 2024What to buy mom for Mother’s Day? I feel like throughout the year I see a zillion things that would be perfect for my mom, or aunts or special women in my life and then the week gets here and I usually I panic and start searching for something more ‘perfect’. But what really is […]
Something very cool and inclusive about Disney’s Aladdin the Musical in Seattle and I hope we see more of this kind of thing
April 25, 2024Disney’s Aladdin the musical opened last night in Seattle and it’s only here for a very short time and I’ve heard from a few people that it’s really difficult to get tickets right now. I was invited to go for opening night and the theatre was the most bustling I’ve seen it in a while. […]
Deep Sky in IMAX and another movie you might want to see if you have a teen who loves space too
April 15, 2024Sometimes I wonder if 8 years old is around the time you discover who you really are and what you love, and I remember it being one of my favorite years with our twin boys. It’s also around the time I think one of our guys really got into everything airplane and space, so much […]
