Mondays
Just in case you’re looking ahead for your Seattle weekend with kids on a Monday
August 18, 2014Waking up to sun in my eyes this Monday was definitely not the worst thing in the world, but Monday is Monday and after a weekend of hiking, good food, indulging and friends, it was still a little hard to wake up. Luckily for us in Seattle, there are many fabulous things to look forward […]

Supermoon inspired shopping and easing into back to school on a Monday
August 11, 2014Seeing as we haven’t had clouds in the sky forever, we had great views of the supermoon last night at the Seattle Sounders game and even though I couldn’t help but sneak a few last minute purchases during the horrible first half from the Gap friends and family sale (Did anyone score anything amazing? I […]

Shopping things I’ve been asked about lately barely making it on a Monday
July 22, 2014Whew. Now that was definitely a weekend. I’ve barely started to put away the decorations from my guys’ birthday but it’s shopping Monday and since shopping is the one thing that gets me through most Mondays the decorations can wait. I’ve been asked a lot about my shopping purchases lately so I totally thought I’d […]

What I’m buying the Monday after camping the July 4th weekend now that it’s finally summer
July 7, 2014We can finally say it’s summer in Seattle. We completed our first camping trip in the Olympic National Park and the boys had a fantastic time. Me, I’m still a little wary about having only nylon protecting me from the wild outdoors, so I was really happy that our site (Willaby Campground if you’re curious-I’ll […]

10 loves on a Monday
June 16, 2014Oh, Monday. I need to list it today so that this wonderfulness gets out, but oh, how I’m feeling a case of the “is it 5-o-clock yet?” Mondays…. Today we love the USA. Not just because it’s fabulous, but because at 3pm two of our Seattle Sounders are playing in the World Cup. And you […]

Spring breakups on a fake Monday after a weekend of cleaning
May 27, 2014Just in case you thought it was all happy shopping here all the time, I have a confession. Because we order more online than most in this house, (the boxes show up here daily…) we get a lot of purchase mistakes. And because there’s been a string of them lately that have been costly in […]

Local love on a Monday
May 19, 2014Happy Monday lovelies! I can hardly wait for the boys to go to school this morning because this book arrived in the mail this weekend and I haven’t had a chance to open it and read it yet. I love star signs and the fact that these Astrologers are twins is something very cool to […]

Because men are so much harder to shop for on a Monday
May 12, 2014You know how when you go to any big box store the minute Halloween is over you are already too late to buy Christmas things because Valentine’s Day stuff has already thrown itself up all over it? Well, that is how I feel about Father’s Day. ALL the men in the family (especially my grandpa!) […]

Sniffly Monday Shoe Shopping
March 31, 2014Usually I love Mondays. The kids are at school. The house is semi-clean. I have a little time to myself for running, grocery shopping and starting the week. But today I’m a little sniffly and all I want to do is cuddle up in a bed with a warm blanket and a cup of tea […]

They’ve (sort-of)seen London, They’ve (sort-of) seen France (Family Travel Europe Research)
March 24, 2014Long ago when I was pregnant with my guys, we visited London and France to see my two besties who were living overseas. I can’t believe how much life has changed since then! Then last year, I went back to see S who was still there for a quick 3 night trip, my first away […]

Things I love this Green Monday
March 17, 2014Somehow holidays sneak up on me. Everything sneaks up on me lately because things have just become so busy and between the kids’ school, the cabin plans, our upcoming Europe trip, the hubby’s work and just trying to survive daily life stuff, it sometimes feels like I just can’t keep up. I didn’t have grand […]

Pedicures and Shopping on a Stormy Monday
March 3, 2014It is very luxe to spend a Monday out of the cold and I can’t imagine a better place to do it than a lovely place where my toes come out all shimmery and divine. My go-to nail parlor is always Julep-I’ve been going here for years for pedicures. I love their colors and their […]

Rainy Shopping on what should be a snowy Monday and a new direction for next year
February 24, 2014There was a little piece of me that was hoping for snow today instead of liquid sunshine, but at least the warmer weather means that we’ll be able to start planting outside soon. I’ve been successful with my old food garden-you can grow all sorts of vegetable tops-except I can’t get avocado seeds to grow […]

Wheel-y Awesome Find on a Monday
February 18, 2014How have I never seen this before? And how has the hubby not seen it and tried to buy one yet? For the longest time in college, my husband commuted by scooter and then he finally joined the Seattle bike commuter ranks last year. But this? I saw this on our drive to Costco this […]

Seattle Post-game shopping on a Monday
February 3, 2014Although yesterday was an epic sports battle for our beloved football team, this morning is a true test for me. Did I manage to get a goldentote order? (The site broke!) Did I get my lulu lemon run entry? (YES!!!!!!) And am I going to get the Seattle Seahawk Superbowl champion shirts? Probably not. But […]

New Year, new Monday wants
January 6, 2014It’s the first Monday of the New Year and I woke up to this beautiful sunrise and the kids and I spent the morning coloring Vancouver Canucks coloring sheets and talking about the Seahawks. Ugh. I totally have sports fans in this house. And since it’s so early in the year, the only things I’ve […]

Last Monday of the Year: shopping cliffhangers
December 30, 2013In the new year I’m totally going to have to make some shopping choices because I can’t buy EVERYTHING (even though I want to) and I would like to cut down on some clutter in my life and there is definitely an abundance of STUFF in this world and I don’t want to buy unnecessarily.

Chilly Monday Shopping Wishes
December 9, 2013We have been on snowflake watch all morning and though we’ve seen a bunch of puffy clouds hanging in the chilly air we haven’t even had one teeny flake yet. I’ve been putting off today’s run because I’m so freezing cold. Hopefully some new running attire might help. I love my Athleta pants I bought […]

Just a little Monday shopping
December 2, 2013Yeah. Just shopping a little today. You know. Cyber-Monday. Take it or leave it, right? I might buy a little. Or maybe I’ve bought a lot. But I have been shopping and I’m trying not to let all these sales excite me too much. I’m a little wary that the fitbit my hubby bought me […]
