Are you headed through SeaTac airport any time soon? I totally wish I was! We are finally getting our air travel plans for the new year together but until then I need to travel vicariously through anyone who gets to go on a trip in the next little while. I recently visited the airport not […]

I had a year’s membership to the Living Computer museum and I didn’t even know this museum existed. Because we had a MoPop membership we kept seeing information that it included a year to the Living Computers Museum and Labs. For some reason I thought it would be just a place that grownups could go […]

I have created this post in partnership with PrAna and the ideas and opinions are my own. Sometimes you find a brand that just clicks right with your soul.

As I frantically scan the internet and virtually shop for cyber Monday deals, I’m wondering how many people truly opted outside for Black Friday? Do we really hate shopping all that much or is there is a difference between shopping to see innovative and beautiful things and shopping aimlessly hoping to get a deal on […]

Who else is trying to find more ways to give the gift of an experience rather than something tangible this year? As someone who gets a lot of joy from adventuring, I’m always on a quest for a way to share this with the people I love too. I was really excited when I heard […]

Doesn’t it feel like we have the whole world at our fingertips lately? I so love Instagram and the community it creates. Last week I was at Costco and I saw an awesome-looking snack from Nature Valley and I wasn’t sure if I should buy it. I asked about it in my Instagram Stories and […]

I am going to have to overhaul my bedroom. This all started with an invite I received in my email from Tuft and Needle for the opening of its brand new Seattle store.

Forgive me if I never realized that Boston Massachusetts was a family travel destination. On a flight in August this summer I almost thought we had mistakenly boarded a flight to Disneyland instead of Logan international as the flight was packed with families headed to the East Coast. Why were so many people traveling to […]

I used to dread the period between October and February a little in the Pacific Northwest. The days get shorter and we go for weeks on end with chilly, wet, dreary weather. During stretches like this it’s easy to wonder if we’ll ever see sun-filled days again. But then a few years ago we went […]

There are so many world-renowned businesses that have their roots in Seattle and when I see their names in other places when we travel it’s hard to believe that these companies ever started small. When I drive past the zulily headquarters on the way to Pike Place Market, this business is no different. I remember […]

One of my favorite parts of travel is that you get to stay somewhere that is NOT your home and through our travels we have stayed in many different types of accomodations. Before we had kids, we used to camp a lot. If I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, […]
