Weekend Getaway: Walla Walla Fall Wine Release

Walla Walla is one of my go-to options for girl’s weekends. I’ve been three times in the last couple years, which pretty much makes me a local, right? ;) Last year my best friend and I went for the fall wine release in November and

For mother’s day this year (my second one ever!) I wanted to take our daughter Milly to the beach for the first time, so we planned a very last minute trip to the Washington coast with my parents. It was fast, but we had a

This weekend my husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! We kept it simple and went to Chelan for brunch at Riverwalk Cafe. I’d never been and it did not disappoint. I loved the “order at the window and then go find your seat”

Did you know there’s a beautiful lavender farm in Quincy, WA? If your answer is no, then my response is I didn’t either. This is one of the reasons I love social media. I follow Burch Mountain BBQ on instagram, and they posted about Flower Fest, happening

At the end of April my husband and I had a weekend getaway in Walla Walla, WA. (Our first weekend away from the baby!) It was nothing short of amazing and full of great food and great wine. I’m already planning a girl’s weekend so 

Camping at Alta Lake

Camping at Alta Lake

Camping is a PNW staple. I love camping near a body of water. The ocean, a lake, a river, a stream – I’ll take them all. I also like camping near a bathroom, I’m not going to lie. When we took our dogs camping a
