I started doing a “favorite things” list a few years ago and thought I’d keep it going this year by adding some new stuff I’ve come to love recently. Beauty Blender makeup sponge LaVazza coffee Costco Biscotti – ok, so my mornings start with a hope of 10 minutes to drink my cup of LaVazza …

Building the Lodge: Fireplace & Details
The countdown is really on now! Alex and I have shifted from thinking about big picture items and decisions at The Lodge to narrowing our focus on the finishing details and moving in. It is finally starting to feel like our move in date is approaching – and it really is! We’re within two months …
Hannah is Four Months Old!
Happy Thanksgiving! Our sweet baby girl is growing, growing, growing and is now four months old! I’ve gotten to the point where I gush about how teeny tiny brand new babies are because Hannah is just getting so darn big. I can’t believe how quickly you forget how little they start out. We don’t have …
Building the Lodge: Paint!
On a recent trip out to The Lodge, Alex and I needed to confirm our hardwood floors {we’re going with a #2 knotty white oak with a clear coat and 5″ floorboards} and do a walk through of the house with the tile guys. It was a big day out there and I suspect we’ll …
Lately
Life has been a liiiiittle crazy around here lately. I’ve heard people say one {kid} is like none and two is like 20 {or insert other high number here} – I definitely don’t think that’s the case for us; however, the transition of me going back to work and our childcare and logistics of life …
Back to Work!
Two weeks ago my blissful maternity leave came to an end and I went back to work. I’m fortunate that I really enjoy my job and the people I work with, but still, it wasn’t easy. I was able to take three full months off with Hannah and it was so special to have that …
Fall Family Fun
The weather in Seattle this fall has been perfection. We’ve been savoring the crisp, cool mornings and getting so much joy from the stunning fall colors painted in the trees around us. Washington is so beautiful any day of the year, but it seems like our surroundings are extra special in the fall. We have …
Trick-or-Treat!
This was Ben’s second Halloween doing trick-or-treating. In Seattle it’s really common for kids to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood business districts – many of the local shops, restaurants, banks and other stores open up their doors and hand out candy for the kiddos. It’s pretty neat and it really draws a crowd. There are some …
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from my little Cubbies! I’ll post more photos after trick or treating tonight.
Mama’s 10K
Last weekend I ran a 10K! That’s just over 6 miles. I wasn’t as prepared for it as I had hoped, but I still did it and I ran the whole time! The first half I had my little cheerleader along with me for the ride {he did the riding – I did the pushing!}, …
