How excited am I to try my first candle from P.F. Candle Co. in LA? Ahhh so excited!! The packaging was thoughtful, there was a hand-written message on the card, and they sent a couple of tealights with other scents to try. Overall, a really stellar product experience and I’m encouraged to try out more […]

As the clock ticked past 4pm today a co-worker strolled by my desk and plopped down one of my favorite summer delights, grapefruit beer. There was a wrap party going on in our kitchen and he snagged the last one to surprise me. I have to say it was just the perfect way to finish […]
When I was growing up, we’d spend just about every summer out in the Pacific Northwest. My Dad would teach and perform at music festivals (sometimes my mom too!) and we’d spend the glorious summer months in some of the most beautiful and scenic places around. We primarily stayed in Seattle, a small little island […]
Restaurants, cafes, bars and coffee shops have always delighted me beyond the food and drink. I love the architecture, design, and style of spaces and how it all comes together to give you a terrific experience. I’m making it a point to start documenting some of that inspiration. Here are a couple recent snaps from […]
Somehow, ever so quickly we have arrived at August. I’m an optimist so I still think we’ve got a couple more good months of awesome weather around here. With any luck we’ll dip into some October beauty as well. For now though, I’m enjoying every droplet from growing tomatoes on my balcony to swimming in […]
There’s something about seeing the sliver of sky through a long hallway of buildings. The evening light last night was bouncing all over with a warm glow. I just had to keep a little bit of it.
One of the best things about having pretty great friends is that they do some pretty great things. Like, ‘oh we’re having a baby…let’s all go have some delicious food and beer and hang out for a bit to celebrate’. Today’s rad friend award goes to soon-to-be-parents, the Rittenmyers. Essentials for this shindig included cornhole, a hilarious game […]
I love it when friends come to visit because it’s just another excuse to try a new place you haven’t been to yet. My list remains lengthy. In my year away (while in SF), so many spots cropped up in Seattle I have yet to try. Coffee and wine shop Vif in Fremont is one such […]
I rarely end up in a window seat these days. By some strange bit of chance this morning I ended up in the perfect window seat in front of the wing and was treated to a glimpse at Seattle’s sleeping giant, Mt. Rainier. Sometimes a change in perspective is all you need.
