This weekend we visited the biggest goodwill in the world or supposedly that’s what the locals say - 7yo (yes she’s seven now) is still stealing dads hats

This year has been the literal worst and best year of my life but moving to Seattle has been on the better part of the list Still coming to terms that one of the people I want to share this experience with is no longer around

Yesterday I made homemade enchilada sauce with tomatillos from the farmers market and then made sweet potato and black bean enchiladas 😋

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.. I’m overwhelmed, behind and stressed and wishing for it to be Christmas vacation already

Happy Halloween friends

Blazers on the tv, some good soup with crusty bread, a dog sitting on my feet and a cozy fire 🔥… really what more could I want for a Sunday evening ?

Tried to get a nice fall toasted marshmallow photo unsuccessfully 🤣🤭

#vettix for the win

Had to visit the pines while at the Moda

Happy Sunday

If we go on a trip you already know where we are going to go - Lincoln City Dad decided to go to a bachelor trip so mom and the 6yo took off to the coast for the long weekend

My favorite end of day cuddle bug

This book is a great book about counting by 2/5/10s for kids but also I don’t like that the statement by my 6yo after reading was “mom you’re 32 which is basically 100” Me .. excuse me 🤣 - 6yo “ yeah if you count by 10s 30 is really fast to count to 100” I am unwell

Trying to decide which headshot after the conference last week I like best 🤔

Sunday farmers market haul .. the 6yo requested berries and we are making creamy butternut squash and gnocchi soup for soup Sunday today 👏🏻

Best part of football 🏈

I love being a parent .. my 6yo came home with her first library trip from school and I got to learn more in 30 minutes about black holes and space than I have in 32 years of life 🤣🔭🚀 she wanted to read them the minute she got off the bus

My latest project because I don’t even have to count it’s just mindless stitching

If it’s a holiday there is a 99 percent chance you’ll find us on the beach in Lincoln City

Alexa … play stick season

Farmers market visit was a success now making a roasted vegetable soup with my veggie haul .. still have to figure out what dessert I want to do with the peaches 🍑

And just like that we have a 1st grader

The 6yo loves hello kitty and TMNT so I had to break my McDonald’s ban to go see what toy she could get in the happy meal… I wasn’t too sad to participate in my historic drug of choice : snack wraps

Happy wedding anniversary @pdxtravie.bsky.social ! 4 years official with my best friend 🥹

And I said “make it pink” 🫢🤣

First day of 32 and despite the Florida heat and humidity I’m still celebrating

And just like that my five year old is six celebrating my mini all week but today is her actual birthday

Twas the night before Florida and all through the house not a creature was stirring… except for a mom who drank 2 V8 energy drinks to pack three humans for an 8 day trip and now is wired and can’t fall asleep 🤣
