October is my birthday month, and this year the family came down for a day of pumkins, football, and food. Here are a few photos from our day. LUKE! My ever- goofy daddy! I don’t know why, but I LOVE this photo. It slays me. We love Spooner Farms! These wild ones wanted to do […]

Newborn photoshoot featuring Holden Brave!
We have waited the arrival of this sweet boy for months on end. His mama is my dear cousin, Tawny (travel writer, blogger, shopping partner) and she and her husband, Christopher welcomed this little nugget into the world six weeks ago. Since “four-week-old photoshoot” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “newborn” we are […]
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
This was a GREAT day. Play to Learn was canceled so some of the parents organized a walk through Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, and they were sweet enough to invite Rosie and I along. It was a scorcher. This is the “before”. You will see at the end of the post why this is pertinent and […]
Perks of Being a Nanny with a Camera

Maple Glazed Roasted Delicata Squash with Brussels Sprouts
Here in the Pacific Northwest, the change in season brings some much-awaited favorites. We love eating fresh strawberries in the late spring and early summer- straight from our patch in the garden, the juiciest tomatoes in August (and when you think about it have you ever eaten a half decent tomato in the dead of […]
Pumpkin Patch + Best Friend= Good Medicine
Who doesn’t love a good pumpkin patch trip? Waking up early, caffeinating, bundling up, then it’s on the road to our favorite patch. It seems like there are more and more family farms with pumpkin patches popping up every year. We like one out in Puyallup called Spooner Farm. It’s about half an hour from […]
