Everyone says Seattle is rainy and they seem to be right. We woke up this morning to some rain and constant din of the roaring ocean. It’s like a permanent white noise machine. But the rain seemed to be our friend throughout the day, only showing up when we were driving and not as much…
It’s rather incredible how day 1 of a trip can be so exhausting – and this day 1 was giving me flashbacks to a 2013 5-hr layover in Amsterdam. That feeling when your eyes are just so heavy that it actually feels like you are wearing a face mask? Maybe it’s just me. But –…
I posted this picture on Instagram like a month ago for “National Siblings Day” because that’s apparently a thing. But it was right around when we were beginning to plan this trip! It’s been quite awhile since I was on a plane. But today is the beginning of a new adventure with my siblings. We…
It’s gardening season again. After the near epic failure of my cutting garden last year, it seems silly that I even thought it would be advisable to try again. Maybe next year I’ll learn my lesson and just let it be a dirt pit for Ruby May to roll around in. But alas, no lesson…
Spring is finally here – or so it feels like it. If nothing else, mentally Spring has arrived. I no longer want to wear coats to work. Bye bye puffy jackets! I made my first batch of sun tea on a very sunny Saturday and I’m dreaming of pre-work mornings staring at my tomatoes. So…

I had inadvertently did not respond to the family text chain about what I was brining to Easter dinner. While I often ask others…
It feels like a lifetime since I wrote here – and nothing like a good seasonal baking event. Last year I made hot cross buns and I never like to make the same thing twice. I wasn’t sure how many ways you could mix up “hot cross buns” but I do know that you can…
I made funfetti cinnamon rolls… because I’m a giant adult. I was invited – or I invited myself, it’s hard to keep track – over to a neighbor’s house for dinner this weekend. They were already covering the pizza and salad – so I wasn’t sure what to bring. They have two adorable little girls…
I can’t even pretend that this is a meal I would have selected on my own. While I’m normally on board for trying almost any type of ingredient (I currently draw the line hard with sardines), cabbage just isn’t the type of thing I pick up – ever. Not for any good reason either. It…
Despite my love of grocery stores and cooking, there is something incredibly appealing about how meal delivery services package and send their meals. After getting about one million offers in the mail, I decided to try out Blue Apron recently. I was in a bit of a cooking lull and it was only $30. While…
