PLACES TO GO

Chandler and I went on a pumpkin donut tasting adventure to GreenBluff last week. It's harvest festival time on the bluff and as always, it did not disappoint. As you might imagine, the pumpkin donuts were super tasty as well!Although life is altered because of Covid,...

Colin and I just returned from a visit to Quebec where we got our fair share of Christmas inspiration and holiday cheer. It's such a beautiful old city with stunning architecture reflecting its French roots. Visiting Quebec during the holiday season is such a special...

We're lucky enough to have several Japanese dollar stores (Daiso) in the Seattle area of Washington State and visits there never disappoint. I'm always surprised that everyone doesn't know about these cutest shops and I thought it'd be fun to give you a peek...

Colin has been wanting to go to Nazare and see the big waves everyone in the surfing world is talking about. This little village on Portugal's Silver Coast is home to some of the biggest waves in the world. You wouldn't have known it today because it was pretty calm...
