I’m not going to get political, I’m going to get empowered! At this point you’d have to be living under a rock to not notice the tension in the air right now. Since the election, all manner of emotions have been running high. No matter the side of the political spectrum you’re on, the tension…
What a fantastic weekend I just had at home back in North Carolina, which of course had to include plenty of puppy snuggles! I love going through old photo albums when I’m home. (Yup, my take-photos-of-everything tendency totally comes from my mom, so we have tons of family photos.) I got to take a trip down memory…
ad·ven·ture an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. I love my days of adventure! What I love even more is that this can encompass so many different activities.

It was truly a sunny #SundayFunday yesterday! Elizabeth, her husband Evans, their pup Blossom, and I ventured out for a hike in the wildflowers. Our options: Rowena Crest (a 1.5 mile jaunt along the Oregon side of the Gorge) and Dog Mountain (um, let’s just say the opposite). Well, we chose the latter. Except for…
ONE YEAR IN PORTLAND Last Saturday marked my one year anniversary of moving to Portland! Finding a soul mate (aka Caitlin), making amazing friends, hikes and many other outdoor adventures, teaching at my dream studio, working for two amazing companies and with amazing people, helping open a studio, so much travel and adventure… What an…
I’m #flashbackfriday-ing to two weeks ago, when my parents were in town. For those of you that haven’t gathered, I’m extremely close to my parents.
