Tumble Lake (our favorite family hideway hike)
It’s good to be an Oregonian again. Between ambitious home-improvement projects, swim lessons & drama camp, playdates & birthday parties we’ve been ardently adventuring in our old stomping grounds this summer. I’m dedicating a little space here on the bliggity-blog to a few of our favorite Oregon haunts that we’ve been rediscovering. Tumble Lake is one such favorite. Unknown by most locals, I’ve…

Diary of a Drama Queen
All the world’s a stage, and all the men & women merely players… Perhaps it comes as no surprise that my offspring tends to have an innate flair for drama? Our girls spent the last two weeks at a local theater camp, hosted by Husband’s alma mater. I think it’s safe to say that between their spring performance…

Anyway, without further ado, please check out my online pals’ rockin’…

Remodel: Hall Closet Turned Pantry w/Barn-Door
You might recall our family’s big spring/summer project has been renovating a neglected 1970’s rambling rancher right next door to my sister. We’re settled in now and have been chugging along with updates, but I had to share a recent project that Husband undertook to bless me for my recent birthday… I think it’s my favorite part…

What to Read Wednesday: Boredom Busters/Roadtrip Books
This week’s What to Read Wednesday is woefully tardy… ironically because I’m presently swept up in a book series. #BookwormProbs My advice for boredom busting road-trip lit is to grab any old book you want– no matter how embarrassing or silly. Often in our house lately it’s the likes of Dork Diaries and other such fluff… Not…
