Our family just got back from a 10-night trip to Washington state. The visit was our first time anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, and I can definitely say we were impressed. Wow. What a BEAUTIFUL place! We had such a great time, but there is a part of me that is a little sad that we couldn’t see even more of this gorgeous part of the country.

Although we spent 6 days in D.C. and 2 in Philadelphia,… Read more »

Not all of them are worthy of an entire post, so I thought maybe I could do this at the end of each month to recap some fun things I’ve been into lately. I am loving the SkyFit audio fitness app! My friend recommended it to me (thank you Becca!) and I have been using it quite a bit when I… Read more »
