This post is in collaboration with Toyota. All opinions are my own. Brad and I are big fans of University of Washington football. We love attending the games, especially if we can do a tailgate with friends prior to kick-off. Tailgating is such a fun experience, we’ve even been known to have a 12 hour […]
Creamy & Dairy-Free Sweet Potato Casserole
I love the creaminess of mashed potatoes, and it isn’t a Thanksgiving meal without mashed sweet potatoes and little mini marshmallows roasted on top. Since Brad is allergic to dairy, I have to look for unique ways to add this creamy texture to my recipes. A couple years ago, I shared some creamy dairy-free mashed […]
Why You Should Add Smart Lights to Your Home
We started adding smart devices to our home a few years ago. It all began because we wanted to be able to open and close our garage door (because who wouldn’t want to do that from their phones). This garage door opener was a “gateway product” to smart home technology, because there was no way […]
Fall Business Casual Outfit with Brown Boots
I remember when tall boots were just starting to come back into fashion and everybody started tucking their jeans inside the boots. I wondered if this was something I’d ever really do since boots were already hard to fit with my thicker calves. Then skinny jeans happened, which was nice because there was less bulk […]

The weather is cooling, time to break out all the jackets for business casual outfits! I’ve enjoyed putting together new outfits with some fun new jackets that I picked up earlier this year, and rediscovering outfits from previous years as well. This fall business casual outfit is a mixture of a couple new items, and […]
Where to Take Photos at Disney – California Adventure Edition
I’ve talked about how awesome it is to take photographs at Disney parks. There are so many great backdrops and scenes throughout the parks. Previously, I’ve shared great spots at Disneyland, Pixar Pier, and Epcot. Today I have some great spots in California Adventure (other than Pixar Pier since that was already covered). Check out […]
Thanksgiving Turkey with Apple Cider Turkey Brine
Thanksgiving may be a ways off; however, it isn’t too early to think about the perfect way to cook your Thanksgiving Turkey this year. If you follow along with my Instagram, you might have noticed that I put together a full Thanksgiving meal in August, yes, August, where I tested out this apple cider turkey […]
How to Wear Short Purple Hunter Rain Boots
I might have a slight obsession wearing Hunter rain boots. And by slight, I mean huge. They are such a fun way to add a pop of color to an outfit, and are pretty practical for somebody living in Seattle. I recently got a few pairs of the short Hunter rain boots and am having […]
The Best Dipping Sauce Ever
This post was sponsored by the California Dried Plum Board. Although I was compensated to write this post, all opinions are my own. A couple weeks ago, I headed down to Napa, California to learn all about California Prunes. It was such a great trip filled with new friends, delicious food, lots of learning, and […]
Tips for a Long Weekend in San Francisco
Brad and I visited San Francisco with Kevin and Renee over Labor Day weekend and had an absolute blast. We travel well with Kevin & Renee and have done a few trips with them the past few years. If you’re thinking of traveling with friends, make sure that you are travel compatible. Some of the […]
