I totally took a break from my camera/blogging while I was away. I’m usually a photo freak and snap pictures of everything, but, this time, I just lived life and enjoyed it without documenting every little thing. It was definitely a nice change of pace, but, I have to admit, I wish I took more [...]

Yesterday was all about eating, drinking, and being merry—which I guess is the main point of BlogHer Food, right? Well, I’m glad I enjoyed my time to the fullest! After the morning session, Monica and I visited Pike’s Place Public Market, which was just a few blocks from the hotel. It was a beautiful and sunny [...]

Seattle is such a cool city. The vibe is totally chill and laid-back here. I love it. Once the third session of the conference ended yesterday afternoon, I changed into my sneakers and then met Monica and Kath for a little exercise. Our plan was to walk 1.3 miles to the Five Bamboo offices for [...]

Good morning! Monica and I woke up bright an early for a run this morning. I was wide awake even before our alarm went off—I was actually laying in bed waiting for it to go off! When does that happen? Oh, when you’re on the West coast, but your body is still on East coast [...]

Rain or Shine

Mother Nature can’t seem to make up her mind with the weather in Seattle today. Rain… shine… rain… shine… the weather is bipolar. When I landed in Seattle, the weather was rainy and gray, but, by the time I got to the hotel, it cleared up and the sun was shining. It looked really nice [...]

Our final day in Seattle involved a mixture of chillin’ and relaxin.’ Just check out Brody chillaxin in the backyard! (Apparently, I’m a big dork and find the word ‘chillaxin’ much cooler than it actually is.) Breakfast Once again, my morning started with coffee from (super awsome) Caffe Ladro. This time, I went with a [...]

Mal was so excited about snowboarding today, he didn’t sleep all that much last night. In fact, he woke up at 5:00 AM and then woke me up to tell me just how excited he was—even though we didn’t need to wake up for another 1.5 hours. Isn’t he sweet? (The whole thing was actually [...]

Hi, friends! We have lots of catching up to do—and I have a fun giveaway at the end of this post for you! OK, let’s get to it! Yesterday morning, Mal, Sibylle (Mal’s sister), Coleman (Sibylle’s fiancé), and I started our drive to Mount Baker. Since it was about 3 hours from Seattle, we planned to [...]

Seattle Morning

Hi, friends! I woke up to the fuzzy face of a cutie-pie Golden Retriever this morning. Brody is the sweetest pup! Once we got out of bed, Mal and I took a quick trip to Caffe Ladro for iced coffees. The last time we were in Seattle a few years ago, we fell in love [...]

Coast-to-Coast

Hello and greetings from Seattle! Mal and I arrived safe and sound a little while ago. Now, we’re waiting for his luggage (he checked his snowboard boots and bindings), so I figured I’d blog while we had some downtime. Our day started bright and early (aka in the middle of the night) with a 2:45 AM wake-up [...]
