This my first post for my new weekly series “Outdoor Adventures with Littles.” We are an active family that likes to be outdoors. I am hoping these posts inspire your family to get outside and not slow down your life just because you have kids. Of course, everything in life…
Adventures After Baby
Life changes after you have a baby. Adventures also change but they don’t have to stop. Sometimes I find myself thinking “we can’t do that anymore because we have a kid.” While there are certainly places you can’t take your little ones and activities that aren’t baby friendly, there is…
Ballard Locks
Once you have a child, everything in your life changes. I am constantly thinking of “baby friendly” activities to do. I know you can hike with babies but the thought of having to carry dirty diapers during our hikes is not appealing to me. I plan to stick with city…
First Mothers Day
My first Mothers Day was certainly memorable. We spent the morning at the Ballard Farmers Market followed by brunch at Volterra. We came home to hang out on our back patio. It was overcast and a little chilly but perfect weather to enjoy a hot coffee outside. White Tee (similar)…
Baby’s First Js
Our weekend was pretty low key. Ryan coached at the tennis club both days so we didn’t get too much family time. Saturday afternoon we ventured to Market Street in Ballard. We walked around, shared a happy hour pizza at Stoneburner and ended our family outing with coffee at Cafe…
When the Rain Doesn’t Stop
Ryan took Easter off and I was so excited for a full day to spend as a family. When people talk about the rain and grey anytime you mention Seattle, it used to annoy me a little. As I have mentioned on here before, this winter lived up to all…
Babies & Breweries
Ryan’s grandfather passed away last week. I am thankful we had the chance to see him over Christmas and for him to meet Logan. The image below is one that Ryan says will always stay in his mind as a memory of him. Ryan finally made it home Saturday evening…
Dab On
Life has been crazy over the past few weeks. There are still boxes around the house to unpack from the move. We still don’t have much furniture. Even with all that, I couldn’t be happier with our new house. I love our neighborhood. Everyone is friendly and there are always…
New Year, New Me
I had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday. Overall, I would say I am excited because I got the ok to start working out again. It’s been a long three plus months not being able to be active. I am still not 100% healed with some remaining granulation tissue. She gave…
I’m Back!
The past two weeks have my head spinning! We packed up our tiny apartment, moved across town, enjoyed Thanksgiving and now we are getting ready for our trip back east for Christmas. I had my procedure two weeks ago and go back for my follow-up appointment tomorrow. Fingers crossed everything…
