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…
Life Lately
Logan and I met up with our friend Courtney for a brunch date at Louisa’s in Eastlake on Friday. We have really cut back on eating out since Logan joined our family six months ago. If we do make it out to dine, it’s normally for brunch or a really…
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…

Core Focused Workouts
Sometimes, I wonder how the day flies by and it seems like I haven’t accomplished anything. Then I take a minute, reflect on the day and realize I haven’t stopped all day. What did I do with all my time before we had a baby come along?!! Beyond Yoga Gathered…
