As the cold is settling in, and we're already in December, it's hard not to get into the spirit of the season. Christmas is my very favorite holiday. On a recent trip to the city, the Seattle Christmas Market was UNBELIEVABLE! How did I NOT KNOW about this magical event?

From all kinds of tasty treats and beverages to many vendors, there truly is something for everyone. What an exceptional event!

Living in the PNW brings new experiences every day. We don't have children. However, we're both big kids at heart. We love doing what kids love to do and that's really about having F-U-N.

Growing up in Minnesota, I'm no stranger to cold.

When the first snow of the season hits, it's game on for outdoor activities. Whether it's skating at the rink in a hockey game or broom-ball, sitting around a huge bonfire with friends, there's something truly heartwarming about enjoying winter with friends. While I'll always have Minnesota winter memories it's time to make new memories in the PNW.
