Things I love

Oregon coast toddler photo

Spending time with my family at the beach. In Oregon, we lived an hour from the coast.  Any time we were free and it was semi-nice out we'd head out to the beach.  It was rare to catch a warm day on the Oregon coast.  We'd often leave a 90 degree day in Beaverton, get out of the car at Seaside, and have to put on our fleece sweatshirts and pants.  It was so beautiful that it didn't … [Read more...]
