Based on my recent posts it is very obvious that I love eating, picking and baking with apples. Every year Portland Nursery puts on an apple tasting event, but for some reason this is the first year I have gone!! To make up for it I went both weekends of the festival to really soak in all of the amazing apple events!
Read MorePortland is a beautiful place, and many of the most iconic images of this gorgeous city come from Downtown Portland. From the tall downtown buildings to the waterfront of the Willamette River, the downtown area is really the heart of this city. There is great shopping, food and drinks, and amazing people watching. All of the action happens downtown, so hop on the Max or the streetcar and check out the sights!
Read MoreHere in Portland we are so so lucky to have so many fun activities to do in the fall. Our city becomes so colorful with all the leaves changing from green to yellow, orange and red. We are surrounded by farmland, which makes us a great destination to pick pumpkins, apples and taste wine. All of the below activities are on my fall bucket list (I've already done some!) and I'm dreading the day when all the leaves have fallen and winter arrives! We are in the prime time of fall, so get out there and enjoy!!
Read MoreEvery year one of my very favorite fall activities is going apple picking. I eat an apple pretty much every day, so I love stocking up on fresh, local apples while they are in season and making lots of tasty apple treats.
Read MoreTiny homes are taking over the country. It is hard to turn on the t.v. (especially my favorite HGTV) without some sort of show about building, renovating or buying a tiny home. Portland already had one tiny house hotel, but this past weekend Tiny Digs opened on NE Glisan & 28th and already has an amazing presence. The location couldn't be better, with tons of great restaurants and bars in the area and easy access to anywhere in Portland.
Read MoreTwo of my favorite things are cats and homes, so obviously a tour of cat homes (catios) is right up my alley. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to the Portland Catio Tour last weekend, but one of my best friends Lauren was able to document the event and do a great blog post for me! Lauren is a fellow cat lover and my most crafty friend, so it was a perfect match. Enjoy!
