mt. hood on a bluebird day this weekend.
looks so different from when we were here just a few months ago when there was no snow

(all pics are from up on the mountain except for the last pic which is the mountain from the distance.)

this fall I have been working on something excitin

this fall I have been working on something exciting and have created a shop for “a life of adventures” selling some of my yarn creations and photo prints!!
i recently added some new items to my “a life of adventures” Etsy shop. I have custom beanies, beanies with locally made PNW yarn, and some other yarn-made things.
I am also super excited about launching a 2024 mountain desk calendar! The calendar comes with 13 different post-card sized prints with different mountain pictures I’ve taken over the last few years. It comes with a minimalistic wooden block made for displaying the monthly print.
My Black Friday sale is currently running until 11/28, offering 20% off on orders $30+.
Link to all of these and more in my bio if you’re interested 🙂

We love taking weekend adventures whenever possibl

We love taking weekend adventures whenever possible, even if it’s only minutes from home. There are so many places to explore, so there’s a few resources we use to help us plan:

1. AllTrails @alltrails we use AllTrails to find new trails and help us find areas where there may be trails we haven’t considered doing before. Current conditions are often listed on AllTrails too so it’s helpful in deciding whether we should do the trail now or at a different time of year
2. Google Maps @googlemaps is incredible for finding places you may have never considered going. I like zooming in all over the place and making “favorites” lists to save all the cool places we want to check out
3. Social media can be helpful for seeing current conditions of a place (like is there snow on the ground yet, have things melted out? Etc)
4. Blogs are often amazing resources to help you plan a weekend trip. I love checking out different people’s recommendations for an area
5. Pinterest @pinterest is awesome for finding hidden spots and content about certain places that you may have not thought about before. I think it’s helpful that it’s made up of pictures and you can see what someplace might look like

There are a ton of other resources we use, but these are some of my favorite!

fall has looked a little different for us since moving away from the northeast USA, but I’ll never forgot New York’s vibrant leaves and special fall weekend camping in the Adirondacks ❤️

i’m so excited to have finished knitting my firs

i’m so excited to have finished knitting my first sweater. i call this my “Olympic mountains sweater.” most of it was knitted on the beach with the Olympic mountains in the distance, picnicking at hurricane ridge, or staying cozy in my sleeping bag under the stars. everytime I wear it I am reminded of these happy memories and hope it holds all the sunshine I knitted into it as we move into rainy season.
