Enjoy September in Portland with food festivals, beer tasting and plenty of art!

I've been considering putting up a gallery wall on our huge living room wall. Check out the gallery walls that are inspiring me!!

Canines Uncorked is an event put on every year by the Oregon Humane Society as a way to raise money and celebrate the wonderful wines of Oregon! This year 16 North Willamette Vineyards participated, each offering free tastings to ticket holders, as well as special events for dogs at each stop!

As a Realtor & home design lover, the Street of Dreams is one of my favorite events of the year!! The 2017 Street of Dreams features 5 homes, ranging in style from an open farmhouse to a super modern Japanese style home designed by Koichiro Hirata, the same architect who recently completed the remodel of the Portland Japanese Garden and is currently working on the 2020 Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.

The last full month of summer is here, so take advantage of the nice weather and enjoy yourselves!

Starting January 1, 2018, any homeowners looking to sell their home in the city of Portland will have to first have a home energy audit and make their home energy score public. Although these audits have been available for awhile, they are just now becoming mandatory. Portland wants to increase the energy efficiency of residential properties and give buyers a more informed view of their future homes energy usage.

I recently went to San Francisco with David for a family event. We had an amazing time hanging out with family, relaxing in the sun and exploring the city. Rather than explaining all of the things that we did, I'm sharing my experiences through the photos that we took while on our trip. Enjoy!

I've always wanted to bake my own bread, so I recently took a sourdough class. I've been experimenting ever since with great success, and wanted to share my tips and recipes with you!

This year I plan to have the most amazing summer ever! This list covers all of the fun activities I want to do this summer! 

I've been wanting to go to Astoria for months and months as a day trip from either Portland or Manzanita. It is only about an hour from Manzanita, and about 1.5 hours drive from Portland. Astoria is located right off the coast on the Oregon side of the Columbia River and is the cutest little town full of historic shops, restaurants, breweries and sight-seeing.
