Sweet relief! Fall is here, and putting together this October issue has filled us with the hearty spirit of the season.

Do you remember your favorite childhood birthday party? The one that stands out for me is my sixth birthday; we hosted a Barbie fashion show party at home, complete with fancy decorations, a miniature runway and of course, a beautifully decorated cake.

Say it ain’t so – it’s back to school time already! Have you had enough summer fun? Worry not; there’s still a month to go, and if I know anything about Portland families, it’s that you won’t let that month go to waste.

Summer’s in full swing! Ready for endless outdoor adventures in the lushness that only the Pacific Northwest can offer? With Independence Day around the corner (if you haven’t seen fireworks on the Oregon Coast, make this year the first; I promise it’s worth it) and the total solar eclipse on August 21, and all sorts of shenanigans in between, you won’t be hearing the dreaded refrain of “I’m bored!” anytime soon.
