Welcome, December and the beginning of winter! Whether you trust any of the early predictions of snow or not, this month is gearing up to be special.

Halloween has come and gone and summer is a lovely but distant memory. It’s really, really fall now! This month, we’re taking a look at some of the many November holiday events around town.

After a wild September (flooding and tornadoes?!), October has arrived at last. School is in full swing, the fall harvest season is upon us, and the Halloween candy that is arriving on store shelves has not gone unnoticed by my kids! October is the first in our series of three School Open House Guides of the 2019-2020 school year.

One could argue that declaring a favorite season around here is sort of like naming a favorite child.

With summer in full swing, all of the shops around town are beginning to look a lot like back to school! August in my family includes a gaggle of birthdays and a beach reunion with cousins, siblings and a very happy grandma who gets to see all five of her grandkids (normally spread from San Diego to Portland to Seattle) all in one place at the same time.
