Full Couch Full Heart

While I was away in Iceland, this happened at my house. It looks like I missed big one. Someone in this photo turned 86 that weekend.

Iceland Triple Threat

We went to Iceland to run a race. It was the slowest half marathon I have ever run and yet I had the best time. Life is funny like that, huh?

Icelandic Sweater

That souvenir you snapped a photo of but wish you would have bought it instead...

Season Finale

Fall soccer ended this past weekend. Time flies. 

Blue Lagooning

If you find yourself in Iceland, and you only have time to do one thing. Do this. 

Colorful Reykjavik

Ebony, Ivory and Mini Me

Vanmoof wins my heart again

The best last-minute souvenir I grabbed from Amsterdam was my Vanmoof bike. No question. She lives at my office and I ride her almost every day to get lunch. She even got a special place in our Fall Catalog (hello cover girl). 

Vanmoof is innovative in so many inspiring ways. Most recently, they have wowed us all with their elegant simple solution to a major problem. Brilliant. 

Big Dreams of a Small Chalet

 More progress in the mountains...

I Coulda Told You This...

It's good to be a girl in Holland. In fact they say it is one of the best places to grow up as a girl. 

Selfie Love

I adore Honestly WTF, esp when they have content as great as this. I only wish I'd seen I'd thought of it myself while I was living in the shadows of the Rijksmuseum.

Time Flies

I cannot believe this day was 5 years ago. By far the best day of my running career. Thank you Facebook, for reminding me. 

Confession #375

Remember when I used to shop local for the finest euro sweet treats? Yea, me too. Oh well. Now I get them at Trader Joes...luckily they taste *almost* as good....and they are cheaper than a plane ticket.

Jungalove

So much to love about all of this...

Snip

This was seriously just a regular saturday, we popped into the neighborhood hair place to get some fresh cuts for the kids. We left feeling as though we had done our part to help keep PDX weird (one kid haircut at a time). So much to love in this crazy city...
