You know how when you plan a wedding all everyone talks about is that damn dessert? But you’re so over doing the cupcake thing and quite frankly, you’re not even a cake person. Well, did you ever think about fancy doughnuts instead? I didn’t, until I was introduced to FROST. And even though I’m not using FROST for our wedding, this magical doughnut idea is reason enough to write about them. Photo courtesy of Frost...

Luminata Lantern Parade: Happy Fall, Pretty Lights

Luminata Lantern Parade: Happy Fall, Pretty Lights...

I take back all my complaining about the weather last week. That’s right- this weekend I decided that if I head into fall with a good attitude, it might just reward me with something nice like an awesome weather forecast, a clearance sale on Fry Boots or a bumper crop of pumpkins. If you want to join me in sending out the positivie juju, then I suggest you kick off fall by celebrating the Autumnal Equinox at the...

Weekend Round-Up: 9/16-9/18...

Oh September, how you toy with my emotions. You start off with promises of delivering a slightly late version of the summer we never had, give us two glorious weeks of shortie-short-wearing, backyard bbq-in glory, and then seemingly overnight just snatch it all away and get people talking about pumpkin lattes and Halloween costumes. Hmph. Well, you’re lucky that this weekend’s list of awesome goings on has enough...

Well, beloved food vendors all across the greater Puget Sound Area are evidently working on making this behavior possible for you as well.

Okay, so when you move to Seattle you always hear about Greenlake, Seward Park and Discovery Park but no one ever seems to give Carkeek Park any cred. And it definitely deserves it. With views of the Olympics and Sound, plenty of space to play with your kids AND tons of windy trails that you can get lost in, Carkeek is slowly becoming my new favorite secret hideaway. Especially for those days that I don’t want to drive an...

The Belltown Pub is the perfect spot to begin or end any Belltown shenanigans. If you like to drink early, you love that their happy hour starts at 3:30pm every day. If you’re more a night-time imbiber, you love their late-night happy hour, which runs from 10:00pm – 1:00am. And if you need something to soak up any of said alcohol, you can get their famous Ice Cream Sundae and French Fry combo (great for staving...

So far, September has brought us wat is hands-down the best weather in recent memory. I actually have a tan line people! (I’m pale, so that’s pretty amazing in itself.) But I’ve seen the 10-day forecast and… well, I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but all good things have to come to an end. Before you know it, fall will be here and you’ll be downing apple cider and planning your Halloween...
