January 18, 2021 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

For this year, I will be attempting to create a home free of excessive “stuff”. So come with me in this hassle-free declutter journey!

Hassle Free Declutter January

What I learned in 2020 and with staying in place and the whole quarantine is that my family has A LOT of stuff! Staring at the same walls revealed everything I had set aside to address at a later date or when I had time. Before quarantine, that time never came. Life got busy and things just got pushed aside. Well, COVID-19 happened. Quarantine happened. And now all I have is time! So this month, I decided to start a hassle-free declutter journey….

Many people have weird food combinations that they like that others do not, and vice versa. Here is my list of 12 strange likes and dislikes.

Hiking Skyline Trail on Mt. Rainier

September 18, 2020 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Mt. Rainier is so majestic! Especially on a nice day! So one beautiful Sunday morning, an adventure was had hiking Skyline Trail…

Skyline Trail view Mt Rainier

My sister and I made a pact. That given our busy schedules, we would find time to do a major hike at least once a year. Ideally said hike would be during the summer months because my kids would be in school the rest of the time. It’s been a strange summer in WA, and therefore, it was a roll of the dice what kind of day we’d have. Luckily the forecast showed that Sunday to be the hottest day of the week. So we’d venture early toward Mt. Rainier to avoid the heat and the crowds. Because apparently hiking along Skyline Trail Loop is a pretty popular thing to do! And of course it makes sense…as you’ll soon read……
