free potty training sticker chart printable
Hey friends with small humans - guess what?! I made a potty training sticker chart so you don't have to.

Tourist in our own town: Krause Berry Farms
We love to visit farms, and hope to eventually -- once our subdivision goes through and our house is built -- have our own hobby farm. In the meantime, checking out local farms is always berry (hehe) fun! In late June, William, Isla, and I went with some friends to Duft & Co. Bakehouse (10/10 … Continue reading Tourist in our own town: Krause Berry Farms

People Footwear
Full disclosure: I do not receive gifts, discounts, etc. from the following brand. I really enjoy sharing companies that I love to shop, especially when they're small shops or local brands.

Because we don't have a camper at the moment, and Isla is so itty bitty (tenting is less than ideal with a six month old), we've decided to stick with checking out activities and popular tourist destinations that are … Continue reading Tourist in our own town: Othello Tunnels
