Birthday Surprise: Planting Raspberries

December 13, 2014 by Kristen

Earlier this summer I posted one of my very favorite recipes for raspberry pie! I grew up with a backyard full of fruit trees and berries with a Dad who tended to them like prize possessions, so it’s no wonder that I have such a love of fruit. Summers meant running around the backyard barefoot noshing on all of the fresh fruit I could get my little hands on.

Raspberries are my go-to berry because they’re delicate in nature and can be both sweet and tart. My parents have several healthy raspberry plants in their backyard, and for my 30th Birthday they gifted me enough raspberry starts to get one full row in our backyard.

I have such sneaky parents…they gave me both a gift and a ton of work! ha! Welcome to your thirties Kristen!

#WineWednesday ~ Anne Amie Vineyards

December 10, 2014 by Kristen

Back in November, we spent a lovely day wine tasting with some friends and family visiting from the East Coast. The Renaissance Man and I love hosting people in Wine Country because the possibilities are endless when it comes to showing people a good time. The Willamette Valley has so much to offer!

{Sunday Sunrise} Snapshots from Dundee

December 7, 2014 by Kristen

There really  is something to be said about catching the sunrise. I am so thankful that our little home in Dundee looks out over the valley and that we can see the tippy-top of Mt. Jefferson peaking out from behind the Cascade Mountain Range.

Mt. Jefferson is always there keeping watch for us and I’m sure this morning’s sunrise took his breath away.

Thanksgiving Day Recap & Turkey Broth

December 6, 2014 by Kristen

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving was over a week ago!? Time flies, especially this time of year! We had a lovely time with family and friends celebrating on Friday. It was our first time hosting a big holiday and I think we did a pretty good job pulling everything together. My Mom was a huge help when it came to logistics…she’s hosted a few Thanksgivings over the years and was a valuable resource. She even let me borrow some table linens for the event!
