My summer in New York was a fun, yet mixed, experience and the road calls me West. Goodbye New York parks that helped inspire my design aesthetic. Goodbye take out, delivery and crazy food combinations like s’mores french toast. Goodbye gazillion H&M’s stores. They say one is coming to Portland, but I know

The tiny Oregon town of Jacksonville has a rich 150 year old history. In 1861, a couple of muleteers spied a glint of yellow in Rich Gulch, off Jackson Creek.

Our family has its fair share of food aversions and quirks.My son hates tomatoes. He'll eat salsa, ketchup, a little spaghetti sauce, but no tomatoes that resemble their fresher selves. Since the rest of our family loves tomatoes (and I have eight healthy tomato plants in my garden) his life can be quite miserable. Pants ha

We watched a documentary last night — THE END OF SUBURBIA: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream. It’s very interesting, and some of what they predicted (the movie came out in 2004) has already happened. But here’s one takeaway for me. There’s another reason for buying local, besides j
