Meet + Greet
Henry's is one of my very favorite places to eat in Portland, Oregon. Last night, was a Meet + Greet for anyone who was interested in attending The Together A Boss Lady Experience. I had such a FUN time- I love meeting new faces, especially local friends. I had some delicious appetizers and the best watermelon martini. YUMMY!

I can't even believe I forgot to take photos- It was so dark, not sure the photos would have looked good anyways. I'm so … [Read more...]

My friend Jenny Keller opened her very first Bakery Jenny Cookies Bake Shop this last weekend. I had the privilege of attending the Opening Day! Oh my goodness, the line to get in was out the door and around the corner! The Bakery is nestled in a small town North of Seattle, Washington called Lake Stevens. The Bakery was everything I imagined it to be and more... Besides all the yummy treats and cute decorations. I have to say my favorite was the custom tile work on the floor at the front entrance of the Bakery by Eylander Tile. On my way back home, I had lunch at Snohomish Pie Company and shopped all the vintage shops in downtown Snohomish. … [Read more...]
