Cirque du Soleil’s KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities is in Portland now through October 8th! Emma and I attended the opening night of the performance and had a wonderful time! You can read the review HERE.
If you haven’t seen KURIOS yet you are in luck! I’m teaming up with R/West and giving away a family 4 pack of tickets to one reader!
Looking for something fun to do? If you are in the Portland, Oregon area you need to check out the Zoolights at the Oregon Zoo!
Hey everyone! I’ve got another fun little giveaway for all of my local readers. The Oregon Zoo has provided me with 4 additional tickets to visit their annual holiday event Zoolights. We’ve been attending Zoolights since 2013. It’s become our own little family tradition, in fact we are heading up there today to explore this year’s winter festival.
The Zoolights at the Oregon Zoo open up at 5:00 daily through January 1st ( with the exception of Dec. 24th and 25th!), and run until 8 or 9 pm, depending on the day. The zoo is literally transformed into a winter wonderland filled with more than a million and a half lights that you can walk around and see.

Who wants 4 tickets to a Cirque du Soleil show!?! One lucky local reader is going to win them!
Have you ever been to a Cirque du Soleil show before? I’ve heard so many amazing things about them over the years! It’s something that I’ve always wanted to experience but hadn’t had the chance to – until now. Cirque du Soleil is coming to the Moda Center next month with TORUK: The First Flight. TORUK: The First Flight is inspired by James Cameron’s Avatar.
TORUK is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film Avatar, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora. Through cutting edge visuals, puppetry and outstanding performances, this family friendly show transports you to the world of Pandora in a visually stunning live setting. I’ve heard this performance is nothing like other Cirque du Soleil shows, so I’m excited to hear everyone’s thoughts who have watched multiple Cirque du Soleil shows.
The middle of May has snuck up on me and I’m finding myself scrambling to get our raised bed garden planted! We normally grow a small variety of things like lettuce, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Now, I am by no means a gardener here – in fact I normally find myself asking my husband for planter box tips since he has worked with plants his whole life as a vineyard manager.
I do however like to give things a shot and try new things. There’s nothing better than going out door and harvesting everything you need to make for a summer salad or a tasty Italian appetizer. We try to get the kids involved with planting and watering every year too.
