Portland: Our Adventure to Leach Botanical Garden

A beautiful gray early Spring day at Leach Botanical Garden, Portland's "secret garden". Filled with over 2,000 species of soon-to-be flowering flora, rushing water, a Giant Sequoia, Ichabod Crane, and a dinosaur! Another great family date, perfect for the 2 year old and nursing mama. Leach Botanical Garden 6704 SE 122nd Ave. Portland, OR 97235 503-823-9503

*They are having their annual Plant Sale on Saturday April 19 at Floyd Light Middle School.

6/ 52: Found This Week

We had an active week. Nate finished his second quarter of CPE at the hospital and had a few days off. So, we had our first date out since before Owen was born to Jimmy's Mak's Jazz Club on Wednesday. We went to Leach Botanical Garden on Thursday and to the Portland Children's Museum on Friday. I didn't spend really any time online, it was nice. But, here is what I did find that I'm currently obsessed with.

AG Jeans: My old friend Cyndi has the best style! I kinda idealize her home and personal style. It echoes my own, but she has it down. Feeling in a style rut after the birth of Owen, I asked her what to wear. She pointed me towards AG. I so want!

Hands Free Mama a book and blog about anyone who wants to let go of daily distraction and perfection to embrace what really matters. Um, yeah.
