My husband likes to joke that our dog, Briscoe, eats better than the rest of our family.

It’s fancy stuff, for sure, so we feed it to him in a small Tupperware container. We’re don’t want to raise a pretentious dog… READ MORE!
I hadn’t yet left for the airport last Wednesday when Jeran texted from Portland that it was raining, reminding me to toss an umbrella into my suitcase before leaving the house. Because when you’re visiting the Pacific Northwest, you should probably bring some rainy day gear, right?
