A little bit about Lisette.....

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most alive surrounded by trees and breathing in the fresh mountain air.

When I am not working you will most likely find me spending time outdoors, volunteering with my church and exploring this beautiful planet with my family. 

This is my place to share my passion for life and to encourage you to take time to find the extraordinary in your life.

Looking forward to Fall

Looking forward to Fall

Fall has always been my favorite time of year. Between the crisp Fall air, the luscious colors, the leaves which start to scatter all over the ground, and the ability to wear layers again I am pretty much in heaven. In addition, the fact we are expecting our second child this Fall makes me doubly excited for the impending season. There is no shortage of wonderful things to do in the Pacific Northwest in the Fall, so I thought it would be fun to share some of my all time favorite things to do in the coming months.

I am a huge fan of berry picking, but apple picking might just be my favorite thing to pick. Here are our past apple picking trips in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Spending a weekend in another part of the state is always a sure bet come Fall. Staying at the Sleeping Lady Lodge while Leaf peeping and hiking in Leavenworth is the perfect combination for a long weekend. 

I take great pride in picking out the perfect gourds and pumpkins and only like to go to the best farms around. 

I also find the Fall to be the perfect time to visit some of our local farms like Schuh Farms.

Lastly, hosting a Fall dinner party and assembling the Perfect Cheese Platter are a great way to herald in the changing seasons.
