Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden (SE Portland) Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, located in the Eastmoreland neighborhood of SE Portland, is one of the many ways Portlanders can find paradise in the heart of the city. Nestled in the southeast, a stone’s throw from Reed College, this 9.5-acre haven for multiple varieties of waterfowl attracts families with kids of all ages. Bring your camera to capture your children’s wide eyes when the geese step right up, hoping you’ll ignore the garden’s request that you not feed them. There are signs to help you identify the fowl swimming on Crystal Springs Lake. According to one of the brochures Keep Reading
Dollar Shave Club Starter Set just $5 (4 razors + handle)
Dollar Shave Club is having a fantastic deal right now! Get a Shave Starter Set for only $5 (including shipping!). You get: 4 Pack of Razor Cartridges Razor Handle Travel Shave Butter I'd done a bunch of research and the reviews are great on both the razor handle and the razor cartridges. I couldn't find anything about the shave butter, so I figure the three ounce tube is just a bonus. Yes, the packaging is fairly masculine, but the razors work just fine for women. I imagine one razor cartridge would work for a few months for me. Considering that a four pack of quality "lady" razors can be more than $10, this trail pack from Dollar Shave Keep Reading
Portland Family Fun Guide: Hoyt Arboretum
Hoyt Arboretum (Portland) When most people think of Northwest Portland family outings they picture the Portland Zoo, the Portland Children’s Museum or maybe the World Forestry Center. Some people may not even know that the perfect and free family outing is only steps away! We recently visited the Hoyt Arboretum for the first time and had a fabulous morning. If you are not familiar with this area, the Arboretum is located about two miles west of Downtown Portland. Our first stop was to get a map from the visitors’ center. The little ones absolutely loved having a map. They would frequently pause to look at it, trace their finger along Keep Reading
How to make the most of the time you have
Every time the calendar moves up a year, it seems like everyone is making resolutions to get their lives in order: lose weight, start a new habit, declutter, eat better, BE MORE PRODUCTIVE. And every single one of those people (myself included) has the very best of intentions, but come mid-February, most of us realize that we haven't made many, if any, significant changes. Why not? Sometimes the reason is because we're trying to change a habit so ingrained in our beings it requires so much work to change. Sometimes we were just too ambitious. And sometimes we just lack the resources and tools to make the change. If you set some goals last Keep Reading
Portland Family Fun Guide: Springwater Corridor — Sellwood to OMSI
Springwater Corridor: Sellwood to OMSI (SE Portland) My kids don’t seem to grasp the notion that they are only allowed to get cabin fever in the summer, when there’s no end of opportunities to work out the wiggles on playgrounds, in parks and at the pool. Fortunately, they love to ride bikes, but our neighborhood street isn’t the sort of place I really want them to go for a spin, so I’m glad we’ve discovered a protected bike path that makes an easy half-day adventure for our little family on any decent day, even in mid-winter. The Springwater Corridor is part of a massive loop of bike paths circumnavigating the eastern half of the Portland Keep Reading
How you can help Coast Guard units in Oregon affected by the federal shutdown
How to help Coast Guard units in Oregon Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that the ramifications to people affected by the partial government shutdown are beginning to grow. One group that is affected is the United States Coast Guard. Many members of the Coast Guard are obligated to serve even without pay and that is the position they are in right now. This means that a good number of families stationed in the 11 units on the Oregon Coast and on Swan Island in Portland did not receive their paychecks this week but are still working on our behalf. These are families that are typically stationed far away from their own support Keep Reading
