It’s Seattle’s most iconic landmark. And it recently got a big facelift. Including the addition of the world’s only revolving glass floor. Since it recently held its big grand reopening, I thought it would be fun to look back at how it once looked before we go back and try the new and improved version.… Read More The Space Needle & Brunch

I was already excited to… Read More The Journey of a Year

What I… Read More Apartment Decor for the Girls (and unsolicited pictures of cats)
