my face when I have convinced my husband to help me put up Christmas lights before it gets *too* cold....
BUT THEN I hide the extension cord so he cannot plug them in until thanksgiving.**
😏🙈🌲
#boom
**I may change this deadline to the first snow, as the Thanksgiving-Christmas gap is shorter than usual... #tobedetermined
😋💕🙊

I was going to be smart and get some chores done while my @lightroom edits exported... but when I finished and got back to my laptop, I realized I had set Lightroom to export the job... and then closed the laptop. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Needless to say, THAT doesn’t work very well!
My multitasking skills are not on point today. 🙈

ALWAYS proud of & thankful for you. 💙🇺🇸❤️ But especially today!
Mason is the humblest about his service, and he’ll always “bah humbug” if you start talking about all his accomplishments. But I like to embarrass him and talk about how proud I am, regardless.

Not everyone has the chance to grow up in a family so surrounded by military sacrifice and then marry into another one! Shoutout today to all the men and women in my family (on both sides!) who have given what they can to serve a country they love.
.
We are all grateful. ✨

those of you here: hubs (@mason__p), dad AND mom (@lesliepittelkow), brother-in-law (@slightlyaboveaveragejoe), cousin (@moutrymuscle), and many friends...
and those who have passed on: grandpa, pop-pop, uncle john, mason’s grandpas, uncles, and great-uncles.

My husband (aka Mr. Elf Himself) and I have reached a great compromise (listen up, guys, for this is solid marriage advice....):
He can play *all* the early Christmas music he wants PROVIDED that he massages my back/shoulders/neck during the entire song(s). ✊🏻✨🌲 #winningatwifing #thisshoulddothetrick

welcome to Washington: where even roadside pit stops reward you with views worth millions. 🏔🌲💕 #twostepsfromthehighway #mountainsfordays

“I would rather own little and see the world than own the world and see little of it.”
✨🌎
I often think how lucky I am to have grown up with parents that valued the priceless experience of travel. By the time I was twelve, I’d seen maaaany national parks and historic landmarks, visited DC, NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, LA, San Fran (and their respective surrounding forests/mountains/lakes), been to Key West and Maine; San Diego and Seattle... also popped down to Mexico, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and probably already hit 30ish states.
Granted (a) I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time, and (b) we had the US Navy to thank for places like Guam, BUT my parents always made each move into an adventure. Each cross-country drive we took was planned with multiple culturally-diverse, history-rich stops. We camped a LOT - and I only remember using an RV once (on a trip up the Cali coast to see the Redwoods). 😂
So I guess I’m saying if my parents could haul five kids all over the world, you need to get yourself moving and actually SEE the places you want to see.
Sometimes I’m afraid having kids in our future will slow us down... and then I think again of my parents; who wrangled five kids down to Australia and back, TWICE.
Yeah, we’ll be fine. 🤘🏼

The famous triple arches on the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park weren’t originally part of the plan.
The now-iconic bridge (one of the most-photographed spots in the entire park!) was a last-minute addition to the architecture.
Just goes to show you that sometimes “not going accordong to plan” is a really, really good thing. 💕✌🏼 #glacierfacts #glaciernps

These two beautiful humans are visiting the PNW with family for a wedding... so they hopped a BUS and met me in Ellensburg (a few hours away from both of us!) JUST to grab a photo session. 😱🙈😭 It was so great to catch up after over four years!!
We went to college together in Florida, so I had to show these kids a vibrant, gorgeous PNW fall, and central Washington did NOT disappoint. 🍁🏔🌲 The golden leaves, spicy evergreens, and distant mountaintops may or may not have left us *all* breathless.
It was great to see you both... come back to my corner of the globe SOON!!
