Welcome Friend

This weekend I volunteered at the @westsoundwildlife to help set up for the 18th Annual Gala Dinner and auction. An incredible wildlife charity! The event was help at @kianalodge which is amazing ... had to share 😗#wildlife #wildanimals #wildlifeshelter #eventvenue #pacificnorthwest #bainbridgeislandlife ...

Since I have been doing a closet snd drawer re- org, I thought I'd share this great video by using cubed boxes for storing multiple like items such as your overflow hair products. I thought it was a great inspiration piece to share. #homeorganization #homestyledecor #bathroomorganization #drawerorganizer #galpallife #homestyle ...

Everyday is National Sons day In our house. I love being a boy mom and I am so proud of my "ginger snaps" as I call them. Both miracle babies, both so unique, both remarkably kind and driven. I love these two with my whole ❤️ #nationalsonsday #boymom #boymomlife #familyfirst #familytime #galpallife ...

This never gets old ... the commute from Seattle is always filled with surprises. The sunset last night was beyond spectacular. I know we will all be missing these beautiful nights in a month or two so for now we must enjoy.

I think there is a lot we can all learn from Queen Elizabeth II. The world would be a much better place if we all stopped to adjust our crowns and lived by the 21 life lessons learned from the queen-just posted on the blog-link in bio. To live a life with purpose, grace and joy.

If we stop and ask why the Queen was always held in a respectful fascination by all? It easy to see that she was a popular benevolent ruler from the very beginning of her reign. It’s incredible to see how much billions of people adored and appreciated her as an exceptional leader. Her character design is something we can all aspire to. Her leadership style is something all leaders would benefit from. #queenelizabeth #lifelessons #femaleleader #bossbabe #galpallife #grace ...
