24 Things I Now Know

June 19, 2013 by Hillary 10 Comments

1. Keep calm and call your mom.

2. You don’t have to finish everything you start… this doesn’t mean you failed.

3. Thank your Dad for insisting a spare car key be affixed with duct tape underneath your vehicle.

4. Buy a couch made for afternoon naps.

5. Moms love you to the moon and back, despite whatever wild rocket ship you take them on.

6. A movie that doesn’t interest you is not always a waste of time; learn from it.

7. Eat local. It tastes better.

8. The Swede in me doesn’t do sun tans.

9. I prefer vegetables in my cake, skip the frosting.

10. The name Hillary seems it will always be a nickname magnet.

11. Say “I love you” more.

12. Ice cream: the simpler, the better.

13. Make messes — the clean up is that much more satisfying.

14. All traditions have an expiration date.

15. You don’t always have to run that extra mile.

16. Ask questions.

17. Scratches and scars are inevitable; embrace them.

18. Yoga and meditation are no hocus pocus.

19. Buy the overpriced shoes; you’re worth it.

20. Do not fret the future.

21. A chocolate chip binge won’t kill you.

22. Grandmas have you on their mind at all times.

23. Buy yourself fresh flowers.

24. Endings = beginnings.

Today is, in fact, my twenty fourth birthday. A casual day it’s been, filled with simple pleasures: an early {24-minute} sunrise run, iced coffee, fresh flowers, friendly phone calls, veggie sushi, and homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
