Looks Who’s On The Cover!
Jen and Mila did a photo session at Campbell Salgado Studios this summer. When Portland Family Magazine was looking for a cover for its “What is Love?” issue, Kim Campbell picked a photo from that session.
With our OK, Mila’s career as a cover model is now officially launched! Now we can become unreasonable and […]

Smith and Bybee Lakes
One of our favorite nature spots in town is Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area on N Marine Dr. It is a great, kid-friendly outing any time of year (and it doesn’t hurt that it is only a 10-15 minute drive from the house).
We went for a stroll there on Sunday and enjoyed a […]

Long Live the Queen!
Mila’s godparents were in town from Seattle this weekend. As a special dining treat we went to Queen of Sheba for a delicious Ethiopian feast.
For the uninitiated, Ethiopian food is a communal family dining experience. You eat with your hands and all the food is served on a single platter. The platter is covered with a […]

Smiles, Smiles Everyone
There have been some grins here and there but now the boy is giving it away for free…Is there anything as joyful as a smiling baby?

Yes your highness…
Dinner time has been a little problematic lately.
We do not provide Mila a “kids meal.” She eats the same thing we do. This had never been an issue in the past but recently she has been declaring that she “hates” this or that. Also a variety of foods she has previously loved have suddenly and […]

A boy and his donut
What is the Fuentes family secret guilty pleasure? Donuts! Not just any donuts, we dig Tonalli’s Donuts on the corner of NE 28th & Alberta.
This is a family run joint with donuts made fresh daily. They have the right amount of dough and the right amount of love. My special indulgence is the apple […]

OFFICE awaits you…
Have you heard of Office? Not the show - which we loved before our TV blew-up - but the store. The cultural experience known as OFFICE.
We dropped in today to say hey to Tony and browse. It is always a stop for us during our Alberta street strolls.
OFFICE is one of those stores that has […]

Mmmm, Tamales…
Last night there was someone knocking at our door. I’m always a little hesitant to answer the door when no one is expected but in answer to my “who is it?” was a small voice, announcing “Tamales for sale!”
A young boy and his mother were going door-to-door offering still hot, delightful tamales with chicken […]
