bringing you all of the best of the pacific northwest
Let me tell you what friends... making a baby is hard work! So hard that it took all of my energy for the past year, and I had none left to give back to my blog. I am however happy to say that baby is here, healthy, and we are doing great as a family. We are doing well enough that I have got my spark back and am excited to be chipping away at my blog again!
Celebrating my first year as a blogger, and hi-lighting some of my favorite posts along the way. Thank you all for following me here at Abbey Co. and I hope to be checking in with you this time next year with lots more to share!
Birthday month was amazing! If you missed any of my posts or recipes, here is a chance to look back on my favorite things from September. The hi-light for me was trying the new Jason Wilson restaurant in Bellevue, the Lakehouse!

The month of July feels like it might as well have been 15 minutes long! This month was very busy and has me looking forward to a little bit of relaxation and time to let loose in August. We have a vacation planned with friends in Chelan coming up this month... what are all of you looking forward to the rest of your summer?
Getting readers of course is the ultimate goal of a blogger, so how do you write a blog post that people will actually read? I think the key is realizing the world we live in is busy and over-stimulated. Keep things short and sweet, and focus on your visual content as much as your written. Hopefully this post brings you some helpful advice and tips! <3
Chickpea Gyros - one of my favorite Meatless Monday Recipes! I find them very filling and my husband and toddler agree. This is a vegetarian recipe that no one should pass up!
Month of May Recap 2017. We had the chance to go boating on Lake Washington, took TWO trips to Eastern Washington (specifically Lake Chelan and Leavenworth), and finally caught some sun! I had some great recipes to share along with info on a few spectacular Washington Wineries. Looking forward to bringing you a lot more in June! Happy (almost) summer)!
