explore. create. celebrate.
The beginning of the holiday season is fast approaching. Thankfully (!)

| We are two small-town girls who moved to big cities and eventually found ourselves back in our hometown of Yakima, deep in the heart of Central Washington’s wine country. This blog documents our quest to get to know our hometown in a way we didn’t before and recreate some of the things we loved about urban living. |
