I couldn’t have said it better myself! 🥰

It has been so long since we have been treated to a such a fabulous meal! For our 12th engagement anniversary, Chef Reannan Keene of @izzyscomfortkitchen invited us to experience her legendary hospitality, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ve had such a tough year, and her kindness truly meant the world!!! 🥹 Thanks to her incredible team, we enjoyed a dizzying array of dishes that were beautifully prepared with all the love they could muster, and we definitely felt it. The meal was designed to inspire conversation and a leisurely pace, and our servers were so lovely. Some of the best in the business. They never missed a beat. I also have to say hello to Chef Shawn - getting to reconnect with you was a highlight! ♥️ If you are planning a special meal with people you love, this is one of the best in the area. Thank you again, Chef, for giving us a night to remember! 🫶🏻

🥰 Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m obsessed with @frenchtoastmamamini at @riverparksquare! This shop is absolutely adorable. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have such a cute store downtown with so many amazing products for babies and toddlers all in one place! Some of my favorite reasons for shopping here is that everything is high-quality and made with kids in mind. They are durable, beautiful, and practical for any of the littles in your life. Their staff also has excellent advice if you need help purchasing a gift for a friend or family member. We learned so much with our visit to French Toast, and it is amazing how far products have come for children since I had my boys! Almost made me want to have even more kids. Almost. 😉

🧖‍♀️ I don’t know if you already knew this, but Nordstrom offers free makeovers, and they are customized for what *you* are hoping to achieve. I popped into @nordstrom_spokane in @riverparksquare (our amazing brand partners) recently and left feeling like I’d unlocked a cheat code for better skincare and makeup thanks to Soul! Today I got a masterclass in updating my routine and skills using the products I already own, and learned about some simple changes to improve my natural beauty aesthetic. Products have come so far in the last decade—what worked ten years ago might not be cutting it now. During my session, Soul (an expert makeup artist and esthetician) was an absolute *gem*. She walked me through everything with patience and humor, customizing recommendations that didn’t feel pushy or overwhelming. Plus, it was surprisingly fun to just play with new looks in such a relaxed setting (no judgment here if you want to try that bold lip or dramatic liner, or you want a more natural look like me). From skincare upgrades to contour techniques tailored to your face shape and age, this experience felt like a reset button for my beauty routine. It was like a mini spa day. Of course I left with some new products to refresh my makeuo bag, too. You can schedule directly on their website, and I highly recommend using their app to navigate all of the different services they offer, including custom tailoring, facials, stylist appointments and more. These appointments are the kind of self-care that’s equal parts empowering and practical, so whether you’re a beauty pro or just need to shake things up, Nordstrom’s got your back. 🥂

Our @wsspokane in @riverparksquare is one of the ultimate shopping destinations in downtown Spokane—especially if you love entertaining as much as I do!

They’re like personal kitchen consultants, ensuring that everything you pick out is top-notch and fits your style. 😉 Williams Sonoma transforms your entire cooking experience.

One of my favorite holiday activities - watching kids sing carols! 🥰 The @svsummertheatre works with these phenomenally talented youth from @ponderosaelementary and they entertained the waiting crowd before their big band show. Warmed my heart so much. Whatever you are celebrating, we hope you enjoy time with the people you love most!

We were SO EXCITED to visit @laverree - a brand new wine bar downtown that has gorgeous cocktails and a self pour wine station for you to try a wide variety of local and global varietals. It is a family owned business, and would be the perfect spot for you to gather with your girlfriends for a night out this holiday season. Ringing in the holidays this year, Trending Northwest Magazine and the @downtownspokane have joined forces to bring downtown’s favorite restaurants and cafes’ holiday menus to life. To help you get in the holiday spirit, we’ll be sharing these delicious recipes, each with a unique story behind it on TrendingNorthwest.com!
