“I want to throw this whole fucking house away.” This is something that is said no less than four times a month- and probably more often than that, if we are being real. Whether it’s me and my ADHD, the fact that there’s play-doh ground into the carpet, I got behind on laundry again, or…

I had the opportunity to attend The Wiz during its recent run at the Keller Auditorium, and it was clear from the start that this production knows exactly what it wants to be: bold, high-energy, and unapologetically music-forward. For anyone unfamiliar, The Wiz is a soulful reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, blending R&B, funk,…
There are shows that entertain you, and then there are shows that transport you. A Beautiful Noise did both. From the very first note, the musical pulled me straight into Neil Diamond’s world—the shimmer of his rise, the ache of his solitude, and the honesty that runs through every song he ever wrote. The structure…
Christmas is in the air! Okay, maybe not, but these schnapps soaked cherry bombs have me whistling Christmas carols and wishing is was snowing outside. After being soaked in peppermint schnapps overnight, these cherry bombs are dipped in pure white chocolate, and rolled around in peppermint candy. The perfect treat for a holiday party, or…

Earlier this week, I headed to the Keller Auditorium to see Shucked, one of the newest additions to the Broadway in Portland season lineup. I’d seen the buzz around it for months — a bright, musical comedy about a corn-loving small town that promised to be “the funniest thing since The Book of Mormon.” With…
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword in construction — it’s a demand. Developers, contractors, and even homeowners are looking for materials that don’t just look good but also reduce waste, lower energy use, and last longer. The wall materials you choose can directly impact everything from a building’s carbon footprint to its long-term maintenance…
Broadway in Portland is keeping things lively at the start of this season with Some Like It Hot, a fresh, tap-dancing reimagining of the beloved 1959 film. The show blended comedy, jazz-age sparkle, and heartfelt storytelling into a high-energy night at the Keller Auditorium. And guess what? We even have a local in the cast!…
If you’re a dog owner, you’ve probably heard of rawhide chews. Maybe you’ve even picked up a few packs thinking you were treating your pup to something tasty and fun. After all, they’re labeled as treats, sold everywhere, and even marketed as “long-lasting.” So they must be safe, right? Well, not exactly. Despite its popularity,…
Autumn brings beautiful moments: leaf piles, pumpkin patches, crisp air. But let’s be honest: for new parents, it also brings daily stress over what your baby should wear. One hour it’s cold, the next it’s warm, and by evening, the chill is back. How are you supposed to keep your child comfortable without making them…
You missed your period, felt some bloating, and there is a dull ache in your lower abdomen. Yeah, perhaps the hormones could be behind it. Or stress may have also caused it. But, many times, it is something you did not expect. One such issue is an ovarian cyst. The name sounds serious, but the…
