Every once in a while it’s good to disappear. To pull on your coziest fleece, to tie on your sneakers, to escape into the woods or underneath the covers or anywhere that gives you a rest from the sameness of your usual days. If nothing else, disappearing reminds you that your usual days don’t really have to be so usual. For the past week, James and I have been exploring the Oregon coast from our perch at my brother-in-law’s family beach house. There have been checkers played with beach stones, big pots of fresh tomato sauce on the stove, breathless hikes, and foggy, spruce-filled forests.
If you’d like to follow along, I’ve been posting instagrams when I’ve been able to find a signal. If not, I’ll be back in this space next week. Refreshed, renewed, and ready to begin again with more breaks for reading good books and beating James at board games.
Cheers to disconnecting.

I'm so jealous! I especially like the pictures of the water; they make me want to wade out into the ocean and go swimming, even though I rarely swim! Have fun on your break!

Lovely site.
The pacific northwest is so incredibly stunning and awe inspiring! Are you all close enough to Florence to make a day trip? Those gigantic dunes are so rad, one of the coolest things I saw on a route 1 road trip ages ago.
Erin, publish a coffee-table book of your photos and I will be your first drooling customer. You have a gift, girl.
I am from Oregon and currently living in Arizona. AZ has its charms too, but all these lovely OR photos are making me quite homesick!
