Independence Hotel

 There's something so amazing about discovering gems in your hometown. 
One of them being the wonderful Independence Hotel!

We had a wonderful stay in the Junior Suite! Everything was so nice and updated in this room. With two very comfortable queen size beds, beautiful views of the river and downtown, and it was right across from a really nice playground for the kids. Our room offered a full-size refrigerator, seating area, wet bar with sink, and wonderful robes to wear down to the hot tub.

Yes, you read that right, a hot tub! There's even a very nice gym and bike amenities.

My favorite part of our stay at this hotel though? I will forever remember and love the spectacular views from the rooftop patio. It was nice to grab a coffee & some breakfast from their restaurant and head up to the rooftop deck to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Willamette River. The kids enjoyed relaxing at the huge firepit!

(Pssssst. I have to tell you, if you plan to stay, stay during Independece Day. The views for the firework show from the rooftop deck are a core-memory)




We got to try & enjoy the food at Territory Restaurant which I highly recommend on your stay here, or even if you're in the area. It's a definite must try.
I got to say, the Chicken Marsala was incredible. The kids devoured some yummy mac-n-cheese and cheeseburgers, while my husband tried their fish & chips. Each one of use was stuffed and happy.



(See that beautiful view while you eat at the Riverfront patio, so pretty, right?)
The lobby also has an open design of views of the river for if you don't want to eat outside.

Of course you have to try their dessert!
Their oversized skillet chocolate chip cookie was HUGE and so worth it, wow.



Being so close to downtown, we got to explore all the fun shops and even grabbed some ice-cream at Independent Ice Cream Shop As you can imagine, the kids were thrilled.
With so many flavors how do you choose?


Before dinner as it finally quit raining and was a pretty nice day, we played at the park. I love having a park so close by, made staying so much easier when you have kids. It's their favorite park.

(Thats the hotel in the background, see how close you are?! Perfect for when staying with kids.)

Thank you so much to everyone at Independence Hotel, we had a wonderful time. The staff were so friendly, I appreciate them for all they did to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. I'm very thankful and can't wait to come back! it's such a beautiful hotel in an amazing town! Oregon really does have its little treasures.

What Happened.. pt1

I’m going to tell you a story. Some of you know, some of you don’t. For those who don’t I’m telling my story as it’s still happening 4 years later. So I’m going to lay it all out on the table. I was pregnant with a baby girl, not Emma, her name was Makayla. I went to my regular ob appointment and I was told during my ultrasound something was wrong. She had a defect with her skull. I had never heard about this defect until that day, so I had no idea how serious it was. So when I was asked if I wanted to terminate I said no because I didn’t understand. Why would I terminate my child so easily without even knowing really why? So though I didn’t get why it was so bad by what my doctor was saying, it seemed pretty serious so I posted in a mom group asking for some prayers, that they were getting me an appointment with a specialist to see how serious her defect really was. My appointment wasn’t for a couple of days. Waiting for the appointment we did so much research on her de...

I WON'T JUDGE YOU

I don’t judge everyone that’s surrendered a pet – I’ve done it too.. Now I bet that changed your opinion of me at least a little, and the thoughts of what sort of pet owner could I possibly be. “You can’t get a pet just to get rid of them”. *Surrendering a pet = evil person* is what I’ve noticed people act like lately. While I don’t understand the silly reasons people give up their pets, like “he chewed up my furniture”. I do understand why a lot do. Things happen. Life changes so quickly.  I don’t get pets with the intention to give them up. I don’t think anyone does really. We get our pets because we want a best friend, a furry little creature to love on-Sometimes that’s not what we get. Sometimes people end up with an animal with serious behavioral problems. Sometimes horrible things happen beyond your control like allergies, money issues, etc.  So when I see all these conversations about surrendering a pet I just keep my mouth shut. I can’t help and wonder if ther...
