Point Defiance Zoo for Family Fun

Posted by Lisa Corelli No Comments »

 I am a late bloomer on starting my family.  I wanted to get my business established in the Real Estate industry before my husband and I started our family.  We have since done that and our son is going on 3 in November.  Wow it’s true about what people say about the time flying as we get older.
My husband and I started reading to Jackson since he was born and so his first words were animal sounds.
We started taking him to the zoo and found ourselves going every weekend.  If I had to work on a Saturday, Daddy would take him.  There was a time that he had gone for 8 weeks straight between Point Defiance and Northwest Trek.
A membership is a wise choice; this would be our second year renewing our membership and have also purchased one at Northwest Trek.  Affordable entertainment, family fun and great education for the kids at the same time.

Here are some photos taken, enjoy.  My favorite is the Beluga Whale and the Walrus.

Fresh Fruit hits the spot

Posted by Lisa Corelli No Comments »

Hello friends, I know it’s been a while since I’ve written, work and life got a bit busy but I have had opportunities to take some good pictures and will be looking forward to sharing with you what I have been seeing and doing this summer besides work! :)
Every summer I look forward to all the fresh fruit and veggies.  One of my huge pet peeves is when I get home from the grocery store and cut into my Watermelon to find it mushy and tasteless! or my grapes have thick skin and are sour-yuk!
For the past 5 years my Dad who live in downtown Puyallup where the soil is superb for
Gardening started planting his own tomato plants.  It wasn’t unit I ate one of his
Fresh Cherry Tomatoes that I realized that you just can’t go wrong with either growing your own Garden or know someone who does because the taste of those cherry tomatoes was like eating A tasty treat! Who would’ve thought a tomato could taste that good.   I had heard about the place in downtown Puyallup on East Main called “Spooners Farms” that opens for the summer with fresh Strawberries, now they have blackberries and fresh corn.  I did stop this summer and let me tell you…Best Strawberries ever!

If you are in the area and get a chance to stop, you won’t be disappointed.
