Hey, I’m Tonya

Mom and two kids posed with a harbor in the background.

I'm a longtime journalist, former community government reporter, and PNW mom-of-two. I started this blog because sometimes you just need to get out of the house.

Writing makes me happy, and I’ve been involved in newspapers one way or another since high school.

I currently live in Gig Harbor, Washington with my husband Bowen; and our two kiddos, Clara and Wyatt. We moved here from SLO County (aka a sunny slice of coastal California definitely worthy of your next vacation!)

Now that we’re on the Puget Sound, I’m scouting out all the family-friendly things to do here. I don't post as many to the blog these days, but you'll find kid adventure articles from me twice a month in Gig Harbor Now, the best online news nonprofit in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Hope to see ya out there!

Meet Clara

When Clara isn't adventuring, she's an awesome artista, loves to run and can hear an ice cream truck from 5 miles away :) Last year, she learned to play Bowen's saxophone and this year she's in jazz band!

Meet Wyatt

When Wyatt isn't adventuring, he loves reading Garfield comics, hanging with his cats and for the past few years has taken an interest in acting and stage crew work with a local theatre group.
