From rickety lemonade stands to hitting the town, some things never change, including our love for a sweet and sour citrus beverage. The Tom Collins is what I like to think of as grown-up lemonade. A mix of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda, this drink has all the tart, bubble, and tang you’re looking for to cool off on these warm summer nights. 🍋

Don’t have the ingredients to make it at home? Order one at Matthew’s Honest Cocktails in downtown Bellingham (Matthew's of Bellingham).

Children of the Setting Sun Productions is chock-full of kind, educated, friendly individuals who have made it their life mission to advocate for the environment, human rights, and Native history.

They are now working to establish a permanent destination that will be open to the public at the old Mindport Exhibits space in Downtown Bellingham. Named Setting Sun Circle (for now), this building will contain a contemporary Salish gallery, a theater, a meditation garden, maker spaces, a woodshop, and many other educational experiences.

This year’s Whatcom County Home & Lifestyle Show was even more exciting than usual, thanks to special guests like gardening guru Ciscoe Morris and the twin stars of HGTV’s “Unsellable Houses”—and, of course, we were there too, meeting readers and handing out free magazines! ♥️

The crowds were full of couples across all age ranges, families with little kids (their tiny hands stuffed with balloons, candy, and branded swag), and industry professionals, all looking to get inspired and learn about local home and lifestyle businesses. From live demonstrations and design exhibits to a family fun zone and excellent food trucks, there was something for everyone!

Thank you Building Industry Association of Whatcom County for a great weekend!
