From Portland to Peonies.

I'm Liz. I live in NW Portland with my husband, Corey, and our French Bulldog/Boston Terrier pup, Henry. I’m a newlywed, aspiring photographer, a curious cook, a hopeful baker, an interior design wannabe and so much more. I've been blogging about our life in Portland for a little over two years, and in a couple weeks we'll be moving to Amsterdam and I plan on blogging about our adventures living and loving in a new city (and continent!).
