Greetings!

Like you, we are settling into Fall routines. Kids are back in school (whew!) and planning is well underway for the fifth installment of the Better Living Show next March. So much is going on already for the 2012 show that you might receive a couple extra notes from us this year!

We enjoyed taking a moment to reflect on last Spring's show as we put together the photo tours. Be sure and check them out and let us know which picture brings a smile to your face!

Pedal Nation Co-locates with Better Living Show!

It's always nice to have good neighbors. Now there's just one more great reason to come out to the Portland Expo Center next March. Pedal Nation PDX BICYCLE SHOW

The PDX Bicycle Show is Portland's largest display of bicycles, gear and apparel under one roof.

This show will be in Hall E, right next door to the Better Living Show. And like the Better Living Show, there are so many cool activities--you're definitely going to want to make a day of it at the Expo Center so you have plenty of time for both events!

Our Favorite Photos...Tell Us Yours!

Every year at this time, we have fun looking back at the last show and putting together some of our favorite pictures. Take a look at this year's album and tell us which photo you like (maybe you are in one).

Every year it seems like the house feature just gets better and better. I loved the tiles in the shower this year--our first year featuring a bathroom! Tour NW Natural's Blue Home for a bit of Fall inspiration for your home.
