Whether you're picking apples with the family in Hood River or purchasing them from a local vendor, apples are a fall-time staple
Pumpkin has long reigned the king of autumn-themed foods, but for me, it's apples. Whether you're picking apples with the family in Hood River or purchasing them from a local vendor, apples are a fall-time staple to keep in the kitchen once the temperatures begin to dwindle.

Coming together in a world full of distance
Traditionally, the holidays are one of the happiest times of the year for families, bringing loved ones together from afar while engaging in traditions passed down through the years from great-grandparents to parents, and now onto the children.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Bend teach core values.
When you picture your child after school, you probably want an image in your head of them running around with friends, eating a healthy snack or doing some other kind of enriching activity. What you don't want to picture is them sitting around, staring at a screen all day long.
