About Us

Hi there!

My name is Natalie. You can drop the ‘alie’ and call me Nat. No need to be formal here. I’m a wife, mom, pretty good cook, extremely amateur photographer and real big fan of whales. My family was fortunate to move to beautiful Florence, Oregon a couple years back and as we find our favorite spots on the Oregon Coast, I’ll share them with you here. From the dunes to the beaches and all of our favorite spots to adventure, explore and eat in between, come see Oregon by the Ocean with us!

 

My People!

Cam is our son. He loves cars, trucks, riding his dirt bike, fishin’ and fixing/building things. Pretty much a shorter version of his daddy.

Jackson is our other “son”. As you may have guessed, he’s adopted. He loves eating, sleeping, taking more space on the bed than he should, eating and sleeping.
