I love this piece from this time last year, not only because it still rings true, but because it’s just a fun one. In it, Samm Davidson gets real blunt about how much she hates kid slang, but she also realizes she’s partly to blame. I know you’ll feel seen.

If you want the wine country escape without the straw hats and side-eye, The Inn at Dayton in Oregon is exactly what you need. This 12-room boutique newcomer sits in a beautifully restored brick building that gives off the comforting small-town charm while still feeling refined. It’s design-forward without being a design showoff, with handcrafted furnishings, natural textures, and sunlight that makes your skin look suspiciously well-rested (don’t worry, your secret’s safe). Breakfast shows up at your door — no buffet tongs required — and there’s a daily wine social, because obviously. Set in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, you’re minutes from world-class Pinot, farm-to-table dining, and the kind of downtown where everyone still smiles at strangers.
