God didn't create this Earth & us, people, to watch us destroy Her creation and each other. God didn't call us to 'dominion' over the earth to ruin it, to suck the very life out of it, to cause climate change, or kill the most vulnerable through our greed and selfishness. We are failing this [...]

2022 New Adventures
In January 2020, I was talking with a friend and she mentioned that they were planning to rent out the second floor of their home. At the time, we were just beginning a new lease at our apartment, we usually signed 12-18 month-long leases because honestly, it was the only way we could afford to [...]
Painted Mines 2019
On a recent visit with a friend, we ventured out to Calhan, Colorado to hike Painted Mines Park. This interpretive park is in the opposite direction of most things in Colorado Springs, you will need to leave town and go east to Calhan. I’m really great at getting lost and with the help of my [...]
Wear It Wednesday | How to dress for Spring in Colorado
I intentionally waited to write or conceptualize this post until the snow stopped. So, let’s just say this if for dressing in spring in Colorado, between May and June, because that is actually what I’m writing about. If you’re looking for advice on what to wear between March-May, I recommend clothing from every season plus [...]
Women’s Retreat @ RMMC 2019
This is such a strange time, self care is both encouraged by society but not so much that it becomes the only thing on your mind. It’s emotional, physical, and spiritual. Some Christians downright don’t like it as it comes across to them as selfish and indulgent. In case you haven’t heard, my husband suffers [...]
February 2018 | Impact Day | Red Rock Canyon Open Space
This is my first season as a Wild Keeper and I couldn't be more excited! Initially I planned to join the group clean up at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, but as Impact day grew closer I realized I didn't want to be driving and going that far in a potential snow storm. Instead, I [...]
Why ‘Made in the USA’ matters in the Ethical Conversation
This week we are focusing on made in USA brands. These are brands I wholey trust and support. So, why does made in the USA matter to the ethical business conversation. It matters because we (Americans) have learned a lot the hard way. Change is hard it's better for employees and in the long run [...]
September Fun- Oakland Athletic’s
My parents came to visit this month and my dad had 2 requests: an Oakland A's game and Lake Tahoe. While the Tahoe one is easy, they rented a car for 3 days in the mountains, deciding on which A's game to attend was a bit more up in the air. Eventually we settled on [...]
September Fun- Kendra’s California Trip Part 2
Kendra had one thing she wanted to do while in California, the Winchester House of Sarah Winchester in San Jose California... It wasn't really on my radar but it ended up being really cool from a weird architectural standpoint. Travis just thought it was really crazy and the guide was a little too 'enthusiastic' but [...]
May 2015 | Giants vs Dodgers
The second half of our recent trip to the Bay was spent in the city, San Francisco. We got to the city by noon and headed to a sports bar to eat lunch and so Travis' dad could watch the A's play the Astros, his home team. When Travis and I were dating and engaged [...]
