At the end of July and the first week of August we, my husband and I, set out on a multi-destination adventure. What sounded great in theory months ago ended up being exhausting and fun in practice. While we could have done things differently, when everything backed up to one another in a particular way, [...]

Wear it Wednesday | How to pack practically for a multi-destination trip
My biggest obstacle when packing is not the “I want to pack my whole closet just because I want to” attitude but the “I want to pack my whole closet because I love to wear all these things and want to wear them on this trip” attitude. When you have a wardrobe you love and [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Dressember Accessories for Cold Climates
I've been a Dressember participant since 2014. This means some of my experience with Dressember was in the warm and mild winter weather of Central California.

Moab Utah 2021

Wear It Wednesday | Coordinating Outfits for Photo Sessions
I find coordinating outfits for photo sessions to be fairly easy actually. It can seem daunting what if their shade of green isn't the same as the green in my my husband's plaid shirt? Honestly, probably no one will notice, in general a little effort makes it easy for everyone to look like they belong [...]
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 [...]
