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. A few years ago, I made a huge effort to wear a dress every day even when I was working from home or didn't particularly want to get dressed. [...]

Wear it Wednesday | How to look stylish & be functional in the mountains
I live in Colorado, the pervasiveness of functional clothing is everywhere, and when you plan to spend any amount fo time outdoors, functional is necessary. But you can look cute too. We recently went up to the mountains for our church’s annual retreat, while we didn’t end up staying overnight (dog mom problems) we did [...]

I've been a Dressember participant since 2014. Which means most of my experience with Dressember was in warm and mild winter weather of Central California.

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 [...]

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 [...]
Estes Park 2019
Moving and living out of state from your family means the time you have together is always a little sweeter. Yes, I love my family but I also really love not living in Texas where the heat and bugs are bigger. Since moving back to Colorado in 2017, we've made a mindful attempt for me [...]
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 [...]
Walk for Freedom | 2018 Colorado Springs
I'm not sure where I get my strong sense of fairness and ethics. I'm always surprised when I meet people and I get into my strong ethics they ask if I was ever in animal rescue. Yeah? Why? My strong love for justice for the oppressed and the innocent is deep, it flows through every [...]
July 2018 | Wrap Up Post
Well, it seems I totally flaked and forgot to update you on the month of July. Although if you've been reading along, you know a huge portion of this month was devoted to a family vacation, which was a much-needed break from reality. Instead of buying gifts for our birthdays this month, Travis and I [...]
