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 [...]

Wear It Wednesday | A21 Walk for Freedom Colorado Springs
This was Travis and I's second year participating in the A21 Walk for Freedom, the purpose of the walk is to raise awareness of modern day human trafficking. This is one way we both participate to share about human trafficking, while I don't fundraise hard enough for the A21 walk I make up for it [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Dressember 2019 Accessories for Cold Climates
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. Last year, I made a huge effort to wear a dress EVERYDAY even when I was working from home or didn't particularly want to get dressed. Since moving back to [...]
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 [...]
33 Things for my 33rd Birthday
I’m 33. Let that sink in for a moment. Phew. Okay, so I’ve been chasing big dreams for the last few years and even if it looks like sunshine and rainbows from the outside I’m here to tell it is not. Lots of late nights, lots of waiting to get paid, lots of NO’s, lots [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Dressember 2019 | Colorado Springs Hike in a Dress
Due to insane spring weather in Colorado Springs, I had to postone our Colorado Springs remote 5k earlier this week. When contemplating when to reschedule it for, I thought, why are we running? The point of the run is to show you can do anything in a dress, but we're Colorado and one thing Coloradians [...]
