Last week, I shared about how I packed a capsule wardrobe for a one week trip back to Texas for Thanksgiving. Wearing a capsule wardrobe meant rewearing pieces, which doesn't bother me but the world is constantly telling us to constantly be wearing new things, and rewearing pieces is some how shameful? In my original [...]

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 [...]
Canon City 2018
Well, the 2018 Shelby's family come to Colorado for vacation was a hit. We had fun to say the least. The closest to a family vacation with all of us before this one was all of us in Vegas a few years ago for my dad's birthday. This was even better. My mom found us [...]
Saving the World

That's what my dad calls Toms and other brands that give back. Now many for-profit businesses have varying opinions on the 'something for nothing' model that Toms [...]
Diary 2/14/2017
This is not some lovey-dovey valentine's post. Sorry. Last Saturday my Grandfather who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer before Christmas passed on February 11.

September Fun- Lake Tahoe
The second thing on my parents to do list while in California this trip was to visit Lake Tahoe. Even though I couldn't make it up on Monday when they headed up, Asher and I made our way up the next day. It was only 24 hours since they'd last seen Asher and boy did they [...]
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 [...]
Weekend Getaway | Seattle, WA
Travis and I recently went on a last minute weekend getaway to Seattle. There were a lot of reasons to go on this trip, most importantly is we went and had a weekend of fun and some relaxing while not in the 109 degree Modesto heat. We started our trip with a day in downtown [...]
