Moab Utah 2021
In late May, we finally made it to Moab. As a Coloradian, Moab is like our neighbor's cool playground that everyone goes too. We spent 3 full days in Moab enjoying the National Parks and playing downtown. We barely scratched the surface of things to do in Moab, so be sure to research exactly what [...]
Brand Highlight | Balthazar & Rose
A few years ago for Christmas my husband bought me, my first Fauta from Balthazar & Rose. Proceeds benefited (RED) an organization my husband is passionate about. It has become one of my favorite, most versatile, and unique accessories! I have 2 fautas and you'll often see me snuggling up on the couch with it [...]
Finished Reading | Taste and See by Margaret Feinberg
I am not a foodie. I do love to eat but I don’t make amazing yummy food for the eye and for the stomach. I do on occasion read cookbooks, weird I know but it’s oddly satisfying. Try it some time. In case we haven’t met before, I take book recommendations from IG friends and [...]
Trip Update | Philadelphia September 2018
Well, I finally made it to Philadelphia! Technically, it was a business trip but I made a whole thing of it because I'd never been before. There are no direct flights from COS to PHL, so I flew out of the Springs and went to Chicago for the first time. I wasn't worried about my [...]

National Park Series | Theodore Roosevelt National Park | North Dakota
We visited Theodore Roosevelt NP in 2013 as part of a 7 state road trip, some may have called us crazy for such an epic trip and since hindsight is 20\20 I would totally agree with them. Theodore Roosevelt NP has 2 parts, a North & a South unit. We spent a majority of our [...]

Travis & I visited Wyoming on a road trip in 2013, we headed out of Colorado towards Kansas, then up to Nebraska, South & North Dakota where we hit Theodore Roosevelt National Park, over to Montana where we did Little Bighorn Battlefield & Pompey's Pillar. On our way back to Colorado, we made sure to [...]
National Park Series | Introduction
It never crossed my mind to write about all the National Parks I've visited and I have one in my own backyard! As a kid my parents took me and my sister to see a lot of the parks in the Southwest of the United States, my husband and I have continued the tradition and [...]
Finished Reading: We Stood Upon Stars
I love short stories, maybe it's because of my short attention span but I love how people are able to tell a well developed story, truth or made up in a concise way. I also love traveling. And I love a good adventure with some deep perspective. Roger W. Thompson's book We Stood Upon Stars; [...]
