Is seeing a National Park on your list of things to do this summer? It was for us. We just got back yesterday from one of America’s most beautiful National Parks – Yellowstone! We visited the geysers, thermal pools, paint pots, lookout valleys and more. I have a TON of photos to sort through and […]

I know this is going to hurt my husband’s feelings but I am going to say it anyway. When we got married and moved in together, I dreaded the furniture that I would acquire from his past bachelor college days. Oh lawdy, he had some pretty hideous stuff. Luckily he let me buy new bedroom […]

We live in Colorado for a reason. No, it’s not just because of the beautiful sunshine or the fact this is where my husband decided to plant his roots, but more so because of the plethora of amazing outdoor activities at our doorstep! We love to go hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, and camping! Our equipment? Historically […]
