Frozen berries + white wine on a hot afternoon How is it already Thursday? This week has been flying by, in the best of ways. Yesterday we said goodbye to Chase, C’s brother, who stayed with us last week as he is already on summer break and wanted to come meet his new nephew. During his […]

dream room
Umm, how utterly GORGEOUS is this bedroom decor? The combination of the Mexican serape, the bright pillows, and the fluffy sheepskin just make me want to crawl under the covers with a good book. We are starting to think about our next place of residence (yay renting!), and my head is buzzing with decor ideas. […]

a sunday at the park
Hey guys, I’ve got a random little post today, but so what? I took these a couple of weekends ago, before little baby Max was born. It was one of those weekends where the weather was nice, but I was just as happy to curl up on the couch and watch Downton Abbey read a […]

life after college
Hi friends!Welcome to May! In a few weeks it will officially be one year since I completed grad school, which has got me thinking about the past year. Despite having been in school for, oh, let’s say, the last 20-or-so years, I think I probably learned the most about myself during my first year out […]

Wanna go on a hike? Let’s go! Today’s trail is Hewlett Gulch, to the northwest of Fort Collins. Make sure to bring some water and snacks, and to tell someone where you are going (you don’t want this happening, do you?) Be warned: you may come upon a beast or two… But don’t worry. The […]

margarita break
HAPPY FRIDAY!! The sun is shining, the wind is ceasing, I’m feeling better – what more could one ask for? How about a drink? Last Saturday, a few of us gathered at the Rio for their famous margaritas (so strong, they have a 3-drink limit!) and a bit of catch up. Soon the tequila was […]

Contrary to what you might think, I have been taking some photos other than those for the challenge. As such, I’ve collected a few bits and bobs of my life as of late, which have included a lot of DIY projects (coming to the blog sooooon!), amazing breakfasts, binge-watching Mad Men, and having fun with […]

2014 resolutions
Happy new year! I am one of those people who LOVES anything to do with new beginnings, fresh starts, and setting up goals to achieve. Now, the actual achievement of those goals is a whole different thing…but never mind that now. It’s definitely a cliche for bloggers to post their new year’s resolutions, but who […]

diy gift guide
I love making gifts for people. It’s cost-effective, usually not too difficult, and makes the giving so much more fun. Of course, I’m the type who works on home-made gifts for YEARS and then am torn about whether, eight years later, to actually give the 2001-era rhinestone encrusted jewelry box to my friend or simply […]
