zeus
We got to catch up with a lot of friends and family while in France, but one of my favorite reunions was with this cutie! Meet Zeus; sheep herder, village dog, and ultimate cuddle bug. It feels like he’s been around my whole life, but I just learned that he is actually 10 years young,…

snowy day
Right before we left for Sweden – more posts to come on that, by the way- our nephew contracted Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), which is a real thing (it sounds made up to me) and very common with little ones. Because it’s so contagious, little Max was put in ‘quarantine’ and made to stay…

pumpkin patchin’
Last weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch! Saturday afternoon, we joined Conrad’s sister Adrienne and her kiddo Max on a little trip to Bartel’s Farm, just north of town. Haley, who is currently recovering from a ruptured cyst (ewww), was there. too. Max made sure to keep a special watch over her. Once at the farm, we…

saying goodbye
This is a hard post to write, so bear with me. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you will know that last week we said goodbye to our big puppy, Tobias. I wanted to write a blog post about the whole thing because for me, writing is therapeutic and I’m generally better at…

she’s baaaaack
Happy Monday! I’m back from a wonderful, restful, and energizing weekend in New Mexico with my parents. They leave the US tomorrow, and since I work full-time, I didn’t really get to spend all that much time with them. When they invited me to join them for an impromptu road trip to Taos and Santa…

drake road farmer’s market
I love farmer’s markets (honestly, who doesn’t? Free samples are pretty much my idea of heaven), but, embarrassingly, have never been to one in Fort Collins! Ridiculous, I know. I attribute it to the fact that in grad school I was almost always up late on Friday nights (usually writing a paper, no fun stuff),…

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…

hewlett gulch
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…
