camping essentials
One of my favorite things about spring is the re-emergence of camping weather! Camping is one of my absolute favorite ways to spend a long weekend, but I know that for a lot of people, just the idea of spending a night or two outdoors sounds nothing short of horrendous – and, yes, without the…

a day in stockholm
As some of you know, we spent the last two weeks of December in Stockholm. My dad lives there, and it’s where our family always meets up on the holidays. On one (rare) sunny day, we decided to venture out into the cold and tour the city before the sun went down. Our plan was…

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…
