Camping Throwback: Gordon Gulch

It's Saturday and as it gets closer to spring, I'm dreaming more and more about camping, so I thought I might post a throwback to our first camping trip last summer.  During our first year of regular camping in 2015, we learned that we much pre[...]

Last Camping Trip Of Summer

Today's the first day of fall, but it's been hot and still quite summer-like in northern Colorado, so I'm still feeling every much in summer mode.  It's all most a month late, but I'm finally getting around to sharing our last camping trip[...]

A Weekend With Friends in Medicine Bow National Forest

Lately, all I've been posting have been giant photo bomb posts of the mountains, but I'm finding our forays into the wilderness around us so breathtaking that it's hard not to share.  We planned four camping trips this summer, one per month Jun[...]

Backyard Camping

After our trial run last fall in the freezing cold with borrowed gear and a sick baby, we crazily decided that camping regularly was something we wanted to do...because it really could only be uphill from there, right? &[...]

Film Friday: Our Camping Trip

Just in case you didn't get enough of our camping trip, I also made a little video with clips from it.  I really cannot wait until next summer when we decide to take the plunge and get our own tent so we can be out in the woods on a regular bas[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
