Life
This is our life. The nitty-gritty, day-to-day story of what we’re doing and our adventures as a family. Sometimes detailed, often mostly a photo journal, filled with lots of pictures of cute little people and occasional longer reflections on Hinds family happenings.

You Know I’m Feeling Better When…
My mom called me a couple of days ago and asked me, “Did you really stay up until 3 am working on a website?” Why, yes I did. I’ve been feeling great and aside from the little scar at the base of my throat, I hardly feel like I even had surgery. Though that one…

Drawing a Line
There are moments in life when a line is drawn. Moments that have a very distinct before and after, and that completely change the course of our lives. Most days life is a blur of tiny changes, growth, and gradual movement from one phase to the next until suddenly we look down and realize our baby is…

Fourth of July Weekend
We were in new territory again this year for the Fourth, discovering how our new town celebrates. The girls and I got up and rushed out the door in time to make it to a parade through old town. We watch the first few floats go by, then joined up with Nora’s elementary school and…

Father’s Day Weekend
Sometimes I still miss salty air and the sound of the ferry boat leaving the harbor — most likely, I will forever miss the ocean and rhythm of days 30 miles out-to-sea. But here, in Colorado, with rivers, fresh mountain air, and a town full of fun things to do, I can almost forget that I…

This and That
I have lost track of what has been said and what hasn’t. The last few weeks have been so filled with ups and downs, good and bad, big, exciting moments and little wonderful ones. Did I ever update you on our house? We went up to Gillette at the end of April, did some work on…

The Latest Path in Our Journey
The last few weeks, we have found ourselves walking down a very unexpected path. The short story is that I have a nodule on my thyroid for which I am about to undergo a second round of testing to hopefully rule out cancer. The longer version of the story goes something like this: Two years…

Mother’s Day
📍 ColoradoThere’s been a lot of perfection lately. Monday we had fun discovering a new park after an awesomely killer stroller strides class. There was gorgeous summer weather, friends, and a fossil-filled wall perfect for climbing. Even our little bee was able to climb off the ground. I was at once amazed and terrified by her…

Moving Forward
These two girls are my world. They make me happier than anything I ever could have imagined, and I feel so lucky to have them in my life. The last few months there have been a lot of challenging moments. A lot. I’ve realized that we are in one of the natural low points of the…

Life As We Know It or Why Contracts for Deed are the Worst Thing Ever
I spent most of today in this very spot, staring at this very print. In fact, it was the subject of today’s photo for my 365 project. I had a couple of maintenance requests to fulfill for my lovely past clients, and I finished up both a logo and a new website so I spend…

Some Recent Joy
Just in case you are wondering, this is going to be one of those photo dump posts… The weather has been flirting with spring, and the end of last week was quite lovely. I spend my birthday hiking around a new park with the girls and a tribe of mamas and little ones. The weather…

30 Before 30
Today I am 29 years old and just one year away from 30. While I’m not one to get distressed about the big 3-0, the last year of my twenties does seem like a pretty significant milestone to let go by unrecognized. So I thought, why not put together a list of things I would…

Weekend Joy
There was lots of joy to be found at the end of last week. The weather is getting warmer which means we are venturing out more and more, meeting friends at the playground for first teeter-totter rides: Or are they see-saws? Either way, this was a playground winner. We have a decent sized fenced yard…
