HEY! That is me. Girl in the white, puffy, parka. I didn’t know how magical long coats were until I bought this one and now I am hooked. I’m Elizabeth (or Beth – don’t be stressed or confused I answer to both!) and I have been blogging in this corner of the internet since 2010 ( I know, I’m older than I look!) Bruce is that tall man beside me and he is not only my husband of 7 years, but also the father to my children, the photographer of nearly every photo of me, and my all around BFF. That squirmy baby is Hilde Joy and baby #2 is on the way!
We live in Colorful Colorado and love to share favorite local spots and activities with you! We also LOVE to travel and frequently find ourselves at Disney. So be ready to see posts and photos from a variety of fun locations!
I’m also a mama (see picture below of my cute baby) and am preggo with baby #2 (yeah, they will be 17 months apart!!) I share a lot about that too because believe it or not, motherhood is a huge thing in my life these days!

FAQ
Where do you live?
I live in the most beautiful state – Colorado! I moved to the south for college and was so ready to move back home (humidity and bugs are not my thing!). I live with my husband in a townhouse that we bought at the base of pikes peak in a city called Colorado Springs. We live on the west side and have hiking trails across the street from us – this is my kind of living! If you are ever heading this way on vacation, I would love to give you some advice on where to go and/or meet up with you if you would like!!
Are you a Christian?
Yes! I am a Christian and it is a huge part of who I am! I believe that God sent His son to die for me, even though I am so unworthy, because He loves me. My desire is to encourage, love, and share Him with the world because in Him there is hope! I value life at every stage and I know the Lord has dreams and plans for YOU. Email me (oakandoats@gmail.com) if you ever want to chat more!
What camera do you use?
We have the Nikon Mirrorless Z6 camera. With a Nikon 28mm 1.8, Nikon Z 35mm 1.8, and the Tarmon SP 2.8 70-200mm.
What computer do you use?
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro. I take it everywhere with me and can also pop it into a doc at home on my desk!
How do you make money on your site?
I make money two main ways – sponsored posts and affiliate sales. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to work with some amazing brands and if I’m ever being paid for a blog post, it will be disclosed within the post that it’s “sponsored” or #ad. I’m also a part of several affiliate advertising programs. This means that if you click and/or make a purchase through certain links on my site or any related social media platforms (including Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest), I may make a commission from that click and/or purchase. I’m extremely selective when working with sponsors and I will only feature products and brands that I love. I turn down opportunities (and lots of money) all the time because it’s very important to me to include and only show products and companies that fit my life and style.
I love your blog! Do you have any advice for mine?
You are so sweet! While I would love to sit down with everyone and chat about their blog, I don’t have the time to! Feel free to submit an “Ask Elizabeth” question and your question may be the next one answered!
Do you do giveaways?
Yes! I love to feature brands and small businesses on Oak + Oats! Please send me an email at oakandoats@gmail.com with what you had in mind!
