Alright my loves, it is time for a heart to heart on the upcoming holiday. Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend and that gets a mixture of groans, squeals, and silence. I've always been a bit thrown off by the negative reactions. Even after 23 years of dateless Valentine's Days I never once hated it or participated in a "singles awareness day." It never made sense to me because it never was only about romantic love. It was about family dinners, decorating boxes, writing notes to EVERYONE ... continue reading...
Blaze New Trails
There are too many winter haters out there. Granted, I am spoiled by winters filled with snow & sunshine here in Colorado, but I'm convinced winter doesn't get all the love it deserves.

Sun Basket Dinners (& Giveaway)
Guys, it's a miracle - I've been making dinner ;) Haha! For those of you who know me, you know that my cooking skills are pretty sub-par and a lot of that has to do with the fact that I have a million other places I would rather be than in the kitchen! I'm all about the easy meals (aka Tacos) or going to our second kitchen, Rudy's BBQ (it's way too close to our house for our good!) There are many reasons that we default to those things but it mostly boils down to the fact that I am typically ... continue reading...
