I read "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo in 2015 and attempted her tidying method for awhile. It worked for a little bit. I was able to clear out all the makeup I've collected throughout the years and I've been able to keep my makeup stash to a minimum to this... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, we were hit with a sort of blizzard. But, like most winters here, they never last. School was delayed for the kids this morning due to the icy roads. Just before noon, most the snow and ice had melted. Teddy gets excited when she sees snow. She only comes inside after she's had her... Continue Reading →
A watercolor from a reference sketch. This was the watercolor set I used. The Shmincke Academie was a holiday set from a year ago. I ordered it through Ebay but then realized the same set was also sold on Etsy by the same person (Etsy is my preferred place to buy internationally...I just maneuver the... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! It's been 11 years since I first started blogging with WordPress. I can't believe it's been over a decade. I remember when I first found WordPress and wasn't sure if this would be a good platform to move my blog to. Initially, I was paying another hosting site for a website and... Continue Reading →

It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →

Drive up to Mt. Evans.
Over the weekend I graduated with my Master's degree. I never thought I'd ever get here so I'm pretty thrilled. I started my program in the fall of 2009 and then took a hiatus in the summer of 2010. I had wanted to return but family life was more of a priority at the time.... Continue Reading →
In January, husband went snowboarding in Loveland. He went by himself because I'm not a snowboarder or a skiier. I have been meaning to share photos he took of this little trip. It's all so breathtaking.
Happy New Year! Time is flying by. I can't believe it's already the middle of February. Husband and I have been watching the Olympics and I couldn't believe that four years ago was the winter Olympics in Sochi. It felt like it was just yesterday when that happened. My oldest daughter competed at a national... Continue Reading →
