Over at my digital scrap/designing blog, I share freebies, tutorials, new kits, collabs, and my Project Life for those who love to capture the moments of life (like myself) and put them into beautiful layouts to document their legacy. Once in awhile my heart will earn yearn to create a fantasy concept just for the... Continue Reading →
Last evening, husband and I were out on the deck grilling up dinner, and saw this view of the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs. It's far south from our area, but since the elevation is slightly higher here, we get a pretty good view of the mountain range southwest and west of us. I... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I've bought any makeup from a department store. I mainly buy from Sephora.com these days. If you know me, you know that I have a thing for lipsticks. I prefer the matte long lasting ones and sheers over the pasty or glittery ones. If I could only take one... Continue Reading →
Husband has made it a goal to hike all 14ers in Colorado after having hiked Mt. Bierstadt over the weekend with a friend. That's a total of 53 mountain peaks. He wants me to do this with him but I am out of shape and probably won't make them. I hope to at least hike... Continue Reading →
Last year, husband put in a walkway using flagstones, sand, and breeze (photos of it here). Last week, the sand and breeze got washed away by the rainstorm that lasted all evening and through the night (the family even hid under the basement stairs for awhile during the tornado sirens). We're now getting an assessment... Continue Reading →

She is often so happy that her happiness makes me happy. [This image was pinned via Pinterest.com from here.] Is there a way I... Continue Reading →
It's been a long week but somehow it managed to pass by quickly. Memorial Day, I was in Wisconsin for a dear cousin's funeral. It was heartbreaking but it was also really wonderful to be with extended family. It's been almost a decade since I've visited cousins out of state, and with life being busy... Continue Reading →
It is hard for me to believe that Kylie just finished pre-k. Husband and I attended her "graduation" ceremony and while sitting in the small seats and round tables eating our hotdogs, veggies, and fruits it hit me that she was really done and moving on to kindergarten this fall. Husband left before Kylie and... Continue Reading →
Last week, husband and I upgraded our phones to androids. We tried to avoid getting into the android world because it's too expensive and too time consuming...time away from the family. But, we did it. For me, it's really about having a good quick camera with me at all times. I wanted the flexibility of... Continue Reading →
