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 →
The year flew by. I tried and failed at many things this year, but this last day of the year, I'm going to share the positive things, and my favorites. The photo above is a dish I made trying out roasted purple cauliflower. It's hard to see but to the right of the salmon is... Continue Reading →
The family went to the Botanic Garden over the weekend to see the Blossoms of Light for the first time. I believe the display has been around for awhile. It was beautiful but there were so many people. We bought tickets in advance to be on the safe side and I'm glad we did because... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, Mom would make buttered tortillas for us (seven of us kids) for breakfast then send us on our way to grade school. It has been a whirlwind raising my own kids. They are super picky. The older one doesn't like tortilla with just butter. She prefers quesadillas. I've made a... Continue Reading →
The family went to watch a baseball game at the Coors Field in Denver. The game started out great but the Rockies lost. We weren't there to see the end because we left when the second thunderstorm came through. I took some photos with my phone and did some editing with VSCO. This first photo... Continue Reading →
This was my first hike this year. This was a really easy hike. The landscape was mainly flat so I did't get much workout in, which is fine for now since it's been awhile. The views were beautiful and very green. We laid down a couple of rocks for Kat, the girl who passed away... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month my girls performed their last dance recital. They've moved on to other activities as mentioned in a previous post. This was a bittersweet performance not only because my daughters won't be dancing anymore (my oldest just loves ballet and lyrical), but also because a girl at the dance studio committed suicide and...

Last year I did my first December Daily album. December Daily is a term Ali Edwards uses to describe a scrapbooking photo documenting method for the month of December. I didn't do it sooner because I was doing Project Life (a documenting method by Becky Higgins) and Project Life takes a lot of time. Once... Continue Reading →
Welcome November! October felt a little long this year but it could be due to the steady weather we've had. Just maybe a couple of days of rain during the night and zero snow. Anyhow, in mid-September, Artifact Uprising offered free square prints and I thought I'd try it out to see what's so special... Continue Reading →
