Hiking Near Flagstaff

The family went hiking yesterday near Flagstaff in Boulder, CO.  I believe the last time I hiked there, my 10-year-old was about two years old. That's CU Boulder in that view. This was at the highest point that I was willing to go.  The view was gorgeous.  In order to get this shot, I had... Continue Reading →

The Hottest Summer I Know

This has truly been the hottest summer I've experienced.  Outside, the yard plants are dying and the grass has patches of yellow everywhere.  The porch plant from Lowe's won't last a day without watering it, the day lilies won't bloom all the way, and the daisies (which always seemed to withstand the weather) withered. July... Continue Reading →

One Photo Four Ways

Once in awhile my heart will yearn to create a fantasy concept just for the heck of it.  I want to share what I did with a photo taken of my 5-year-old.  I asked her to pose for me so that I could create a fantasy layout of her and she jumped right to it. ... Continue Reading →

I prefer the matte long lasting ones and sheers over the pasty or glittery ones. If I could only take one... Continue Reading →

Hiking Mt. Bierstadt

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 →

Damaged Walkway

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...

Be So Happy

Since I learned of Pinterest about a year ago, I've been addicted.  I've been pinning mostly phrases and quotes, and today, I found one that really speaks of my daughter, Kylie.  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 →
