Over the weekend the family went to the International Evening of Dance up in Vail with the girls' dance school. The families went separately and met up there. The event was a couple of weeks long and covered all kinds of dancing including hip hop, modern, and ballet. We only went for one day and... Continue Reading →
I've been doing a ton of Youtube and Google research on the Fauxdori, an imitation (DIY) version of the Midori Traveler's Notebook, and finally found the courage and materials to make my first two. The leather were scraps...I was aware that there would be dents and stuff on them which was fine with me since... Continue Reading →

I love all the gifts I got even though it's not really the gifts that matter but the meaning... Continue Reading →
My daughter really enjoyed this year's dance competition. She said it went by too quickly. What she missed most was the friendship with her dance group...and the choreographers. The photos below were taken by a professional. I'm beyond proud of the hard work she put into the dances. 🙂
