So many books, so little time! Unlike most in reality right now, this is a good problem to have. What have you been reading? Here are a few I have recently knocked off my book pile. Have you read Untamed? Girls, buckle up. Time to reach inside, harness your inner-diva, and let out your cheetah. […]

As soon as we knew that “school” would happen at home for while, we talked to Harper and Jameson about the things we wanted to be sure to include. One of their favorites from summer time were family book days. “Can we do those, mom?” Harper asked. I was thrilled to oblige. The weather forecasted […]
Hello, reader friends out there. Today was beautiful in Colorado, sunny and almost 70 degrees. Tomorrow, it looks like the clouds may roll back in and wet us. Such as it is during these in-between-spring days. I hope that your warm days are filled with sun, outside fun, and fresh air, and I hope your […]

Happy 4th of July! I hope your day is filled with sunshine, friends and family, music, picnics, and sparklers. I hope you soak up children’s smiles and the sounds of laughter. Life is good here. Each evening at dinner, I ask my kids to share what they are grateful for or what the best part […]
