No longer sleeping in: check. Waking up at odd hours to think about my bulletin board: check. Analyzing my class list: check. “Sunday stomach:” check. Friends, it’s almost August. That means it’s time. I can no longer be in denial. It is here. It is time to embrace back to school thinking. Each fall, there […]
We were sad to leave Vermont but excited to board a car ferry! For Harper and Jameson, this was a first. It was completely cute to watch them as I explained that our entire car was going to drive onto a boat. Really?! There are three different locations that you can grab a ferry to […]
We just returned from a most lovely place. So much green, dotted with red barns. Quiet, peaceful, and lovely. Let me tell you about our trip to Vermont (and, kindly allow me to photo dump upon you). First, we were thrilled to discover that there are multiple direct flights from Denver to Burlington. Score! Our […]

Last week, we packed up and hit the road! A couple of years ago, Harper began to talk about visiting South Dakota after seeing commercials on television for it. We had it on the books for last summer, but Covid canceled our plans. So, we were jazzed to finally get to go! And, I think […]
Happy Father’s Day, dads. The world is better with you in it. Thank you. To celebrate, I compiled a few lists to honor the dads in my life. Here are 10 special tidbits about each of them that you may not know. Jason/Daddy You dressed up for each of our children’s births. You wore a […]
