The world was so big, and I was so small. And your voice was always the loudest of all. “The Backyard” by Miracle Legion photo by Neal Obermeyer

Colorado weather is wonky. Mere days ago it was in the high 80s. I wore flip flops. I got a sunburn. Today we had the [...]

Long Weekend. Not The Good Kind.

This photo has nothing to do with this post. Alley art in Lincoln, Nebraska, Fall 2010.

I’m mad that I’ve been on antibiotics the entire month of April. I’m mad that ear infections plague my child. I’m mad that every time she’s dryheaved or puked it’s been when I [...]

Tree Hugs and Hula Hoops

Confession: I love Longmont.

Longmont is rad because it has an annual Arbor Day celebration that is FREE and really great for families. Maybe I’m fond of Arbor Day and its history because of my maternal side’s roots (ha, ha, get it?!) in Nebraska City, Nebraska, home of the beautiful Arbor Lodge [...]

Making A List, Checking It Twice

The Kid and The Big Man Himself in 2009

Anyone else busy? I usually spend some time in the evenings to blog but this month it’s been runnings errands. I don’t want to claim I’m busier than anyone else this holiday season because that would be foolish, but I don’t like [...]

December 6 – Make What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? (Author: Gretchen Rubin)

I made this. For a BFF. She’s having her first baby in a few weeks. A baby girl [...]

The Good Life: Part Eight

Confession: I love Lincoln, Nebraska. I spent a lot of time there and wanted to share some of my favorite places.

This Friday is the last football game between the University of Colorado, where I work, and the University of Nebraska, where I went to college. Apparently they have been football rivals since 1898. I picked the [...]
