It’s official, we are moving! Finding a piece of land has been one of our family goals for a while now. Colorado was ideal, but let’s be honest, we don’t have millions of dollars…not even close. So, we’ve decided to venture out of the state and try something different for a while. The full responsibility … Read morewe are moving
Mica Mines trail is a great hike for kiddos. It is 2.6 miles, which is on the upper end for my girls, but there is so much to look at, it really keeps them going. This is definitely a carrier only hike, due to the major “steps” down into the canyon. You drop down a … Read moremica mines trail

At 2 years old, big sis loves to climb, run, jump and swing on anything and everything. Going to … Read morebig yellow slide
Fabric covered storage bins are perfect to hold all the little things kids need in a somewhat organized manner. Big girl bed for toddler = freedom to empty all the dresser drawers at night. I don’t mind the clothes being pulled out so much, but the little things like headbands, socks and diapers are the … Read morefabric covered storage bins
Quote art is a super easy way to decorate a blank wall, especially if you have a saying you love. Yes, there are a ton for sale in just about every store, but I’m cheap, so I made my own with a printer and glue. The whole project took only a couple of hours and … Read morequote art
In the last place we lived, we had a fireplace with a giant mantle. It was the perfect place to set decorations, but it was in the corner, without any lights. The whole point of putting out decorations is for people to see them, right? I looked at several perforated can lights to buy and … Read moreDIY can lights
Stainless steel pendants have officially replaced the old heavy stone pendants. Hooray for no more knock outs with 5lb. light covers!

I didn’t want to take them out completely because I liked the extra lights, but one of … Read morestainless steel pendants
